First National Bank Singing & Christmas Parade

We are so proud of the 1st grade and Kind. classes who sang at the bank Friday. What an awesome job you did. WAY TO GO!

Thanks to all of the parents who helped decorate the school float. The float was a success. It was wonderful as we were walking by to here people say how they loved the float. The kids were great they were smiling, waving and wishing everyone a Merry Christmas.

Field Trip and Thanksgiving Play

We have been so busy! We went last Friday to The Princess and the Pea play and then McDonald's afterwards. We had so much fun.

Our 1st grade class performed a short play on Wednesday during Chapel. The play was Dreams of Thanksgiving. ALL of the children did so well memorizing their lines. We learned that the most important thing about Thanksgiving was not the food, but about giving thanks to GOD. Jonie was the mother, Carlton was the child, Leslie was the turkey, Jaren was the yam, Megan was the apple and Emma was the pumpkin. It was very nice to see all of the 1st grade parents at Chapel.

For home and school
and friends who share
We thank you Lord."


Love,
Mrs. Mildred

Homework

Do one or two homework sheets
as quick as a first grade wink.
Then read your short books

Mrs. Mildred

See You At The Pole

See you at the Pole isn't groups, grades, clothes or churches. It's about praying. It's about all of us coming together and laying aside all the labels for one day simply to call out to God, just as Jesus did in John 17 and say, "Lord may we be one in you--whether jocks, preps, geeks, Pentacostals, Baptists, Catholics, one-year-olds or 4th graders--may the world believe that You are real and have sent us to touch others through You, regardless of the dividing lines drawn by a broken world!"

So are you in? Are you ready for whatever group you're in to join us in the circle?

Join your generation of faith on WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26 at 8:00am, Gather in the front parking lot, Unite in the name of the One Who died to save you, and Pray for our school, friends, and families.
COME TOGETHER, just as Jesus prayed we would.

Covenant Academy will be ordering "See You at the Pole" shirts, these shirts may be worn on September 26, 2007.

Last day to order: August 31, 2007

You may give your order to your child's teacher or to Ms. Earline.

Thank You,
Ms. Earline
