What an amazing month of February we have had! We began the season of Lent and celebrated Valentine's Day. Our focus throughout this Lenten season has been to talk with the children about the sacrifice that Jesus gave dying on the cross and rising again for them because He loves and forgives them.

We are so blessed that we can share this message with the children daily as we all make mistakes and need to know that even though there are consequences for choices we make, God's love for us is never changing. He will always be there for each and everyone of us!

Blessings as you prepare to celebrate the risen Lord on Easter morning!

God's blessings,

Linda Dehn

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP WITH THE NEW TARDY PROCEDURES! Our tardies have decreased by 40%!

While some of these were necessary for doctor appointments or traffic situations, it is important for us to find a way that our staff can begin the day effectively with the children that are here on time providing the least disruption to the learning environment.

We also believe that teaching children to be on time is an important life skill that will be very valuable for them in the future.

Thank you so much for your cooperation with getting your child to school on time. If you have any questions, feel free to contact

Mrs. Dehn or Al Haines, BOCE Chair.

2) We have installed intercom speakers throughout the building including the gym and upgraded our bell system.

3) We are in the process of changing our doors to a secure FOB/keypad system.

4) We are in the process of putting a welcome desk in the lobby entrance to greet visitors/guests.

5) The church sanctuary is also getting a facelift. We are currently holding chapel in the Fellowship Hall.
