Report Cards – Look for your student’s report card coming home in the Thursday envelopes this week. Report cards will be in a separate white envelope. Please sign and return the empty envelope to confirm that you have received the report card.
Trunk or Treat – Come join us for Trunk or Treat in Hope’s parking lot tomorrow, October 25, from 5:30 – 7:00. Many different groups from Hope are hosting trunks. Come to enjoy the fun!
Reformation Stained Glass – Our class has been working on an art project that names the “three solas” identified with the Reformation by Martin Luther. They are sola scriptura, sola gratia, and sola fide, that is, scripture alone, by grace alone, through faith alone. Some of their work will be displayed in the narthex this Sunday as we celebrate Reformation at Hope this weekend.
Science City – We are looking forward to our trip to Science City next week! Please remember that your child will need to bring their own lunch that day as we have made arrangements to eat on the premises there. Students should wear their normal school uniform for this field trip.
The weather is changing! Even though we have some warm sunny days mixed in, the overall temperatures are dropping this time of year. Please be sure that your child has a warm coat for recess.
Outdoor Recess Policy
On most days, students will be expected to go outside for recess. If the following conditions exist, the students will not be taken out except to get a few minutes of fresh air.
- The temperature is 15 degrees F. (-13 C) or below. The wind chill index is 0 (-18 C) or below. There is significant falling moisture.
- Teachers may take their classes out briefly for fresh air at their discretion.
Book Reports – This quarter we will be writing and sharing book reports. They will not be due until December. More information will be coming home in the next several weeks, but I encouraged the kids to begin looking for the book that they would like to use for their report. This book should be in the genre of fiction. They have been so excited to read the chapter books in the classroom already!
Hope’s Heroes Auction and Costume Party – Parents Auction for Hope School (PAHS) is on Saturday, November 9! Come join the fun and help us raise funds for our special classes and technology needs! I am offering an afternoon of crafts or games in December for the kids so that mom and dad can have an opportunity to get holiday projects/shopping done without the “help” of their children.

Memory for October 30
The Eighth Commandment: You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.
What does this mean? We should fear and love God so that we do not tell lies about our neighbor, betray him, slander him, or hurt his reputation, but defend him, speak well of him, and explain everything in the kindest way.
