Invitation to Parent's Day

Thank you Kristen for taking a great snapshot of Joshua.  He loves to make us smile and laugh.

Parents, today you will be getting a personal invitation from your child for our Parent's Day.  On February 14th, you are invited (or another caring adult) to join us for the whole school day!!!  We would love for you to experience one of our school days and take an intimate look into your child's world.  If you can also participate with your child in our chapel service (musical number) please let us know. 

Each grade will have a reading packet due on Monday that is a large portion of their grade.  Next week they will have tests over this same book.  Please ask them about the book they are reading.

Today we had the Holocaust Memorial Resource and Education Center of Florida come do an assembly at our school.  Mr. Bloomer, the speaker, spoke with knowledge and passion about the events that led to the Holocaust.  At the root were lies and selfishness but similar events can be prevented with love.  Paul precisely said in 1 Corinthians 13:1-3, "If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing."


Our patience quote for today is from Samuel Wells, "Patience is woven into the web of the universe because this universe reflects–in dim and fractured ways–the divine patience of its creator."
Patience is woven into the web of the universe because this universe reflects--in dim and fractured ways--the divine patience of its creator.
