As was mentioned in devotions, one of the privileges and responsibilities of teaching in a Christian school is allowing children to see and understand how loved they our by God. Each child is uniquely gifted and blessed by our Creator. What a humbling and exciting role to be called by God to unpack those abilities and develop the gifts and skills each child is capable of.
World Renew
By engaging in the World Renew gift program, we can partner with our families to help children understand they too have been called to reach out in God's loving name and help others. As this weekend's blog will be the final one leading up to our short week next week, please let your parents know that we will be partnering with them to reach out to those in need as a South Side community. In order to raise money for the World Renew collection, let's encourage our parents to have children work special jobs and dig into their own piggy banks to give to the class collection. We will collect money for World Renew from December 1-December 12. By December 12, please give your classroom total to the office as well as how your students have decided to allocate the funds raised. We will have an all-school chapel time on Wednesday, December 17, during which we will formally give our gifts to World Renew. Please, if you have questions or ideas to make this even more meaningful, bring it to the table. This is a meaningful time for our children to help other children around the world.
Makers Week
Still considering this as a possibility? Can we briefly meet on Wednesday the 26th during afternoon recess to keep stirring the creativity pot? Or is that a tricky time as we're trying to wrap up before the Thanksgiving Break? I'll touch base with each of you next week. In the meantime, I've placed a few ideas on the table in the staff center. I don't recommend getting too close to that tall tower. Clearly, I'm not gifted in the realm of engineering!
