Parents,
The combined clean up day went very well, thanks to those students and parents who turned out for the event. Since the Maplewood deacons gave us such a short notice, I knew there would be many students who would not be able to make it on Saturday. That’s OK because there is a lot of things that still need to be done to close down the school for the summer. For those students and parents that were not able to attend the clean up day on May 2, we will be having another day to clean up on Thursday, May 14 beginning at 8:00am and ending at noon. Just a reminder, students in grades 6 – 12 are expected to help with clean up. Students in grades K – 5 are welcome to work alongside their parent. Parents who are available are encouraged to join us. Let’s close down one school year and prepare for the next.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs. Young
