Dear Parents/Guardians:
The school year is moving along at a rapid pace. We are already in the second marking period. Please encourage your child to do his/her best at all times and turn in all assignments on time. Last week the students were spiritually blessed by the Week of Prayer conducted by our chaplain, Pastor Hayden. Over 35 of the upper grade students want to take Bible studies and 15 students indicated a desire to be baptized. God be praised! Pastor Hayden will contact each student’s home church and pastor.
Please take note of the following:
1. Clemente/Miss Chocolate Fundraiser – I am happy to report that we raised $4,500 in our first fundraiser. I want to thank the parents who participated. Parents, I am appealing to you to make a concerted effort to support the fundraising drives. Only 20 parents participated in our first fundraiser. The more parents who participate, the more funds we can raise to benefit our school.
