Dear Parents,
Today’s newsletter is the final one of the 2009-2010 school year. As we
look back over the school year we see the many blessings we have received
from God throughout the school year. He truly is a gracious God and we
praise and thank Him for all He has done for us. We say Thank You to
parents, students and teachers for all their work throughout the school
year. We also say a big THANK YOU to those members of our school staff
that make our school run so smoothly: Kay Buss, our secretary; Fritzie Ellis, Iris Hintz, and Darlene Scheideler, our teachers’ assistants; Jane Oeltjen, who serves our meals; and Walt, Terry, and
Jeannette Vitosh, our custodians. We are
truly blessed with a dedicated staff of workers. The group of people we
have that volunteer their time and talents is so large that we cannot mention
them all. We do thank each of you for those many hours you give to our
school.
The Concession Committee would like to say a big THANK YOU to all who helped
with the concession stand at Friday’s Field Day. We really appreciate
all the donations of food and all the time that was given preparing the food,
running the stand and cleaning up after. THANKS!!!
