Pet Show 'N Tell

You’re Invited to Pet Show ‘N Tell

What: In honor of National Animal Day on October 4^th, I’d like to welcome each student to bring in their favorite pet to say hello to the class.

When: We’ll be doing this during study hall at 2:30-2:55PM.

***Please be aware that while I’d love to have each pet here for the entire day, we do have some students with allergies so we are limiting the time to just the end of the day.

Where: Due to some students’ allergies we will be holding our Pet Show N Tell in the gym where there is plenty of space and pet hair will be a breeze to clean up.

How to Participate:

Please bring your student’s pet with you at 2:30pm. I will draw names to see who goes first.

I ask that you only bring one pet per student.

Please be sure that your student’s pet, in a cage (if it is a small creature) or on a leash (for dogs) and is able to be around children without biting or having high anxiety. We want to protect both the students and your sweet fur babies!

***We will also be inviting the younger classes to join us and see the animal cuteness.

We Won the Scripture Rock!

Great News! Last week Mrs. C's homeroom won the scripture rock (the coveted prize for reciting the class memory verse the best in Chapel)!  We recited Matthew 6:19-24 perfectly! We left our mark on it (painted it the color of blood at their request).

This morning we won the rock a second time! Mrs. C's homeroom students recited the first half of the Old Testament Books correctly along with the verse John 1:1.

Your students are very proud and you can be too. They are striving for their absolute best and seeing the fruit of their labor!
