Mission Carnival – Many thanks to all the parents who helped with the Mission Carnival last Friday. Thanks also to the parents who sent in the goodies.

We brought in $937.00 for our first Mission Carnival! Super job! The amount will be divided between Holy Childhood Association for the Missions and Kelsey’s Foundation.

Again, thank you, parents, for attending these Class Meetings in the evenings. We are so blessed to have you as a part of our school family. Thank you for all you continue to do for us! 

Blessing to you and your family,
