First Day Poem


I have this poem available for parents on the first day of school.  I attach a small tissue to the corner of the page.  Parents remember this poem for years to come!

Technology Tip Tuesday!


We are a small private school so we have to use our funding wisely.  We invested in Mimio Technology.  The wand on the left converts your whiteboard into an interactive surface.  The students use the pad on the right to manipulate what is projected on the board.  The students LOVE it!

For me personally, I LOVE my Iphone! : )  I am directionally challenged and it has helped me find my way numerous times!

Welcome 2012-13 Kindergartners!

Spouting Over With Gratitude!

This year our theme verse comes from Colossians 2:6-7

"So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness (spouting over with gratitude)."
