Mrs.Folkerts Grade 1 Adventures in Primary 

Our High School Missions team is preparing for a trip to the Philippines on March break. They are fundraising to put in a water filter in the village they are visiting.

A bulletin board has been set up in front of the office showing 600 cups of dirty water. Each donation of $10 will change a dirty glass of water into a clean glass of water. $10 donations can be made at the office or in the classrooms.

They are also looking to collect 150 hand-sized stuffies to hand out to the children. Stuffies can be brought into the classrooms for donation.

Thank you for partnering with us!

1 John 4: 7-10 (NIV)

Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

Tomorrow, Friday, January 12th, the foods class will be preparing a veggie soup made from veggies harvested and frozen from our own Highroad Garden. Each student will receive a small bowl of soup for lunch. It will not be enough for their whole lunch and just in case veggie soup is not a big hit, best to send along a regular lunch.
