Give Us Today our Daily Bread
I think all of you would agree that it
is important to be consistent in many areas of life. One of the important areas
of life is in diet. For a person to grow in a normal fashion, that person needs
to be fed a regular diet with a variety of foods. Scientists would tell us to
eat a diet with an emphasis on vegetables and fruits, with proper amounts of
proteins and even fats. They would probably agree that a good mixture of all
food groups, everything in moderation, would be a healthy diet. Jesus taught us
to pray for our daily bread, those things we need to live a healthy existence
on this earth.
The most important part of our diet is
what we feed our soul. For our soul to be healthy, we need to be fed a regular
diet of God’s Holy Word, with a generous portion of meditation on, and
discussion of, that Word with fellow believers. You will want to add a generous
portion of worship and spend time talking with your Lord and Savior in prayer.
If your soul has been underfed, now is the time to change that. Fill up with
those good things and share it with those around you.
Comfort for the Mourning
As a school family, we mourn with the
Matt & Sarah Klebs family at the loss of their son last weekend. At the
same time we rejoice in the sure hope from our Savior, “He lives!” There will
be a service held this Friday at 5:00P.M. at Trinity Presbyterian Church on
Loraine Street just off of Huffman Road. Because of the service, we will have
aftercare on Friday only until 4:00 P.M.
The family has requested school
children, who are available, to sing at the service. We will be practicing
during the week. If any child needs a ride, let us know.
Chapel Service
Chapel services during the school year
will be held on Thursdays at 8:30am and all are welcomed and invited to
attend.

Emergency
Contacts
Parents
please log in to your Educate account and review your contact information as
well as your alert preferences. Alert
preferences let us know how you would like to be contacted for school closings,
general communications and school emergencies.
Once logged in, select the pull down menu by your name, select account
then alert preferences.
If you did not previously have access
to Educate, you should have received an email today with instructions on how to
set it up.
If
you are having trouble logging in, please contact the office.
Emergency Preparedness
Every
year at this time we review our plan for emergency situations at our school. If
an emergency such as an earthquake or other disaster would occur, plans and
material supplies are in place to provide for the safety and security of our
students, as well as first aid and extended care in the event that students
cannot be immediately picked up by their parents.
In
order to help us in this, we ask each family to prepare a small “comfort kit”
for your child, with small items to provide comfort and to help keep them
occupied and calm in an emergency situation. We sent home a small ziplock bag
last week. Pack your child’s comfort kit with a card containing your child’s
name and contact information and other small items for your child’s
comfort. Suggestions include a
non-perishable snack (like a granola bar), a pair of knit gloves, a family
picture, a small toy, and a letter to your child.
Comfort
kits can be brought to your child’s teacher at any time, and will be returned
at the end of the school year.

Bible Information Class
A child’s Christian education is only
as good as the cooperation between parents and teachers. To this end, we feel strongly that all
parents need to hear our fundamental beliefs and understand the basic doctrines
that all of our school children are taught.
Therefore, we invite parents of school children to attend Pastor Ewings’
“Making Life Better Class”. This class is an extensive review of the basic
doctrines taught in the Bible and, therefore, in this school. Parents who
complete the class will receive a $500 discount on their child’s tuition for
each of three years after completing the class.
Labor Day
Labor
Day is September 4th, there will be no school.
