Bah Bye January

January 2017 is in the books! Assessments, report cards, presidential inaugurations, 100s day and Discovery Night is behind us. February is upon us! Valentine's, chocolate, enrollment, more snow and even more snow! It's amazing to watch as these benchmark events in the school calendar come and go. Thank you for bringing so much energy, creativity, integrity and LOVE to you students day in and day out! What a JOY to see them growing, taking on new challenges, asking good questions and seeking answers. You efforts and taking hold and your learners are GROWING!

Chris Rosencrans

Speaking of love, we announced in staff devotions on Wednesday that Chris will be following God's call to serve Him in a new role after this school year. This will be the last school year she will be the spectacular physical education teacher for our young ones! Our students are so known and loved by her. She runs her class with such integrity, structure and JOY! Chris, you will be so missed at South Side next year...but we respect your desire and discernment to listen to God's voice in directing your life. 

Skating Party

Please make note in your blog that we will have our Parent Team sponsored skating party on February 8 from 6:00-8:00. 

Enrollment

Tis the season. Thank you for taking time out of your own evening to spend time getting to know many prospective parents at Discovery Night on Tuesday evening. Would you join me, please, in praying that God would nudge at the hearts of many families to join our efforts at Holland Christian in growing young people to know God and become equipped to share in His work of bringing God's kingdom here on earth today? Kindergarten enrollment begins next week! 

Staff Meeting

Please remember that we will have a staff meeting over the lunch hour on Thursday, February 9. We will cover subjects such as Makers Week, SPARK and a special request from CEA/CSI. 

Parent/Teacher Conference

The schedule is out! Pulling together all of the feedback generated from the form you completed (thank you) and considering there is a big HC student band concert on Tuesday, March 28 that will affect both staff and parents, our conferences will be Monday, 3/27 and Wednesday, 3/28 from 4:00-8:00.
