Miscellaneous Thoughts: 

Our fifth graders had the opportunity to minister at the Samaritan House in Rogers, G/T classes visited a shoe factory in Clarksville, and third graders received a dictionary from the Springdale Rotary. 

I’ve been teaching in Mrs. Tanksley’s first grade class completing coursework for a reading class I began in the summer.  As teachers, we love to see the light go on when students understand or make connections from their reading to real life.  Thank you for trusting us to teach your children from a biblical perspective. 

Last week, I put together a schedule of events for November.  First, I regret that I did not include the purity meeting for parents of fifth graders.  If you missed the meeting, please stop by the nurses’ office and you can preview the video which your child will see on November 25th with a written permission from you the parent.  Secondly, please add family night at Quiznos on November 20th. 

Chapel–Be a Difference Maker

Our chapels for the second nine weeks will focus on making a difference.  Students can be a dolphin or a shark depending on how we treat those who are around us.  K4 students quoted Proverbs 20:11.  Everyone is known by their actions.  In order to make a difference for others, students will need to act like a dolphin–helpful to those around them.  We looked at Ruth 2 to find our biblical example.  Boaz’s actions were kind and considerate.  My challenge to each person at chapel was to be a dolphin. 

Keep sending gently used shoes.

Keep sending plastic bags.

Keep collecting boxtops for education, Tyson labels, Nestle’s water bottle labels, and ink cartridges.
