Director Notes
It's our last week. Mom's you did it! Give thanks to God for helping us every single step of the way this year!
"Nothing you do for children is ever wasted. They seem not to notice us, hovering, averting our eyes, and they seldom offer thanks, but what we do for them is never wasted". Garrison Keillor
"A happy family is an earlier heaven". George Bernard Shaw
For Week 24:
Keep practicing Exodus at home as well as the specific memory work your kids will be presenting.
We will meet in the Fellowship hall for opening ceremonies and then we will all walk to the sanctuary together to practice. We are not allowed on the alter at all. We will do the ceremony right in front of the alter. I will remind us all on Tuesday to stay away from the alter.
I need a couple of moms to help set up for the potluck around 11:30. We will keep lunch at 12:00.

Year Book Committee
Open Houses and Informational Meetings
Our next Open House is Tuesday, April 5th from 9:30 am to 3:00 pm.
We will have an Information Meeting from 10:30 to 11:30 am. I highly encourage visitors to stay for the Information Meeting so they can understand the "why" behind what they observe that morning. If they just attend the Open House and do not go to an Information Meeting then they may not understand the philosophy of Classical Education and Classical Conversations. Also let them know they can bring lunch and eat with us that day.
Children are welcome at the Open House! I will have enough art and science supplies ready. If you have friends that are planning to attend the Open House please let me know how many children to prepare for. I don't want to run out of Art Supplies for them.
