Parent News Update 2/8/2016


FIFTH GRADE NEWS AND COMMUNICATION
WEEK OF FEBRUARY 8-12,  2016

VALENTINE’S  DAY PARTY WILL BE THIS FRIDAY DURING/AFTER LUNCH.  Feel free to send capri suns, chips, fruit, or special snacks.  Students will likely have a great deal of candy in their valentine boxes as well.  They are welcome to create a fun box or simply bring a container to collect Valentines from classmates.  If your child participates, we ask that all friends receive a Valentine.  The complete class list is at the end of this note.

THANKS to all the generous donors and those who have procured for our auction.  It truly blesses your students.  I hope you can make it for a wonderful night together as well.

 We're  looking at our next service project!  The Other Bank helps people with personal hygiene items like toothbrushes and toilet paper which are not covered by food stamps or given out at food banks and clothing closets.  

BIBLE:   This week’s verse : Isaiah 40:26  We spent time today discussing our book and reading the following verses: Proverbs 24:11-12 and Micah 6:8.  We read through some Bible study questions and discussed them in regards to the expectations God has for his people in times of injustice and hard choices.  Your kids are amazing!
