PRINCIPAL'S
Corner
Can you believe that we are already in September! Time is flying by so quickly!
Thank you to everyone for your help and support so far this year. At times I may
sound like a broken record, but I cannot say it enough: we truly appreciate your
support. We cannot do what we do without your help at home.
As we enter this new month, we are closing our first fundraiser, Little Caesars
Pizza Kits. We did not reach our school goal, but we did make right at $300.
Thank you all for helping with this fundraiser. Please mark on your calendars
that we will be having a bake sale and car wash fundraiser Saturday,
September 10th, from 10-2. Attendance for the entire fundraiser is mandatory
for all students. Also, please be sure that your family makes/purchases at a
minimum 2 dozen small, individually wrapped, baked goods such as cookies,
brownies, cake pops, etc. If you plan to bring larger baked good items, such as
cake rolls, whole cakes, cupcakes, fried pies, please get in touch with Sis.
Danielle or I so that we can plan table space accordingly. We had a blast with
this fundraiser last year and raised around $1,200 for our school, so we are
expecting greater this year. Be on the lookout for a flyer to share on social
media, via text message, copy and pass out, etc. Let’s do our part to make this
year a major success!
Looking at our school calendar, we have some dates to pay close attention to.
Monday, September 5th is Labor Day, and we will not have school. Students
have been encouraged to finish through lesson 21 by the end of the day
Thursday, September 1st, so that they do not have any work to do at home that
day. If a student is not finished with lesson 21 by then, they are required to
complete lesson 21 at home on Labor Day.
I also want to congratulate our first “Student of the Month”. This student
exemplifies Christian character, outstanding academic progress, and completes
their assigned work on time. Recipients of this honor will receive a Chick-fil-A
breakfast, a Kilgore Mercantile & Music gift certificate for free ice cream, and a
special treat from the principal! The first recipient of this title is Ms. Sarah Faulk.
Sarah has shown Christian character, she is showing outstanding academic
progress, and she has completed every assignment that has been assigned this
year, and some ahead! Thank you, Sarah, for your diligence and great work
ethic this year!
In His service,
Rev. Tyler Register
Principal
