This shot was taken before Christmas vacation, but I really like it. The children play games with this colorful parachute while under the direction of Miss Colleen.

Staff and Children
These are the people who made it happen. My wife, Connie on the left and Colleen Keith on the right helped with getting the costumes changed and crowd control. Colleen also helped with the spotlight and Connie made some of the costumes for us. Cindy Kesler and Stephanie Garibaldi are the teachers of the two classes who participated in the program and worked very hard in all our practices.

Parents:
Don't forget that we have TWO showing of our Christmas program. One on Friday night @ 7:00 p.m. Students should be at the church at 6:30 p.m. Then we will be doing the program once more on Sunday morning, Dec. 19 @ 9:30 a.m. Students should be at the church at 9:00 a.m. We think you are really going to enjoy the children's program this year.
Also, we are asking students to come dressed as they will for the performances on Friday during school. We will be filming the dress rehearsal and need it to look at authentic as possible.
We'll be looking for you. Make sure you invite friends and family to the program.

Parental Notice - Christmas Day Care
Grace Christian Schools
Dear Parents,
Last week we polled you on Day Care during Christmas Vacation. Only two parents indicated they would be using day care at this time. Unfortunately, we cannot afford to stay open for only two students, so we will not be open at all during the vacation time.
We wanted to give you ample notice so you could get someone to watch your children during the vacation period.
We regret any inconvenience this may cause you.
Sincerely,
Pastor Bob Rockhill

Parents,
You should be receiving a flyer tonight with your child regarding our Pottery Field Trip next Wednesday, Dec. 1st. Each student should bring $15.00 for the event which will cover the cost of the clay, 2 firings in the kiln, glaze, return of project to the school and an exciting assembly for the students. Please start bringing in the $15.00 fee on Monday. This is considered a field trip as it is an educational experience in the arts that most of the students have never witnessed before. Students may wish to bring a large t-shirt to use as an art smock. The process isn't that messy, but if they touch their clothes while working on the potter's wheel, they will get themselves dirty.

I thought some parents might like to know what's happening with some of our alumni from last year.
Alan Twing came by church last week to say hi. He's signed up for the Navy and will be heading out, I believe he said, in 6 months for boot camp.
Robert Fernandez and Anthony Badami are both in Graphic Design schools working on Macs and loving their classes so far.
Robert Wainwright is attending a school of broadcasting.
David Sotello came by the other day. He was working at UPS, but recently got a new job and I can't remember where...maybe Home Depot? The memory is going...

Announcement: High School Parents
Some of you were asking at conferences about the literature class. Each jr. & sr. high student has been assigned a book to read. They are to read through at least the first chapter by Monday, November 22, and turn in a summary of that chapter.
Hope that helps. They will be doing a chapter by chapter summary to ensure they are keeping up on the book and that they actually read the entire book. (Some didn't last time) Obviously, they are going to have to do a few chapters a week to keep up.
Also, some students have not taken advantage of extra credit assignments and projects offered to them. Parents were surprised by that. I offered several Extra Credit assignments the first quarter on the Presidential Election that covered history and English. You might want to tell your son or daughter that you want them to do the extra credit if they are struggling.

Today we enter day two of our Parent/Teacher Conferences. We had a good day spending time with parents, talking about the success stories of their children and helping to fine tune any problems we may be having. Overall, things are looking very good at Grace and we thank you for your support.
We have received the highest rating by Alpha Omega for our school. This not only makes us happy, but should make you feel happy to know our school is keeping high standards for each child. We have had two students move away, so we have a place for a couple of new students. If you know someone who you think would do well at our school, please have them contact us and we'd be glad to work with them - Pastor Bob
