I
hope that you had a great weekend!
Thank
you for coming, puppeteers!
We
had puppeteers come from Hudsonville Christian last Friday. They had a wonderful performance.
Parent/Teacher
Conferences - February 21 & 26
Parent
Teacher Conferences schedules were sent home. Did you see yours? If you
have not, please contact the office.
Middle school conferences are not scheduled. However, the MS teachers will be available in
the Worship Center for a 7-minute conference from 4-8 PM.
Conference
Babysitting
Parents,
do you need someone to watch your children while you attend parent teacher
conferences on Thursday, February 21, or Tuesday, February 26? If so, you have
a fun and friendly option to choose right here at school! 8th graders will be
offering their babysitting services, complete with activities planned, from 4-8
p.m. on conference days in order to raise money for their class trip to
Mackinaw City in May. Take advantage of this convenient and entertaining (or
educational, if your child needs to get some homework done!) opportunity, and
help to support the 8th graders with a donation. Sign in/out will be in the
band/choir room. If you have questions, feel free to contact Mrs. Oren.
Learning
Commons News
The
Kindergarteners started classes in the computer lab last week! They
learned some technology vocabulary and created pictures using the digital
drawing tools in Kid Pix. Keyboarding is a life-long skill; ask your
third or fourth grader about his or her progress in typing this
year. The fifth graders are currently practicing their keyboarding skills
twice a week. The website we use is Typing
Web. The students are encouraged to practice at home as well.
TRIP
news
Keep
up on TRIP news in the school home bulletin!!!
P.E.
News
The
kids to 3rd-8th graders will be spending several weeks playing
volleyball. The younger students will be working on various motor skills,

overhand skills.
6th
Grade Environmental News
The
6th grade Environmental Classroom students had a terrific time up at
AuSable Institute of Environmental Studies located near Kalkaska last week
Wednesday-Friday. They learned about
winter survival and water quality.
Besides classroom experiences, they had time to go cross-country skiing,
snowshoeing, and broomball along with being outside in God’s creation!!!
Congratulations
to the sixth graders on defeating the grownups in broomball. It’s never been
done before! Ben Redfield scored the winning goal.
Did
You Know??????
That
the sixth grade Environmental Classroom has a weather station that tells the
temperature, wind speed, wind chill, barometric pressure, and many more things
that are happening outside? The weather station will give us up-to-the-minute
weather information so the kids won’t have to go outside for recess when the
wind chill is below zero. Be sure to
watch for the weather information displayed on the monitors each day. Thanks, Mr. VerMerris, and the rest of the EC
students!!!!!!
Family
Time:
