Blog Update Tuesday February 18, 2014

I hope that you had a good two hour delay today.

Mr. Burgess Update
Mr. Burgess is back to school part-time.  We are so happy to have him here!  If you need to speak with him, please e-mail him to set up a time: eburgess@grcs.org.  Please keep praying for continued healing for him.

No RPS busing;
Tuesday, February 18 - No RPS busing; GRCS buses regular schedule.
Parents of students who ride RPS buses will need to drop off and pick up their students on those days. RPS is on mid-winter break. 

Family Time News
Ask your children about this Family Time. Mrs. Burgess and the second graders, reporters for the “Galilee Gazette,” told us about four of Jesus’s powerful miracles.

 Cinco de Mayo
The third graders will be practicing their Spanish at the Cinco de Mayo restaurant in Rockford this Wednesday, the 19th, and next Wednesday, the 26th.  They’ll be ordering their food in Spanish and also interviewing the waiters.  Each student has a question to ask the waiter such as, “What is your name?”  or “How long have you worked at Cinco de Mayo?”  they are eager to eat some great food together and to speak in Spanish!!

Conference Night Babysitting
Parents, do you need someone to watch your children while you attend Parent-Teacher Conferences this week Thursday, February 20?  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 3:45-8:00 on these Conference nights 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 support the 8th graders with a donation.  Sign in/out will be in the middle school hallway.  If you have any questions, feel free to contact Mrs. Oren (soren@grcs.org).  Thanks!

Art Club
Elementary students: Art Club this week, Tuesday, Feb. 18, at 3:30.

6th Grade Environmental Classroom
The 6th graders had a wonderful time at AuSable Institute learning about God’s creation with winter survival and groundwater classes.  They even took a praise walk while wearing snowshoes!

This week Wednesday they will be looking for animal  tracks on their GGA. On Friday they will be doing some fun Winter Olympic games at Camp Roger.
