One Community Rooted in Faith
Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.
Colossians 2:6-7
Dear Parents,
Please help your student(s) remember if they are planning on attending any of the upcoming sporting events in support of the baseball, soccer, golf, or track and field teams to save their ticket stubs. IF their attendance is in good standing, they may bring the ticket stub with their name written on it to Mrs. Broome or Mrs. Hayes to have their absence marked as “School Related”.

We are excited about our food truck selection! Fire and Spice, Bad News BBQ, Bricks and Embers, Chick fil a, and Delightful Desserts will be available for the evening.
VERY IMPORTANT: so that we can be sure the food trucks have enough food for us, please use this link to give us a general idea of how many from your family will be in attendance: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/7X7ZK7C
