First Grade Friday News - September 20

Chapel offerings for the first few weeks will go to support Lisbeth, our Compassion International student in Guatemala.  Our offerings will help Lisbeth’s family with food, clothing, and education expenses.  Chapel offering envelopes are sent home each Tuesday.  Look for them on the homework side of the folder.

Your children will experience a different routine this week.  I am flying to Austin on Monday afternoon to help my daughter.  She will be having a c-section on Tuesday.  This was unexpected and a bit early.  She will need some help after surgery with new baby and my precious two-year-old granddaughter.  Please pray for healthy mom and healthy baby.  I’ll be back in the classroom on Tuesday, Oct. 1.  Mrs. Pat Dierks will be substituting in the mornings and Mrs. McNabb will have the whole group each afternoon.  There will be no First Grade Friday News on Sept. 27.  Please direct any questions to Mrs. McNabb.

Mrs. McNabb would like each student to bring one apple, washed, not sliced, in a Ziploc bag on Thursday.  It can be any variety.

To maintain the safety of our families and to allow the plumbing crew to work in the gym (south) parking lot, the gym parking lot will be closed to all traffic beginning Monday, September 16. Please use the church (north) parking lot for morning drop off and afternoon pick up. In the morning, drop off under the brick walkway. Preschool families, please park in the lot and use the walkway entrance. In the afternoon, please veer to your left and park in the same manner as  in the other parking lot. We will use the church parking lot until the exterior plumbing project is complete. Thank you!

          Please avoid peanuts, tree nuts, and peanut butter when sending treats for the whole class.  We have some allergies in our group.
