PRINCIPALLY SPEAKING: 
Progress reports are all finished and handed out to the students, even most parent teacher conferences are finished. All this communication can be a little stressful at times. What we as parents need to remember is that the Lord always has our best interests in mind and we have to think the same way. All children will not have a perfect progress report, but all children can use their God given talents to the best of their ability. Our goal as parents and educators is to assist our children in using their abilities to the fullest.

Thanks to all our coaches this fall for the time and effort they put into their sport so our student athletes could participate. 

Our coaches were:
Volleyball: Matt S., Pastor Hennig, Kim B.
Cross Country: Ed Taylor
Flag Football: Buddy N., Dan Henschen

We ask that God would continue to watch over our country and that His will could be done as new leadership takes over and God bless all of you as we enjoy all of these fall colors.

Dan Henschen
