We are taking our fall MAP testing right now, this is a good baseline to see if the students are growing throughout the year. This is also good practice for finals, so they are used to using a computer and are in the correct testing mindset. It’s been great seeing everyone’s school spirit this week and I am excited to see everyone Saturday 9/9 at the 40th anniversary bash.
Our school theme is “Connected” with our verse of “I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.“–John 15:1-5.
Chapel offerings will go to LeadaChild for 1st quarter.
