Science Supplies

Parents, do you have any of the following items lying around your house that you can donate to our classroom? These are items we plan to use for 7th/8th science this school year. If you find something you can give, please send it in as soon as you are able. I am not asking for you to buy anything, but rather to donate items that you have on hand. Thank you!

7th/8th Chapel

Our chapel is planned for Friday, September 28. Rev. DeBoer chose the topic of Confession of our Sins. We look forward to seeing parents at our chapel, and being able to use instruments and voices in praise to our Savior for the forgiveness that He gives us.
