We have completed the first quarter of the school year! It has been full of learning and activity and gone very quickly. We now embark on second quarter when the learning gets harder and the activities increase. Are you ready? In addition to all the curriculum projects, we will have awards for the fall fundraiser, two minimum days for parent-teacher conferences, an honor/merit chapel and Thanksgiving in November. Don’t forget Operation Christmas Child and food for needy families on November 20th. In December we will have two evening programs. On the 9th the second graders will present “It All Happened in the Country,” and our choirs will combine to present a Christmas Concert on December 16th. You are invited to both. Early in the month there will be a spelling bee for students in grades 1-6 and Christmas Caroling for all the evening of the 11th. Vacation will begin at 12:30 p.m. on the 18th and school will resume January 4th. Winners of the spelling bee in December will compete on January 8th representing our school in an ACSI District 5 challenge! First semester will end on January 15 and we will celebrate with Martin Luther King, Jr. with a day off. I repeat, “Are you ready?”
