Your Help is Wanted!
We are in need of Student Ushers for the up-coming Lenten services. Ash Wednesday is this Wednesday, March 5th. We will be having the imposition of ashes during our Wednesday chapel service. The next week we will be needing ushers for the after-school 4:00 p.m. service. We will serve from 3:45 – 5:00 p.m. We have 4 opportunities to serve and would like to see as many students involved as possible. Thank you!
Student Ushers – The season of Lent begins with Ash Wednesday and continues up until Easter. 3rd-4th grades have been asked to help with handing out service folders and ushering for the 4:00 Wednesday Lenten Services beginning on March 12th. This is an opportunity for the students to be involved in a way that they enjoy and can be of service to the congregation that supports our school in so many ways. Student helpers can stay with me after school, and I will accompany them to the sanctuary until after the service. Please use this Sign-Up Genius to indicate which service(s) your child could be available to serve. Your child is not expected to serve every week, but please indicate any/all weeks that it would be possible. Lenten student usher sign-up

We would like the fourth graders to be ready to dress in white button shirts or blouses with black pants for the boys and red skirts for the girls. If anyone would like to coordinate this effort, please let the teacher know.

The Third Article pg. 17-18 “In the same way He calls, gathers, enlightens, and sanctifies the whole Christian church on earth, and keeps it with Jesus Christ in the one true faith. In this Christian church He daily and richly forgives all my sins and the sins of all believers. On the Last Day He will raise me and all the dead, and give eternal life to me and all believers in Christ. This is most certainly true.”

The Introduction pg. 19-20 “Our Father who art in heaven. What does this mean? With these words God tenderly invites us to believe that He is our true Father and that we are His true children, so that with all boldness and confidence we may ask Him as dear children ask their dear father.”
Multiplication Memorization
We are still going over the Multiplication Tables of 0 – 12 this quarter. Please practice the tables using flash cards, computer games, etc. so that your child can increase in speed and accuracy. Students will be working to earn a special treat for passing each of the tests. Please prepare your child to answer the multiplication tables of 9 – 12 for next week so that your child may test out of those tables. We will test on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. We should be done with the tables by the end of March.
