“Learning is not attained by chance.” – Abigail Adams

Important Information

This week the Third Grade will be leading chapel. The children are excited to share the good news from John 3:16. For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life.

Be on the lookout for the permission slip to our first field trip of the year. We are going to see The Wizard of Oz on Friday, April 21st.
