Veteran's Day Prayer Service
A message from our principal
Thursday, November 23, we celebrate Thanksgiving in the United States, a holiday devoted to feasting and remembrance. In days past, when all were connected more closely to the production of our food, the blessings of a good harvest were likely more prominent in the list of gifts for which thanksgiving was offered. We still depend on those harvests for our food, but we may not appreciate the struggles of hardworking people to grow and produce our food and the everyday miracles that make that growth possible.
God has made a generous provision for us: “God is faithful, and by him you were called into fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.” Let us respond not only with thanksgiving and a joyous heart, but also with generosity in mercy for others. Thanks be to God.
Peace in Christ,
Dr. John Shreve

Dad's Club News
The Fall edition of the Dad’s Club Bowling Night will be next Thursday, November 16th at 6:30PM at the Cityview Lanes, located at 6601 Oakmont Blvd, Fort Worth, TX 76132. We had a lot of fun last spring, and if you didn't make it, you missed out. We need some good bowlers who can unseat Matt Hoffacker as champion (two in a row). If you are planning to bowl or have questions, please reply to this email so we can get a good head count and reserve enough lanes and food. We have four lanes reserved as of now.
School Chores Day- We have a list of things to accomplish at the school. We also have to clean our grill (had a couple volunteers from fall festival!). Our next Chores weekend will be Saturday, November 18th from 9AM until noon (or sooner). Please let me know if you can help out.
