Newsletter: Week 22 of 37

My girls enjoying the East PDX snow!

February 22 - 23, 2018

   Well, it looks like we'll have an even shorter week than expected, due to the Wednesday snow day! We will try to use class time to finish filming our chapel skits, and we are looking forward to leading chapel next Wednesday. Hopefully many parents are able to come watch in person, but it will also be made available on YouTube for those who are unable to come. Make it a great week, everyone!

Person of the Week

Frosty the Snowman!

Topics to Talk About at Home

Please talk about what the students are learning from their chapel skits. What is their group's memory verse? What does it have to do with their skit? What is the storyline for the skit? How do you think God might speak to the 3rd and 4th graders through the skits?
