Dear Families,
We are now officially in the season of Fall!
Here is a prayer for you and family as we revel in the beauty around us.
God of all seasons, we thank you for Autumn.
We thank you
for the touch of coolness in the air that gives us a new burst of energy,
for the coloring of trees that shows the creativity of your hand,
for the falling leaves that reveal the strength of the branches,
for the hues of fields that bring peace to our souls,
for the smiles on pumpkins that bring joy to children,
for the fall harvest which that brings us gratitude for the bounty of our land,
for this change of seasons that reveals the circle of life.
God of all seasons, as you transform the earth, transform us by your Spirit.
Amen
We have had an unusual number of absentees this week but we are grateful that you are keeping your children home when they feeling ill. A notice came home this week outlining symptoms and when to get tested for COVID-19. We thank you for your help in keeping us all safe.
Yours In Christ,
Mrs. Maria Fonseca

Fitness-A-Thon – October 15th
Our first tally day is on Monday, Sept. 27th!
Please fill in, cut and send in the bottom of the pledge tally sheet so we can start tracking our progress! Last year, I told the students they could give me a makeover if we made our goal! I still need to unveil the winning look in the next few weeks!
This year if we reach our goal of $15,000.00 the whole school will get a movie afternoon, complete with popcorn and snacks! (That works out to $65.00 in pledges per child).
The funds will be used for renovations for our beloved school!
Uniform Update
If your child is still waiting for uniform pieces from Cambridge, please let your child’s teacher and the office know. We don’t want to mistakenly give a uniform infraction if it is out of your control.
Parent Evening- Save The Date
This year we are offering three free evenings for parents to listen to some information and engage in conversation with one another. Our first evening is on November 4th at 6:30 pm. At this time, it will be virtual but will update you in the event we can have it in person.
The topic for our first evening is Church At Home.
Mark your calendars!
