Chapel
The fish of the week was a salmon. In chapel, we talked about persevering. Just like the salmon swims upstream, we as Christians must continue to work against difficult odds. Continue to encourage your children to work hard even if the task is diffcult, long, and even boring at times.
Soup Contest
On October 16th, we have challenged the secondary students to collect cans of soup. We will bring the cans of soup to class next week. Each class will count their cans and bring the total to chapel. The class with the most cans will get to wear their shirttails out for the rest of the day. If elementary brings more cans than secondary, we will get to wear sweat suits on Friday the 17th. All the soup will be distributed through REACH ministries of FBC.
Walmart Bags–please continue to send them with your children. I have collection points in the elementary office hallway and bags available at morning drop-off.
Parent/Teacher Conferences
On Monday, October 20th, please sign up for a time to visit with your child’s teacher.

Praise God for the beautiful weather for our tailgate parties! Thank you parents for volunteering to plan and man the parties. The megaphones really added to the homecoming pep rally too! What a wonderful school family.
Yesterday in chapel we spelled the word PROBLEM and discussed how to have a good attitude.
P-Perspective
R-Reminder
O-Opportunity
B-Blessing
L-Lesson
E-Everyone has them.
M-My Choice how I respond to them.
As we made lemonade, we learned that problems either sour us or we turn the problem into lemonade. In Numbers 21, Moses followed God’s commands and turned a problem into salvation for the people of Israel. We can do the same.
Winner of the Boxtop Contest in September was Mrs. May’s Class.
Parents of first graders met on Thursday afternoon to learn how to help their child begin AR testing. An information sheet will be sent home on Friday for those who couldn’t make the meeting. Please take time to read it. In computer class next week, Mrs. Cox will demonstrate how to take the test. Your child will need help for the first few tests, but the children pick up very quickly how to test. Encourage your child to bring home at least one AR book per week. Every child can earn a medal which will be announced at the end-of-the-year assembly.
