Weekly School Broadcast Clearly, this week of school looked different than the first 11 weeks of school did. It is certainly more joyful around the building when the students are here. It is our intention to be back on campus with the students on November 30th. Thank you for working with us during this time. The support from you and the entire community has been overwhelming. Thank you.
As we prepare for the return of our students, please continue to be mindful of your health and your daily practices. Please report any illnesses to the school that may be diagnosed during your time away from campus and closely monitor for any symptoms. This will help us tremendously with our tracking and safety procedures.
We are anxiously awaiting the return to campus for the students and pray that you all stay healthy and enjoy time with family as we celebrate Thanksgiving next week. There will be no Broadcast next week, as we only have 2 days of school. Happy Thanksgiving!
Matt Langsdale, Principal
Everything indeed is for you, so that the grace bestowed in abundance on more and more people may cause the thanksgiving to overflow for the glory of God (2 Corinthians, 4:15).
