March 17th Note

March 17, 2008

God’s Love in Action
Yesterday, Palm Sunday began the Holy Week with shouts of praise and worship to our Savior and Lord. As Holy Week continued those same lips that had sung Christ’s praises now began to deny, mock, and condemn the same Jesus they had worshiped. How often we fall into the same sins. We can thank the Lord that Jesus not only died to cancel all those sins, but then rose on Easter, giving us the confidence of eternal life. What a truly blessed and exciting time this is for us.


Calendar Notes
  • Friday, March 21st, marks the end of the 3rd Quarter.
  • The students will be going to a children’s Good Friday service at 2:00 pm on Friday, March 21st.
  • There will be no school March 24th to March 28th.
  • Spelling Bee is Saturday, March 12th. Two students will be chosen to represent Apostles from each grade. We will finish our classroom spelling competition on Wednesday this week.
  • Career Day is April 18th.

    Classroom Notes
  • The spelling list for the week is Unit 25, a review. The hymn is number 104, st. 1-3, “Go to Dark Gethsemane.”
  • Thanks to the students that helped out with Easter for Kids on Saturday.
  • Students decided to purchase a plaque engraved with all their names on it for winning Spirit Week. The plaque will cost more than the money allotted for purchasing the winning grade’s trophy. Each student should bring in $5.50 by Friday.
  • This week we will finish any graduation items. I will be sending a note home with each item that was decided later on this week. Class speaker will be decided after we return from Easter break in order to allow 3rd Quarter grades to be accounted for the Valedictorian.



    Have a blessed and enjoyable Easter,

    Mr. Fillner
