Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.

Psalm 40

Halloween Parade - On Oct. 31, students may wear costumes to “scare away drugs” on our final day of celebrating Red Ribbon Week. No blood, scary masks, or weapons allowed. The students will participate in a costume parade as part of our party celebrations. Parents are welcome to attend. The parade is set to begin at 2:15. A big THANK YOU to all our parents who have volunteered to run the classroom parties.

Have a wonderful week!
