Blog Update Tuesday April 1, 2014




I hope that you had a great weekend!!!  My internet connection was not cooperating last night, so that’s why my blog is a day late.  Sorry!



Our Father's World

We have been able to work out the details with Reds on the River in downtown Rockford to hold our tuition assistance fundraising event.  We look forward to it!  It will be held on Monday evening, April 28, at 6:00 p.m. Invitations and more information will be coming your way soon.  (Seating is limited at Reds, so please RSVP early.)



Lost & Found

items have been placed on tables in the front lobby. Please take a look to see if any of these items belong to you. Those items left by Spring Break (April 4) will be donated to New 2 You.



Please Remember to Update Your Email Address   

Because more and more school communication is sent via email, it is important that we have your updated email addresses in our system. If you or your spouse change your email address, please notify us at school so that we can make the change, system-wide. Thank you.



Overdue Books

Do your spring cleaning before spring break and look for overdue library books. Please ask your student if they have overdue books and remind them to return the books to the library ASAP. If they have a question about their overdue books or think they have already returned them, please talk to either Mrs. Ruiter or Mrs. McGinnis in the library. Thanks!
