We had a great trip to the Capitol in Topeka last week! Thank you to all the parent /chaperones that came along to enjoy the day! Today we celebrate our 100th Day of School! We will be taking a geography test on Friday to determine the 4th grade two students and alternate who will compete in the Hope Geography Bee on February 25th. February 27th. We have an opportunity to help serve others during Lent. We are asking for some more volunteers to help our third grade friends who will be ushering during the 4:00 PM Lenten services on February 25th, March 4th, March 11th, March 25th. We do not serve on February 18th, which is Ash Wednesday. Please consider allowing your child to serve in this way. There will also be a meal served in Concord Hall for following each 4:00 service.

Open House
We will have Open House on Thursday, February 19th from 5:30 – 6:30 PM Please bring your child to see their next year’s classroom and take a peek at what your child will be learning in the coming year!
Memorizing Multiplication Tables
This upcoming week we will be taking our tables of 5 & 6 one-minute tests. Each test contains 12 questions covering one table of multiplication. We will test on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays to cover about two tables per week. Students will retake each timed test until achieving 100% and passing on to the next table. We will usually use Fridays to increase speed and accuracy for anyone needing to retake a table. Students will be working at their own pace and not in competition with classmates. The deadline for completing and mastering the tables will be March 6th. Look for more information to be coming in your child’s binder.
Lenten Service – Student Help wanted
4th grade has been asked to help the 3rd grade with handing out service folders and ushering for the 4:00 Wednesday Lenten Services beginning on February 25th. 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 Mrs. Krzesinski and Mrs. Begley will accompany them to the sanctuary and stay with them until after the service. Please use the link below to indicate which service(s) your child could be available to serve. It is not expected that your child serves every week, but please indicate any/all weeks that it would be possible. (Only 4 are needed each week, but there is room for 2 extra in each slot for signing up.) Thank you in advance for your willingness to serve!
