As snowy weather approaches, I have some news regarding snow day or emergency closings. We have found a company that will provide us with a service to notify families via email, phone, and text messages. We will be sending a form home for you to provide us with contact information. This should eliminate questions and doubts, and expedite the notification process. Special thanks to Home and School for agreeing to pay for this service.

Order forms may be turned in to the school office of placed on line as www.marketday.com Order pickup is Saturday, December 8th from 9 – 10 a.m. in the gym.

Warm up your ovens, be creative and bake your favorite fancy, decorated Christmas cookies to donate for our sale.

Winter is coming and that means snow! We need lots of volunteers for snow removal around the church. Please call Amy Happ at 279-3553 to put your name on the list. The more people that volunteer, the easier the job. Thank you!
