June 2, 2008



Dear Parents,
We finally made it to the last week of school. It is hard to believe that we are here already. During the week, I am going to be sending things home. Please empty out the back pack so that none of the stuff piles up. I do not want anything to come back to school. Thank you.
This week we will be finishing all of our books. Many of the skills that we will practice have been practiced throughout the year. The only thing that will be new to the children the Bible lesson “Job.” From this lesson we will see how God tests the faith of Job, but keeps him faithful and in the end blesses him. There will be no new Bible verse for this week as we will be doing other things.
On Tuesday, we will have our final field trip. I want all parents to come and be in the classroom at 8:45 am. I would like to go over some simple rules with the children. I would also like to explain how we will proceed once we get to the zoo. Please be here so that it will go smoothly. All of the children should wear their Apostles yellow t-shirt. They should also pack a lunch. Each chaperone will be responsible for the lunches of the children in their car and will need to carry them in the zoo. Once we have finished eating, all items not eaten will be thrown away. I would like to leave the zoo at 2:00 pm. The traffic will be better if we leave at that time. Plus, as in years past, the children are just plain tired. Once we get back to school, you are free to take your child home. Any other children left in your car must check into homeroom.
On Thursday, we will have our simple graduation ceremony at 11:00 am. Please have your child come for a regular day of school. At 11:00, we will meet you in the fellowship hall. You are welcome to bring the grandparents or any other special people to the graduation. The ceremony only lasts about thirty minutes. After we are finished, you are free to take your child home. Any children left here at school will be checked into homeroom.
I believe that is all for this week. In closing, I would like to let you know how much I have enjoyed working with your child. You have been supportive parents and I feel that we have had a good year. May God go with you and bless you as you journey through the school years.
