Reminders -

Valentine's Day, February 14th - So that we do not encourage the "boy-girl" relationship (primarily in the Middle School), our school administrators decided a few years ago that it is best not to have a class and student to student exchange of Valentines at school.  We do however, in Kindergarten, make a Valentine for our parents and the kindergarten teachers have a small Valentine goody for the students that will be handed out subtly at the end of the day.  

Wednesday, February 13th - Arts Festival at PCS (Kindergarten does not participate).

Poetry Recital - February 26 at 9:00 a.m. -This weekend you will receive the Nursery Rhyme that your child chose to recite.  Please practice at home and we will continue to recite, draw, etc. at school.  Each child will recite their own nursery rhyme (by themselves) at our Poetry Recital.  We will recite Psalms 23 as a group.   Our moms of the month will contact you about food items for our small reception following the Poetry Recital.  

Thanks so much for your continued prayers and encouragement this year.  The students have made incredible progress academically since we returned in January.  Each week we are blessed to see their efforts to really grow and learn.
