Successful PIE Night

Praise God for a successful and fun PIE night. Our theme was literacy and the librarian from the Pueblo Lamb Library along with the Pueblo Firefighters who read and interacted with participants made it a great night. Literacy activities, goody bags, free books and refreshments of pie had the students and parents all requesting when the next PIE night would be.  Thank you to all of the volunteers who helped make the event a positive one for our community.

Parents don't forget that tomorrow is a half day and students will need to be picked up at noon.

Our quote for today is from H. Jackson Brown, Jr., "Remember that the happiest people are not those getting more, but those giving more."

The Tabernacle

This week in history we have been studying the ark of the covenant and the tabernacle.  What a beautiful lesson on God's love for us.  We built a paper model and here is a link to some more information about the symbolism: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1d4S73lx0UY

Don't forget that tomorrow we have reading tests and tonight is PIE night!  See you there!

Our quote for today is from Dieter Uchtdorf, "Though we are incomplete, God loves us completely. Though we are imperfect, He loves us perfectly."

Getting Ready!

Today we sang, cleaned and colored to get ready for the big ribbon cutting event for tomorrow.  We are excited for the community to come to our school and help us celebrate the re-opening of the Daystar Christian School. Please pray that our school would be a beacon of light for Jesus in our city. 

Reading packets are due on Thursday. Because of the shortened week there will be no SpellingCity or definitions this week. ALSO, works cited pages are due tomorrow for persuasive papers. http://mlaformat.org/mla-format-works-cited/
