Weekly Word – March 11, 2018

Note From Sister Merris

Thank you to all parents who bid and won “dress down” for all of the classes. We will have it this week for all classes and the kids can be relaxed as we begin our standardized testing week. I hope you are safe. This has been a challenging time for all of us but I know there are people who suffer these challenges everyday. Let’s pray for them and thank God for all of our blessings.

Monday, March 12 – Friday, March 16 – TESTING FOR GRADES 2-8

All students should be to school on time.  No one will be admitted to class during testing, they will have to sit on the bench in the lobby.  Please make sure children get a good night’s sleep and a hearty breakfast.  Please do not make appointments during the day during testing week.
