PRINCIPALLY SPEAKING: “Growing in Christ through Worship” is our theme for this year. What a great time of the year to emphasize that with our children. With Easter, confirmation, and other events we can make worship a center of family life. “Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. Psalms 100:4
     Please take time to fill out the attached form to let us know what your intentions are for next school year. Return the form to the school office. Classes are getting full so we need to know enrollment in each grade so we do not have to many students in a class and also so we can order the correct amount of textbooks and supplies for next year. 
     God bless you all as we work together to teach His children.
