Crusader Chronicle
Thanksgiving 2021
Dear Crusader Families,
Great job to the 6th grade class who led us in the Thanksgiving Prayer Service today. The students in grades K-8 all took time to write what they were thankful for on a leaf, prior to the prayer service. As the students were walking in to the prayer service, the 6th grade students took the leaf and made a school tree with all of the leaves. Below is a picture of the 6th grade class and the Thanksgiving Blessings Tree.
Amazing work to all of the 5th-8th grade students who made Honor Roll for the First Trimester! Below are the students on Honor Roll.
I pray that everyone has a fun, safe, and relaxing Thanksgiving and Break.
As always, thank you for all you do to support the school.
Gratefully,
Sarah Bitzer
Principal

Help is Needed
Turkey Day is quickly approaching and we could use some help with several tasks - some of which don't require spending most of the day at the event.
For instance:
* Prepping turkeys the night before (good opportunity for service hours)
* Dropping off some breakfast items
* Dropping off some lunch items
* Helping clean up at the end of the day (good opportunity for service hours)

Lost and Found Items
Since the students all wear the same style of jackets, sweatshirts, etc., please take time write your child's name inside on the tag.
If you have any extra sweatshirts, jackets, that may have made it home on accident, please feel free to send them back into school. We have some friends who lost some items and cannot be found.
Please take time to look at the pictures below to see if any of the items look like your child's missing item(s).
