Message to Lower School From Mrs. Matthis


Dear Lower School Parents,

Merry Christmas!

The Lower School had a wonderful time today at the movies.  The students were so very well behaved and enjoyed every minute of our outing.  I truly appreciate Joy Usher planning this event.  She wanted to be sure that our Lower School students were rewarded for their enthusiasm and participation with our new reading program “Building a School of Readers”.  Please encourage your child to read over the Christmas holidays and let’s put reading as a top priority for the year 2012.

I am pleased to announce that our Food and Toy drive went very well!  We collected over 350 food items and over 150 toys.  It was my pleasure on Saturday, December 10, to participate in the distribution of these toys and food to families in our area in desperate need.  As shown in the attached picture, toys for each family were carefully selected, wrapped and placed in large gift bags.  Bags of food were also distributed.  I was able to meet and see first hand the families who received our gifts.  I can assure you, the food and toys were needed.  Thank you for all you do to raise your children in a Christ like manner.  We see the results of this every day.  We are truly blessed at Christmas to reflect on each and every precious child that we teach.
May God bless your family this Christmas.

Mrs. Matthis
