*Before School Classroom Meetings  Monday, August 8th (please read following schedule for specific grade level times)

In an effort to value your time and still be able to give you much needed information, we have partnered with the PTO for our back to school meetings this year!  This will allow you to have a meeting with your teacher before school starts, a time to prepare your child's desk with supplies, and a brief PTO meeting---all combined into one meeting time for you!  (Note: this night is designed to allow parents a time to visit the room and get to know the teacher. Childcare is not provided on this particular evening.)

*Kindergarten Classroom Meetings (Kindergarten Bldg.)

(Parents from Grades 4-5 will remain in Willett Hall and a tour of the new lower school building will be offered.)

7:15-8:00    Grades 4-5 Classroom Meeting with teacher, Room mother info/sign up sheets, forms you need to fill out will be on your child's desk during this time, you may also bring chair packs and school supplies to pack your child's desk for the first day of school!  This helps the first day of school (Aug. 10th) run smoothly for everyone.

Tornado Victims and National Day of Prayer!

Our MS/US conducted a service project last week aimed at helping those with needs from the recent storms in Alabama. This coming week you will receive an email letting you know the specifics of a Lower School Project aimed at those needs as well.

Thursday, May 5th, is National Day of Prayer and it comes at a very needed time as we remember all those that lost loved ones and homes last week. The theme this year is "A Mighty Fortress is our God". Our PTO will offer an informal prayer time with a light breakfast available for parents and students on Thursday morning, May 5th, in Willett Hall. We look forward to joining together as a school to pray for our families and leaders.


Let me end with some pictures that will make you smile! Our first graders (and their teachers!) enjoyed pajama day last Friday as a follow up to their lessons on the beloved children's book, "Ira Sleeps Over"!
