3, 2, 1, action! Competing for first place in this year’s Biggest, Brightest Christmas Show, Lyndsey, Sammy, Seth, Goldie, and the rest of the crew are playing to win! But right when they go to turn the lights on… boom! No sound, no lights, no power. But somehow, the light of the star above the manger is still on. Join them in learning what Christmas is really about, and that the biggest and brightest doesn’t always equal the best.
Be ready to get excited at the 3-5 graders program. With solos, acting, and songs, this is definitely worthy of your time! You can sing along to old favorites like Silent Night, or Joy to the World, but just know- they aren’t old anymore! Also enjoy some new songs like Born is the King and Biggest, Brightest Christmas. Come to Grace Lutheran’s School campus on Wednesday, December 3 at 8:30 for the morning program, or if you’re busy then, catch us at 6:30 on the church campus that night. See you there! Grace has been using Fast Direct to send Wednesday school newsletters. In an effort to improve communication by eliminating the need to login to Fast Direct, Grace will be using 2 new communication tools during the 2nd trimester.
1. Newsletter Email: We will be using Mail Chimp to send the weekly school news. The new format will be in a more readable format for tablets and smartphones. Recipients will have the option to unsubscribe or to subscribe to the newsletter in each message. This will allow both parents, grandparents or congregation members to subscribe to the news if desired. 2. REMIND: Text announcements and reminders: Smartphone and tablet users often prefer text messaging to emails. Grace will begin to use REMIND to send emergency alerts and shorter text reminders directly to subscribers' phones. Watch for an upcoming message with subscription information for users to opt-in or opt-out of this service. Parents should continue to use FastDirect to check grades and to email teachers or the office. Some messages from teachers will still be sent through FastDirect. Be sure to login if you receive a message notification in your email. The 1st Trimester has ended.
Reports Cards for grades K-8 will be viewable in FastDirect on Mon. Nov 17 at Noon. Parents who need help logging into Fast Direct should contact the school office. Click the VIEW button at the bottom of the FD home page to view the report card. Printed report cards will also be printed and sent with students this term to be sure parents have a chance to review them before parent-teacher conferences.
