Dear Parents,
Wednesday’s chapel was led by Pastor Grams who is the assistant to the president of the Kansas District. His message focused on how we, like the wisemen, can be wise followers of Jesus.
Tonight (Thursday) is our Grade 3-8 Christmas program. Students are to wear black bottoms/skirts and a white top. Students are to be in their classrooms by 5:45. The program will begin at 6:00 sharp. Students need to return to the classroom after the program in order to return their red bows/ties.
There will be no dinner before our program, however, the eighth grade will have a class fundraiser at Panda Express across the street from Hope from 4:00-8:00 pm.
NEW: Be watching for a Life Team Art Contest: A 9 x 12 paper will be provided along with detailed directions for any student who may want to participate in Grades 4-6.
Reminder: Please sign up for your Parent-Teacher Conference on the class Sign-Up Genius if you have not already done so. Presently, nine of you have not signed up.
Reminder: There will be no Study Hall after school next week due to the Parent-Teacher conferences which start on Monday for the upper grades.
NEW: On Friday, January 30, we will be attending Biztown with other fifth grade schools throughout the metro. I will need three volunteers to not only drive, but to participate in the day activities. We will be leaving at the beginning of the day and will return to school around 2:45 pm. Please consider participating with us. A field trip form will be sent home in your child’s yellow envelope.
The JA BizTown program introduces important aspects of work readiness, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy to students with a solid foundation of business, economics, and free enterprise education within the context of a community. We have started on job applications, resumes, and are presently learning how to write and endorse checks. The kids are very excited to participate in this opportunity.
We will be having our “delayed” Christmas party on Friday starting at 2:00. Just a reminder that all students are to bring a pair of “silly socks” for a gift exchange. Parents are welcomed.

Blessings,
Mrs. Kathy McIntosh
