Today we held our Maundy Thursday chapel as we commemorate the day in which Jesus instituted the Lord’s Supper. On Friday we will not have school as we reflect on Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross for the sins of all people. Easter is coming! You are welcome to attend Easter Sunday services here at Hope, 8:00 Am and 10:30 AM, to celebrate Christ’s Resurrection and victory over sin, death, and the devil! There will be no school on Monday, April 6th as we continue to celebrate the Resurrection! He is risen, indeed! Alleluiah! We look forward to having no school on Monday to enjoy more time with our families. We also look forward to Tuesday’s Jog-A-Thon event and time to enjoy the outdoors, good exercise, and time with our friends. God bless you and your family as you celebrate – Happy Easter!
KAP TESTING
We have begun taking our Kansas state assessments. We will finish the testing on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, April 8th, 9th, and 10th. Please make every effort to have your child in attendance for these state required tests. Please help your child to do his/her best by encouraging a full night’s rest and offering a healthy breakfast. Thank you!
JOG-A-THON
We are looking forward to our Spring fundraiser: Jog-a-Thon “Running for Health and Safety. Strengthening Care. Supporting Every Student.” We will be having our running event on Tuesday, April 7th. A bright pink sponsor form with an attached envelope is coming home in the Thursday Folder so your child may ask friends and family for pledges and donations and will be able to keep record of money collected. Your child is asked to wear a shirt to match his/her chapel family color. Most students are with a teacher other than their classroom teacher. The Chapel Family Leaders and colors are as follows: Miss Haley– Blue, Mrs. Heis- Red, Miss Christian– Green,Mrs. Krzensinski- Yellow, Mrs. Begley– Purple,Mrs. McIntosh– Gray, Mrs. Schkade– Orange, Miss Mondary– Pink,Mrs. Maurice– White. Please ask your child which family he/she belongs to, and you can dress your child accordingly.

Get Ready for Our “Celebrate America – 250 Years” History Fair Event!
Our students have been working hard on their projects and presentations, and we can’t wait for you to see their creativity and dedication come to life on Thursday, April 30th. Be sure to put it on your calendar, and invite family and friends!
Memorizing States and Capitals
We sent flash cards home before Spring Break to be used to begin preparing for a final test of the 50 states and capitals. Please help your child continue to practice the Northeast and Southeast states and continue learning the others until all 50 are mastered! We will expect the flash cards to be cared for and placed back neatly in the boxes and ziplock bag provided. Please be sure the boxes and cards are not torn or bent. Please be sure they are stored in the box and bag when not in use. Students will be responsible for returning the cards they “checked out” on or before the end of the school year.
