" Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one can fathom."

Many of the students may be feeling weary right now. Term project rough drafts were due today, our "Helping Hands" fundraiser kickoff is tonight, and the 'flu is being (generously?) shared around the school. One thing we can count on though, in the midst of our "storms", is that God is still in control and He does not grow tired or weary. As our memory verse tells us, He is always on the job!
I want to send a heartfelt "thank you" to all of you have been praying for my son as he recovers from his battle with cancer. We believe he is now cancer-free (praise God!). He has hit some bumps in the road to healing, but is persevering.
As I mentioned earlier, the middle school students are working hard to complete their term projects. This year the students are doing persuasive papers on a topic of their choice. Final drafts are due this Friday, and we will use Friday and Monday for presentation practice. Next Tuesday, February 19th, they will be presenting their information to the student body.
For the visual portion of their presentations students may use PowerPoint, a presentation board, or if they would like to try something new they can check out Prezi. Prezi is a new and different presentation program available on the web. It looks fun and different--try it out!
Parents, please encourage your students to practice their presentations at home. Students, remember...
NO READING OF YOUR REPORT FOR YOUR PRESENTATION!
(Note cards or outlines are ok during your presentation.)
Parents and/or supportive guests are welcome to join us for the presentations. Please call ahead to let the office know to expect you.
Tonight is the kickoff potluck for the Helping Hands fundraiser (6 pm). Helping Hands enables us to go into the community for a day of service. Our wonderful donors sponsor that day of service in response to letters and phone calls from the students, staff, families, and school board. In the past we have had to give a commission (of sorts) to the organization who helped us with the idea for Helping Hands. This is the first year we will no longer be obligated pay that commission. All the donations received as a result of the letters and phone calls will go directly to help further the education of our wonderful students, so please be sure to do your part to help support this amazing fundraiser. See you tonight!
Coming soon...
