Dear ALL Parents,
Next week Thursday and Friday (Oct. 13-14) we do NOT have school, so our teachers can attend the Christian Educators Association (CEA) Convention in South Bend, IN.  Pray for them as they travel and learn and share with one another this weekend.  We also will not be having school on October 19 for conferences in the afternoon and Staff Professional Development Day in the morning, and then NO SCHOOL again on Monday, October 31.   The staff will be attending Spiritual Emphasis Work at the Cinema Carousel Theater that day to preview what the students will be experiencing in the four days that follow!

Tomorrow I will fill you in on all the details of conferences that will be coming up on Tuesday, October 18 and Wednesday, October 19 like times, how to go about signing up, etc..., so make sure you tune in tomorrow!!!
