Announcements
* Several students are bringing back incomplete math homework pages. Please note that while students should be able to do most of the math worksheet by themselves, there are often story problems that students may need someone to read for them. Thank you.
*There will be no school Monday, September 5th due to Labor Day. Chapel will be held on Tuesday of that week.
*Pastor Bernard from Haiti will be speaking at our Chapel Service on Monday, September 12th. You are, as always, welcome to attend. This is a great opportunity to hear about his work in Haiti.
*Please remember to send a written note if your child is going home a different way. If someone other than the person who usually picks them up will be picking them up, I also need to know that. Thank you again for your cooperation.
