First Grade Friday News - September 6

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.

We need packets of seeds (flower or vegetable) for a Nature Club project.  It’s fine if they are expired or already opened packets.  Don’t send more than one packet per child.  We need these by September 11.  Thank you.
