The Student Council is sponsoring an Easter coloring contest and an Easter raffle. Details may be found elsewhere in this folder. Thanks for your support!

We received $110.00 from Computer Supplies Unlimited for our recent submission of used ink cartridges. Thanks to all who save & send those in!

Everyone is invited to a “Slide Show of the Holy Land” on Thursday, April 14th at 1:30 pm in the Center gymnasium. The presentation will be 30 to 45 minutes long and promises to be very interesting. All school children will be in attendance and all community members are very welcome to attend.

We will have our annual Easter Egg Hunt on the morning of Holy Thursday, before we break for Easter. The hunt will be for students in Grades preschool through 4th. As usual, the older students will be hiding the eggs. Please send in ONE DOZEN CANDY FILLED EGGS by Monday, April 18th for your preschool through 4th grader. Eggs should be filled with candy that won’t melt in the sun and also no peanut butter products please. Older students who are feeling left out may bring treats to share that morning. Thanks to all for sending in the eggs!

Good luck to all students attending the Spelling Bee on Tuesday! We will have results in next week’s notes.

READING COUNTS FIELD TRIP NEWS:  The Reading Counts Field Trip will be on Monday, May 9th (this is a state holiday). Grades PK – 2nd will be going to Miner Mikes at Osage Beach (maze only –WEAR SOCKS- REQUIRED!!) from 9-11 am. The 3-8 grades will be going to Lazer Force, at Lake Ozarks, from 9:30-11:00 am. Each student will get to play two games (20 minutes each) in groups of 24. Arcade games will be available at Lazer Force, but the student will need to bring extra spending money if they play these games. Lunch will be at a local park. Then all the students will enjoy an afternoon movie at the Lodge of the Four Season (from 12:30 – 2:30), with popcorn & soda included in the price. We should be back to school by 3:15-3:30 pm. There will be a fee for each child to attend ($8-10 range?). We will keep you updated as plans are finalized.

Stations of the Cross – each Friday during Lent at 2:15 pm. School children may be dismissed from church after the Stations if they bring a note that day (this allows teachers to know that the student should bring his/her book bag to church). Otherwise, students will be dismissed from the gym at 3:00 pm, as usual.
