Conference/Convention Week!

Parent Teacher Conferences are a big ask of teachers. It takes a LOT of energy and stamina to pour your heart into parent conversations DOZENS of times over a short period. HOWEVER! I believe you have been brought into your children's lives for exactly this time in their journey. You are their entrusted partner. These conversations truly are celebrations of this important relationship. Many of them will remember YOU for the rest of their lives! Thank you for preparing for these conferences and I pray God grants you the energy you need to share you heart, skill, hopes and partnership next week. 

Orchestra Concert

On Monday, October 17 our 8th Grade orchestra musicians would like to treat us to a brief concert. We don't have a day clear of any and all encore anymore so we're scheduling the concert on Monday afternoon the 17th! Let's do recess from 1:35-1:50. The concert will begin in the WELL at 2:00. This interrupts first grade encore time/planning time. Encore teachers who have first grade students on the afternoon of the 17th, would you be willing to take the first graders to the concert for the start? I want to try to honor the first grade planning time and collaboration efforts while allowing all of the students the joy of the concert! 

Missing Lunch??

If you are going on a field trip over lunch or if your class will be missing lunch for any reason please email Linda at bunklin3@yahoo.com She'll need to make note of the missing class. THANK YOU! 

Grandparents Day Parking

New parking arrangement for the 27th. Please park at Rose Park Baptist, which is the church to the NORTH (near the barn) rather than the church parking lot to the south.
