We will be happy to address all non-emergent issues/concerns when we return. We covet your prayers for safe travels and good health while we are there.

Drama Update - Thank you to all who came and auditioned this past Monday for this year's drama production; it's sure to be another great performance. Mrs. Leon and Mrs. Nevils plan to post the cast on Monday, February 19th. The first scheduled rehearsal is Friday, February 23rd at which time all fees are due. This year's fees are as follows: Crew only ($15.00) Cast ($40.00) There is still a need for a parent volunteer(s) to supervise kids that need to stay after school until rehearsals begin at 4:00. If there are not volunteers then students will need to be picked up at 3:00 and then return at the start of rehearsal, so please be praying about how you could help. Contact Katelynn Nevils, (660) 287-1681, if you are willing to help out or have any questions.
