News and Notes:


Thanksgiving Food Drive
Wednesday, November 14th is our school Thanksgiving Food Drive.  In the month of November we support the Seminarian Food Bank.  Seminarians are men studying to be pastors.  We provide 20 Thanksgiving meals to Seminarian Families unable to go home for Thanksgiving.
The Student Council has assigned a food item to each grade. 

First grade should bring: Stuffing & Boxed Potatoes (mashed, sweet, slices, etc.)

Thank you for helping to provide Thanksgiving dinners to 20 seminarians.  Our offerings for the month of November will go to buy the turkeys.  What a great way to help support those who spread the Good News.  You may sent food in by November 14.

Advent Service
Mark your calendars for December 19th at 10:00am and 7:00pm.  First and Second grades lead an Advent service.  Individual speaking parts will be sent home after Thanksgiving.  More details to come as we grow closer.

Bible Study for Parents
Please join us November 11-30th for a Bible study on practical advice and encouragement on shaping the next generation.  Bringing up Girls and Boys led by Jon and Amy Bernhardt and Joe and Laura Arens.  The study will use video clips of Dr. James Dobson and small group discussion  that will offer advice and encouragement rooted in Biblical principals on rising strong, healthy and confident children.

Thank you notes for our deployed solider care packages:

Mrs. Tyler,

Thank you very much for the wonderful care package that your students sent us. My guys and I will surely enjoy all of the great things that the kids sent. (especially the popcorn and "Dumb Dumbs")

We hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving and a very Merry Christmas.

Again, thank you and God Bless you and your class.

V/r,

Counting by 10s

After learning that the Wamponaog tribe cut boats out of fallen trees called mishoons, we discussed whether a log that big would float.  We thought only light pieces of wood would float.  We found this pretty big piece of wood at recess and put it to the test:  It floated!
