Parents,
It is hard to believe that there is only three more weeks of school left! It is pretty busy around here trying to finalize one school year and making preparations for the next.
Student Council Elections were held this week. The following individuals represent our student leadership for next year: President - Drew Wedemeyer, Vice-President – Mariah Wassam, Treasurer – Kirstin Bergman, Secretary – Savannah Crosier, and Sentinels – Mary Drenon & Katie Wassam. Congratulations to our new student leaders!
The “Big Bad Musical” is being performed this Friday at 7pm and Saturday at 5pm. The fairy tale creatures have put the big bad wolf on trial for being “big” and “bad”. Come see this fractured fairy tale with your family and you be the jury. Is the wolf innocent or guilty? Tickets are $5.00 for adults, $4.00 for children, and $1.00 off if you come in a fairy tale costume.
In the next coming weeks we will be working to interview new families for the few student openings we have left. We will also be looking to fill teacher positions and parent job positions long held by many of our older families. If you have not signed up for your parent job for next year, please do so soon. We will be offering new families any positions not filled at the time of their interview.
Continue to pray for the teachers, students, and administration as this school year comes to a close that we would all end the year doing our best. Please also be in prayer for the new administration, Mrs. Herrington & Mrs. Church as they have already begun the job of planning for the new school year.
In Christ,
Mrs. Young

Bring sneakers for PE if you are wearing flip-flops. No hats or sunglasses inside the buildings.
