Carry the Joy of Jesus: Make a Ripple

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.
Matthew 28:19-20

Saturday, April 30 Bonjour

Bonjour class.  Is everyone ready for New York?  This is just a reminder that the driver will not arrive until 10:45.  I will be at school about 10:15.  Seriously, if you get there at 10:30, that will be early.  I suspect we will not pull out until 11:00.  Remember to bring warm clothes and rain gear...and hand sanitizer.  If you or your parents have any questions, email or call me at any time.
Can't wait to see you and swap spring break stories,
Mrs. Buss

NYC parent meeting tonight at 7:00.

Thank you to all the parents who worked so hard to make the Euchre Party an extremely enjoyable evening. Unfortunately, because of the small number of people attending, the profits are small too. We will discuss the division of these profits at the NYC meeting, Thursday, April 14.

The eighth grade trip is the evening of Sunday, May 1 to the early morning of Thursday, May 5. Students will not attend school on the 5th; they will return to school Friday morning. I will hold a “mandatory” parent meeting for the eighth grade trip on Thursday, April 14. Every family should attend if possible, and every chaperone should attend, again, if possible. It will be at 7:00 P.M. in the eighth grade room and will last approximately one hour. I need to have the meeting sooner than later, so let me know if this date is a problem. I will have copies of the itinerary and more than you ever wanted to know about traveling to NYC with 17 eighth graders…and me!

Have a great week in the Lord,
