Spring Has Sprung...Or At Least Spring Break
No school next week. It's Spring Break! As I tell the kids, whether you travel across the hall, across the street, across town, or across the country, remember that God goes with you. Take a break from school, but don't take a break from Him. (After all, He's not!)

Choir Sings on Palm Sunday
The 3/4 grade choir is singing at Palm Sunday worship - that's this Sunday. You should have received two notes about it this week. Student should arrive at 10:10 to rehearse. The choir sings at the beginning of worship and then are welcome to sit with their parents. Students are also welcome to attend an earlier service, stay to sing, and then may leave when the choir is done.

Spring Program
The annual Spring Program is coming, and the third and fourth graders have all of the main parts. Honestly, I don't know too much about it, but after break Mrs. Ader will be working with the class (and I get to teach second grade!) a couple times a week. The performance date is Friday, April 18.

Culver's Night
Tuesday, March 25 - the Tuesday after Spring Break - is Immanuel Culver's Night. We try to have guest servers at each Culver's Night, and on the 25th the servers will be the Speed Stacking after school group. A sign-up form will come home on Monday, March 24. Kids are invited to work for 30 minutes taking trays to people in the restaurant. Any attendees may also have to opportunity to demonstrate Speed Stacking to the guests that night. Watch for more information after break. (And all participation is optional.)

End of the Third Quarter
After break there will be 9 days left in the 3rd quarter. We made a pretty clean break today, ending chapters and such, and will start fresh when we come back. Keep that in mind - 9 days! - to improve grades or keep them from slipping.
