Welcome Back

I hope the start of school has gone well for your families.


We have just done the basics in class and will start into all of our subjects full swing next week. Shops is tomorrow afternoon. The students will walk down to Nelson McIntyre as a group. They will be dismissed at 3:47. Please make arrangements with your child as to where you will meet them for pick-up. There will be a group of students walking back to school as they are in after school care. I will double check with the students tomorrow morning to make sure they know where you will meet them after they are dismissed from Shops.

Rally Sunday will be on Sunday, Sept. 9 at 10:00 a.m. at Beautiful Savior Lutheran School. A barbecue will follow that is hosted by Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church. Families are asked to bring a dessert for this function. I hope to see you there.
