Week 28 Grandparents Day!

Thanks to all the Grandparents and Special Friends who came to spend time with us today.  We loved playing games with you and showing off our school.  You hold a special role in shaping our young people - we honor that role and cherish the memories we create together.  I hope I got your picture with your grandchild, but I know things were pretty busy in our classroom!  

 

Our 7th graders led worship with a wonderful chancel drama and sign language message of how we run this race of GRACE not alone, but with God on our side.  Be ready for your students who will get to lead worship next year for GP day!!

 

There are lots of events in the Friday Email from the office.  I wanted to highlight the poetry night at Immanuel, St. Charles next Friday.  I was blessed to be a parent chaperone at the Lutheran Youth Gathering in New Orleans last August and Tanner Olsen was one of our mass event leaders.  The youth were mesmerized by his down to earth poetry.  He really connected with young people and helped them focus on faith in the challenges of every day life.  I highly recommend attending one of the events hosted there next week.  See the flyer below. 

 

From the class bloggers:

This week was a fun but busy week. In gym class we did 

badminton and pickle ball. In art we are working on a fun

 cross art. We had a lot of tests but we got them done and

 hopefully we all did good.

 Upcoming events

Week 26 Ash Wed/Kids Heart Challenge

 We began the season of Lent with Ash Wednesday.  Mrs. Kuhlmann led chapel and helped us see that this is a time for us to remember just why Jesus came to die for us - sinners.  Yet we know the end of the story.  Jesus lives again on Easter and brings us salvation!!

What a blessing it was to be able to have Tuesday to celebrate the life of our beloved Mrs. Glover with colleagues and families.  Thank you for helping accommodate an unexpected day off school.  

This week 6th grade was hit hard with illness.  Please remind students that we will work with them to get caught up. In general work through one day at a time on the Daily Assignment sheet as you get caught up.  I would give priority to the research paper, math, and Science as those subjects build the most upon each other.

As we are stepping into the last 2 weeks of the quarter, remember that grades can be checked on Sycamore at any time, but may not reflect this past week’s grades until Monday.
