Dear Parents,
Welcome back from spring break.  I hope that you were able to enjoy some special time with your children during the week off.
We learned that Ella’s baby sister arrived this past Saturday.  She is having a few issues, so we are not sure when she will be coming home.  Congratulations, Ella!
 My spring break started with our family’s trip to Florida.  On Tuesday morning, I received the word that my 97 year old father had been called to his heavenly home, so we all headed to Philadelphia for his funeral.   Dad, was the best father anyone could ask for.  He was such a strong Christian man who loved his Savior and shared that love so freely with his three children.  Dad was married to our mom for 45 years.  She passed away and ten years later he married Dottie who was an amazing wife and care-giver for him,  At the end, he lost his fight against a septic infection.  The end came quickly for him.  His suffering is over and he now rejoices in that heavenly home.  (And- while in Philly, I spent 4 days in bed with a nasty virus- not flu A but nasty!!)  I am planning to be back in the classroom on Wednesday.  Thanks to Mrs.Klug and to Mrs.Sanft for covering the afternoons for me. 
Hopefully, you read over the third quarter report card. Once again, you may keep all of the papers that came home in the big envelope and the report card from the small brown envelope. Just return the big envelope and the signed report card envelope. Please let us know if you would like to have a conference with us.
This Thursday is our second annual CCLS family literacy night for our elementary families with a superhero theme.  The night will begin with a “mystery reader” and then the teachers will be hosting a variety of activities in their classrooms. Feel free to stay as long as you wish.  The evening begins at 6:00 and concludes at 7:30.  Please RSVP  to the email so that we know how many to expect. A fun part of this event is the book exchange.  Please bring any books that you are finished reading into Mrs. Callison on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday.  She will give you tickets that you can use to “purchase” books on literacy night.  Please consider joining us for this family event.
This Friday we are very excited that Will’s Mom will be coming in to teach us an art project (she is an art teacher at The Rossman School).  She is also returning from Uganda this week with our team.  I am sure that she will have lots of stories to share while she is working with us. 
On Wednesday, May 8th, our class will be presenting the chapel service at 8:30.  Then at 9:30 we will have our annual author party where the children will share with you what they have written throughout the year.  Each child needs to have a guest at the author event with whom they can share.  Please mark your calendar and plan to join us on that day. 
The new salmon-colored sheet for church and Sunday school attendance came home last week along with a new service project form.  Please record your child’s attendance and return it to me during the last week of the quarter. The service project sheet may come back to me as soon as your child has completed the project.  Thanks so much!
Have a great week!  Spring has certainly sprung!!
Yours in Him,
Janet Leet
