Notes:
--I was very impressed with all the third graders last week, as they handled the tragedy we suffered here at LC and the following changes to our routine very well. It was a hard week for everyone, and I was very proud of them and the compassion they showed. Please continue to keep the Scarlett family in your prayers.
--The kinks in the grading system should be worked out, so information will be coming before too long. Thank you for your patience.
--Third grade will be leading chapel next Monday. As always, you are invited to join us for worship at St. Peter's at 8:30.
