Welcome sixth grade families! Our school theme is based on a verse from the prophet Isaiah. To show just how valuable God's people are to Him, Isaiah declares:
Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands;
your walls are continually before me.
your walls are continually before me.
Isaiah 49:16
What a great message as
we begin a new school year. When we feel forgotten or unimportant, or when we've messed up big time, we can know that we are special to God - so valuable that we were engraved on His hands through the marks of the nails used when Jesus died for our sins on the cross. We are forgiven, redeemed, and chosen to follow him.
I
am so excited to be your child's teacher this year! I am busy making preparations for you and getting
our classroom ready. It will be great year of
learning, making friends, and of course, growing in our faith. I
am looking forward to seeing you at our Open House on a August 15 between 2-7 p.m.
Our classroom is in the lower level of the Junior High building. Stop
in to greet me and Mrs. Donner, the other 6th grade teacher. You may
drop off school supplies * * that day. Don't forget that school photos
for the yearbook will be taken in the Commons, so be sure to wear a
polo. There will also be an opportunity to browse gently used school uniforms (free!!) Remember you can drop off uniforms for the exchange at the office by Aug. 12.
I look forward to partnering with you in your child's education
and faith walk. Enjoy the last weeks of summer break!
God's blessings,
Mrs. Riemenschneider

**School supplies: Please stick closely to the school supply list. I know not all items are in stock, so do your best. Label most items with student names. (NO NEED TO LABEL: cleaning supplies, expo markers, gluesticks) It's OK to hold off on buying facial tissues and paper towels until winter. I have plenty to start the year. I'll let you know when we are running low.
Please email me any questions you have about
the supply list.
