Message from The Head Of School
Welcome back to a new school year! The teachers are refreshed and happy to be back, the children are full of smiles and glad to be busy again, and the office staff is joyful and ready for a new year. We have several new additions to our community—a new teacher (Mr. Joe); new carpet; new roof; new church offices; new classroom for Mrs. Roberts (Putnam City tutor); new deco of computer lab; new paint job.
A special thank you to all who helped clean this summer. We are still waiting for removal of the portable buildings, and then looking forward to making that area an outdoor classroom.
As many of you know, one of my favorite people is Mary Engelbreit. I have her sayings and I decorate with a lot of her treasures. Going through one of her magazines this summer I found the following article and now I want to share it with you.
Thank you,
Kaye Nelson, Head of School
