PGMTT
Parents, grandparents, and friends,
Thank you so much for packing out chapel last Friday for our PGMTT launch! Our eighth grade class was amazed at the enthusiastic support of the audience. Children and adults took cups ready to partner with God to alleviate suffering. Are you remembering to say, "Please give mine to them?"
 
We do want you to know that we will not be collecting money in chapel each week for any kind of a contest. Instead, each teacher will guide her class in deciding how and where to give their money for this month. Watch class newsletters for instructions. After this month is over, children will carry out the PGMTT mission by finding a way to personally give to the cause of their choice at home, church, in the community, or online.
 
Please take time to visit our PGMTT YouTube channel and website. "Like" us and "share" us! Leave comments and testimonies. Spread the news!
    
THANK YOU
A huge THANK YOU to Kraig Klingsheim and Dale Coleman for spending yet another Saturday at the school, this time to replace a burst hot water heater. Thank you for coming to our rescue . . . again!
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Application deadline is April 14.
MEDIA DISCLAIMER
Parents, please review our social media pages and website often. Let us know if there are any photos you would like us to remove.  We do our best to adhere to the few privacy requests that we have, but as our enrollment and media presence grow, and we ask for participation by parents, it becomes difficult to check each photo. We never post names of students unless a parent requests us to do so in relation to a post. Any requests for removal of photos will be addressed immediately. We thank you for participating and sending in your awesome pictures. Please keep them coming!
