The school building was completely transformed for the Mystery Dinner. The students had a blast! Fun costumes, elaborate decorations, and wonderful food filled the school and we are so blessed to be able to carry on the Mystery Dinner tradition that was started so many years ago. We could not do this without the support of our families and community members. So many people stepped up to donate their time, talents, and treasures. Thank you to the parents who donated water and food (cookies, cakes, fruit, vegetables, etc.). Thank you to Victoria's Restaurant for the main courses. Thank you to the parents and volunteers that were here all day to ensure the event was able to take place. Thank you to our staff members for playing important roles in this event. And, thank you to the parents that spent their Thursday evening transforming our classrooms into scenes from story books. Thank you to anybody I may have missed. We are extremely grateful. Thank you for all you do for our school, our staff, and especially for the kids. You are all amazing blessings. Matt Langsdale, Principal Therefore, my beloved brothers, be firm, steadfast, always fully devoted to the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain (1 Corinthians, 15:58). |
