Good Morning! I hope everyone enjoyed a restful weekend and set their clocks ahead.
Parent Teacher interviews are this week. Please make sure you sign up on the bulletin board outside the office.

On March 17 the students will be attending a Team Building Retreat at Beautiful Saviour Lutheran Church. The students will leave after chapel time at the school. Transportation will be provided. They are to bring a bag lunch with them as they will not be leaving the church to get food. If you would like to pick up your child from the church at the end of the day, please let myself or the school know and that can be arranged. They students will be transported back to the school at the end of the day for dismissal.
