Claiming God's Comfort For Every Hour

We've been praying over and trying to push the breaks in advance of this day. Today marks one year, 365 long days and nights. for our Pat living without her Jay right beside her. She didn't want to mark this day. Yet here it is. We miss her here at school today and commit to continue to pray that God will reach out and surround her with his loving arms of comfort. Every hour of every day but especially this day. 

Pat told me yesterday at the end of the school day that she felt God's warmth and his presence through the quiet hugs, tears and concern expressed from you, her South Side family. Let's continue to uphold her throughout the next year. The valley is not over but the LOVE of God and his people will remain stronger. 

Welcome Joe Obaseki
Many of you have already met the newest member of our South Side team! Mr. O! He's awesome! He has already jumped right into work with our boys in Mrs. Haig's classroom and we're enjoying GREAT success! We're BLESSED to work alongside you, Joe! Welcome aboard!

Osmo base MIA
We are missing an Osmo base. That's the white thing that the iPad sits in. Anybody? Anybody?

Back to Health Chiropractic
On Monday, October 15, Back to Health will be providing lunch for you hard working South Side staff! Leave your PB & J or leftover pizza from the night before at home! There will be a tasty treat for you at school!

Kindness Rocks
Our loving JK students have painted rocks for students and will place them all over the playground! In special hiding places! I will tell the students over the PA on Monday morning how the kindness rocks work. If a student finds a kindness rock, they may run inside and place it in their locker. They are invited to accept the challenge to do something kind to someone else. Once their act of kindness has been completed, they get to hide the rock somewhere on the playground for someone else to find and accept the challenge. Isn't that cute? Thank you, JK!

POD group next Wednesday
The Pine Ridge POD group would like to come to SS to help with our students on Wednesday, October 3 from 1:00-2:00. Can you use some student assistants in your classroom? We're looking to place 30 kids :) Thank you for considering!
