Psalms 69:30

I will praise God’s name in song and glorify him with thanksgiving.

Real world objects provide lots of teachable moments! In learning about fall, our students explored pumpkins last month. They weighed them, they measured their height, they did sink/float experiments with them, they drew still life art of them, they observed the inside of them, they learned what color they were, they learned about the life cycle of pumpkins-the list goes on and on!

We are truly grateful for being able to be a part of your children's lives.

Sincerely,

Erika Hemphill

Director

In order for us to have school safely, anyone with symptoms of any illness must remain at home (fever, vomiting, diarrhea, etc.). Please monitor your child's health and the persons in your student's household to ensure that measles, strep, RSV, flu, COVID, and other illnesses are not introduced into our buildings. Vaccines are free or low cost through the Dallas County Health Dept. and are the most effective way to prevent the spread of illness. Please take advantage of available resources and follow the guidance of the local health departments and the CDC to ensure the health and safety of your family and our school.
