3rd Annual Holiday Vendor & Craft Fair Registration Is Open to All!
We are excited to announce our 3rd Annual Holiday Vendor & Craft Fair scheduled for Saturday, December 14, 2019. Last year we had over 60 vendors and crafters, and the show was a hit! The assortment of vendors and crafters as well as the number of shoppers who came made the show a fun and exciting time for all! This year we want to grow the number and variety of vendors, and we'd love to have our CLS families help! If you are interested in participating by having a booth to sell merchandise, please email Narvis Penix at npeni@clschools.org.
 
Cash Payments
When making cash payments (spirit wear, field trips, etc.) in the offices, please send the exact amount. The offices do not have change. Also, please make sure that any checks made out to CLS are the correct amount as we are not able to make change. Thanks for your help!

CLServes with the November Food Drive ~ November 4-15
Christian Life elementary students are joining efforts with the Rockford Rescue Mission to make a difference and show our community that #CLServes! From November 4th-15th, we will be collecting nonperishable Thanksgiving food items for the Rockford Rescue Mission. These donated items may be placed in the bins located in the Elementary Lobby. Thank you in advance for helping us serve those who deserve a warm meal this holiday! Items needed are:
Instant Mashed Potatoes             Canned Green Beans        Canned Corn
Canned Cranberry Sauce             Gravy Mix                       Stuffing Mix
Garlic Powder                            Garlic                             Seasoned Salt
Pepper                                     Coffee
 
Dress Warm
If it is not raining and the temperature is above 15 degrees (taking wind chill into account), students WILL be outside for recess. Students should be prepared for recess with warm coats, hats and gloves each day. Because it is important to us that your child does not lose track of these cold weather essentials, please label all articles of clothing.
 
Cold and Flu Season
A few things to remember as we head into cold and flu season...
First, if your child is sick or not feeling well, please keep them home. Although your child initially may not have a fever or easily identifiable illness, for the well-being of your child as well other students, please keep him/her home. Second, if your child is going to be absent, please remember to call the office (even if you e-mail the teacher). Last, if your child is out for 3 or more days, upon their return please be sure to send a note from their doctor stating why they were out. Thank you.
