Dear Parents,
Well the warm weather is here today, let’s hope it stays. I know we were all surprised by
last week’s snow showers! So much is happening over the next few weeks. First of which
is our Annual Spelling Bee this coming Friday. Volunteers are still needed. Our spring musical “Psalms of David” will be performed for one night only. Because we have made it only
one night, there could be a chance that seats could be sold out. You can call the school
office to have your tickets reserved for you at the door. Tickets will be sold at the door at
a first come basis on the night of the show. Mr. Vann still needs 3-4 men to help put the
stage together. (Each man helping will get a complimentary ticket!!) This is our first
attempt at doing a bigger production. Let’s make it a success by bringing our friends and
relatives. Perhaps that neighbor who doesn’t know Christ? God can do amazing things with
the unexpected.
God Bless You,
Kevin Barry

Penny “Coin” Wars
Each class will have a collection jug, and students
are encouraged to bring in their pennies, nickels,
dimes, quarters or in other words their spare
change.
The object of the game is simple. Whoever has the
most money at the end of the contest wins. But, of
course, there is a catch to this game. All coins count
for the team, but all paper money in the jar is
SUBTRACTED from that team's total. So what you
have is sabotage, and lots of it. Classes will load up
their own jar with coins, and everyone else's jars
with $1, $5, $10, and $20.
The class with the most “change” will win a party
at the end of the month. (Type of party will be
announced soon)
22 High School Prom
The money will be counted and collected every
Thursday and results as to who is winning will be
posted on office window Friday morning.
