Lower School Families,

It is a joy and privilege to work with your children at Covenant Day. We are blessed with wonderful families, and it is exciting for us to partner with you in the training of your children. God will call these little ones into many different areas of service for His kingdom, and we want them to be well-equipped to act as salt and light wherever He directs them.

I wanted to let you know that we will continue to collect funds to donate to Haiti for a time, so there is still an opportunity to be involved. As a Lower School, we are committing to pray for the people of Haiti. In chapel this past week, our HS principal, Mr. Dillon, spoke to the LS students. Amid a couple of good stories, one thing he shared was how important it is for us to pray for that nation and its people. Please join us in this effort.

Thanks for allowing us to partner with your family!

PARENTS...

“Do you have a hidden talent that you wish to share with our 4th and 5th grade students? We are seeking Enrichment class teachers for the 4th quarter. Enrichment classes will meet on Wednesday afternoons from 1:00-1:55, and classes typically have 15 or fewer students.

We will have teachers facilitating classes, but we would also love to have parents involved to provide a breadth of opportunities for our students. Past offerings include physical activities such as karate and core stretching/strengthening, book clubs, a newspaper class, and more. There are a number of viable options, so please contact Mark Helmer if you would like to learn more.”

WE NEED YOUR HELP...

Please fill out a HOMEWORK TRACKING FORM during the second quarter of the school year.
