Principally Speaking:
I love to watch the History Channel when it really is portraying some part of history, especially some of the wars or seeing what some early explorers had to endure. History is really intriguing and can easily lead to the question: What is the most important event in history? That could probably spark quite a debate among historians, but I think God settled that some 2000 years ago. If Christ had not died on the cross and had not risen three days later, all the rest of history would have been meaningless.
"And if Christ has not been raised up, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins."
1 Corinthians 15: 17
This Good Friday and Easter let us all take the time and remember that His death and resurrection is a real part of history. We also need to make it real for our children.
HAPPY EASTER

The next "Charger" will be sent home with our students April 16. If you would like to post something in our newsletter, articles need to be in by the Wednesday before they go home to allow time for them to be typed and printed. For more information, please call Lora at 529-3307.April Chapel Offerings

Tardy Policy: After 3 tardies in one quarter, a child’s guardian will receive a warning notice or phone call. Upon receiving the 4th tardy, the child will stay after school on the next Thursday from 3:30-4:00 doing a grade appropriate writing activity in silence in the classroom assigned for tardy duty. A child will serve a tardy detention for each successive tardy after the 4th until the end of the quarter. At 4:00 the child will be delivered to extended care where the child may be picked up for the day. Extended care fees will be charged for all children serving the tardy detention. At the end of each quarter the number of tardies previously accumulated will be erased, and the student will start over. Do not forget, if your child is getting to school late, they need to go through the office and get a clip for their teacher.
Anytime you have a question please do not hesitate to call the office. -Thank you, Sharon & Lora
