Time to CelebrateÉ As the school year draws to a close, we reflect on
the joys and successes that the Lord has showered on our community this year.
Much of this success is due to the loving dedication of so many volunteers.
Next Wednesday morning we take time to host a recognition ceremony for
accomplishments of students and parents. We invite all to be part of the
morning either by simply pausing in the morning to accept a cup of coffee and a
donut from the faculty, coming inside to partake of the brunch, or attending
the recognition ceremony in the church sanctuary. An invitation that outlines
the morning activities is attached.
Where are the
Achievement Tests?É This is a
question that has been asked frequently during the past two weeks. Our testing
company assured us that there would be a three week turnaround to have our
tests scored. When this time had passed, the office contacted the company and
found that an error in the companyÕs billing department had held up the
scoring, but they neglected to contact us. This now has been rectified and the
scores should be coming next week. They will be mailed to each home within a
week of receipt.
From Grace Room
Parents...A Grace School tradition
is to show our appreciation to the teachers and staff by giving them a monetary
gift collected from the families. Please take a look at the attached list and
consider contributing in this way. All monies need to be sent to the school
office no later than June 3rd.
The room parents will distribute the gifts along with a card on the last
day of school.
