Happy Easter to your amazing families. Blessed to be in a school where we can reflect on the meaning of the Empy Tomb!
We had a wonderful week! Thank you for attending our parent info meeting about Camp Highland. The prayer for our covenant families was powerful. Nathan, Henry and Iris were our teachers of Chinese culture as we met with our kindergarten partners. Iris read, Nathan and Henry showed the little ones how to use chopsticks as well as write in Chinese. The students are doing well with their Choice Book Puzzle piece projects and seem very excited about the upcoming Science CNNs.
