Verse to remember:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Isaiah 9:6 “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder; and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Candy Cane Cafe-<\/strong> On Tuesdays in December, students can enjoy cocoa and a cookie and help STUCO raise money for our school in the process. There is a jar in the classroom to collect change from the cafe and other donations to be added to our chapel offering. The offering money will be used to help a few families in the KC area who struggle to pay for groceries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n 3rd\u20138th Grade Christmas Program<\/strong> Reception:<\/strong> A cookie reception will follow the program.
