Bibles

Some students have not yet brought in a bible, this is one of the required school supplies.

We are starting a Bible Scavenger. We will be working on this for a couple of weeks. Students need to have their own bible to be able to do this. If you have not yet sent a bible in with your students, please do so ASAP. We use NIV at Highroad. While it is fine to send in other versions, your student will have the least frustration if they can follow along with the class using the same version. Thank you!

Memory Verse

We have started a new memory verse: I sent home a paper copy yesterday.

We will be working on Ephesians 3:14-21.

I will test the first 2 verses next Friday, January 19.

“For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name.” Ephesians 3:14, 15

Cozy Casual Days

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas holiday. This Wednesday the students are invited to wear cozy clothing instead of uniform. They can wear anything they feel is cozy including PJ’s. We earned this day because as a school we collected over 1000 items of food and clothing for the Salvation Army. Good work, Highroad!!

We also will have a cozy day for January 17th that was already scheduled.

Final Week

We made it to the final week before Christmas Break!! WE ARE TIRED!!! I just wanted to remind you of a few things this week.

This week is Christmas Sweater & Dress Up:  students can dress up in Christmas sweaters, hats, and Christmas wear all week. It is casual Christmas clothing. They can wear casual bottoms and whatever shoes they like.

This is the last week to bring in your items for Highroad Helps. Thank you to those that have already donated.

Thank you so much to the parents that brought in goodies for our Christmas Countdown days. It has been a lot of fun.

The students are to come to school in their Sunday best on Thursday for the concert. The concert will run from 9:30-10:30 and then the students are dismissed for break after the concert from their classroom.

Gingerbread houses…. shhhh

Our (SURPRISE) gingerbread house day is on Thursday. PLEASE KEEP THIS SECRET, as we open up our Christmas activity as a surprise each morning.

If you are able to send in a couple things for this, we still need:

-2 boxes of graham crackers

-assorted candy

-royal icing

If you are able to send things in, please do so tomorrow, or let me know if you will be sending it in on Thursday morning. (Mrs. Orrell or I will run to the store on Wednesday night to pick up whatever we are missing).

THANKS!

Christmas Concerts

Hello Parents!

It is almost time for Christmas concerts and I am so excited to see what the students have been working so hard on.

The Intermediate concert (grade 4s) is this Friday at 1:30. Please come! Students are asked to wear ugly or nice Christmas sweaters (or dresses), or dress like a caroler.

The Primary (grade 3s) concert is next Thursday (Dec 21) at 9:30. Parents and family are also welcome at this concert! Students are asked to wear their Christmas best for the concert.

Just a reminder that the last day of school before Christmas is next THURSDAY and students will be dismissed right after the primary concert, at 10:30.

Looking forward to the nest week and a bit of Christmas fun with your precious children.

Monday

Thank you so much to those bringing goodies for our surprise pancake lunch on Monday. If you could send those items with your child in the morning on Monday. We plan to do the pancakes for lunch so no need to send a lunch with your child. Hope you are having a great weekend.
