Mealtime Prayer

Practice our new prayer at mealtime.

"For mother's love
and father's care
For food to eat
and clothes to wear
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
in less than ten minutes I think.

Love,
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

• Warren County A&L Fair: September 8-15 (sign up sheets by Mrs. Earline's office)

• Little Cesar Pizza Sales Fundraiser: date TBA; Earn parent hour (1) for selling more than 3 kits. Opportunity to earn parent hours by helping unload and separate orders when they arrive.
• Christmas Float: P.A.T. organized; dates TBA; Earn parent hours for work on Christmas float.

• Class party planner: Earn up to 1 hour for planning your child's classroom party (i.e. Halloween, Christmas, Valentines, and Easter). You DO NOT get parent hours for coming and enjoying party with your child. You MUST be the planner to receive hours. Your child's birthday party DOES NOT count toward parent hours.

There may be other opportunities to earn parent hours that are not listed, but thought it would be beneficial to see some of our main events. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me regarding status of parent hours through your child's teacher.
