Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!

  • Friday, December 17th, school gets out at 12:00 and there is no after care on that day.  School staff will be leaving the campus for a Christmas get together and lunch.  Please be sure to pickup your students on time.
  
  • School will be out for Christmas vacation from 12/17/2010 at 12:00 pm until Wednesday 1/5/2011. 

  • School spirit t-shirts will go on sale right after vacation.  This will be a fund raising event, so please be sure to buy a t-shirt during the sale.  The students can wear their shirts on Wednesdays instead of their uniform shirts.  Help us promote school spirit!

  • As we approach the celebration of the birth of Jesus, let us be careful not to fall into the trap of behaving as the unbelievers do.  As christians, this is a day that we have chosen to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ of Nazareth.  The Word became flesh and came to dwell with us, that God himself, might give himself for us to prevent us from recieving what we deserve.  The wages of sin is death and we all are sinners.  But now we are saved by GRACE.  The unbelieving world's focus is on Christmas trees and Santa and lights and greenery even to the point of not mentioning Jesus at all!  Let us be different in the way we approach this celebration.  Keep the primary focus, on how "The Word became flesh" and let Christmas be a day of gratitude for God so loving the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have evelasting life.  God became flesh and suffered to save us!  Take Christ out of Christmas?  Let's be real.  Do we take the United States out of of the 4th of July celebration?  Do we remove our own name from our own birthday celebrations?  No one can take Christ out of our Christmas celebration unless we allow it to happen in our own homes.  Parents and guardians; you keep pespective on what this celebration is about and teach the children what this is about, not just with your words, but with your actions as well.  May the Lord bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you all the days of your life and give you peace. 
  God bless you all,
