  2. The end of first quarter is near - less than two weeks left! If your student has not already finished two outside reading novels, be sure they are reading every night! Tests must reach 70% on our AR testing program to qualify in these last weeks.
     
  3. 7th and 8th graders have chosen their novel projects in connection with The Hobbit, our new Reading class novel. Students will be working on these mini-projects at home. I gave specific instructions to all students today. If you need any project supplies, please check with me.
     
  4. Due to our novel projects, I have reduced the required Powerpoint projects for each student from two to one for the year. I have notified your child of his new project date. I have asked the November and December project students to choose a topic by the end of this week. Please note the following students and project dates: Katy - Nov. 23rd* Rebecca - Nov. 23rd* Matthew - Dec. 14th Michael -Jan. 11th Christen -Jan. 12th Amanda -Feb. 8th

News for the Whole School

  1. Attention all families: there is an important open forum scheduled this Sunday, October 18th, at 1:00 p.m. to discuss the future of St. John's Lutheran School. You are all invited and encouraged to come to the opening segment of this meeting to share your thoughts. We would really like to have input from every family, so please make every effort to be at St. John's no later than 1:00 p.m. this Sunday.
     
  2. You should have received a Lifetouch picture order form. Picture Day is this Friday, October 16th. Please return any orders on Picture Day, not before.
     
  3. The Mackey family has generously volunteered to host this year's Reformation Party. If you enjoy fun, games, and prizes, this is the place for you! The costume party will be held Saturday afternoon, October 31st, from 2:00-4:00 at the Mackey's house, a very short distance from school. This should allow plenty of time to return home if you wish to trick-or-treat in your neighborhood. (The Mackeys also mentioned that you are welcome to trick-or-treat in their neighborhood if you wish.) Thank you in advance to the Mackey family!
     
  4. Included with your Wednesday note is a booklet from the Delaware State Legislative Hall tour our school took on October 2nd. It is a nice keepsake to remember our tour.
     
  5. Please take time to read the attached flier from a local gardening/ landscaping business in Bear. They are offering our school 10% of all their sales from this week through the end of this weekend. It is a generous offer that could benefit St. John's.
