We Are One: Growing in Christ
YEAR END SWIM PARTY:
THANK YOU to the Triplitt family for hosting the year-end swim party on Friday, May 23, from 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM. Our room mom, Mrs. Villines, will organize the food and drinks. PLEASE LET HER KNOW IF YOU’RE WILLING TO HELP.
Students do not need to come to school first on that day. If you will need a ride from school, please let me know, as we will not be organizing formal carpools. You will also need to pick up your child after the party is over, or make arrangements for them to get home. We will not be going back to People’s Campus. Again, if you need help with this, just let me know.
FINE ARTS FESTIVAL AND CLASSROOM OPEN HOUSE:
Come and join us for a fabulous evening of Fine Arts, Music, and Open House this Tuesday, May 6 at 6:30 P.M. We will begin in our classroom and then head out to the Chapel of People’s Church for the Fine Arts Festival. We are asking that each family bring one dozen cookies for Open House. You can bring them that morning or in the afternoon when you pick up your child from school. Thank you!
