Week of September 30, 2024

 

Dear parents,

First, I ask that you join me in praying for those that were impacted by Hurricane Helene last week. Obviously, the hurricane impacted us as well with rain and wind; however, the Country Fair planning team and all volunteers did a great job this weekend! 

Next, the E-Learning Day on the Friday before Country Fair is always a practice for possible E-Learning days for inclement weather.  We understand that there may be issues and when these occur, please email the teacher. 

We will utilize the church parking lot this afternoon like we did last week at dismissal.  The tents will be down later today and we will be back to regular dismissal procedures tomorrow.

Lastly,  if you use the preschool drop off in the back of the school, please be very careful when parking and pulling out.  The littles ones cannot always be seen, and we definitely don’t want to hit any children or adults. Remember that when you leave your parking spot, you must go around the school to exit because it is one-way traffic in the morning.

In Christ,

Mrs. Saundra Kennison, principal
