Oh the Lord is good to me and so I thank the Lord
For giving me the things I need
Like the sun and the rain and the apple seed.
The Lord is good to me!

Teachers will be scheduling the parent conferences Wednesday after school at our facility meetings. The teachers will schedule families with more than 1 student so that your conferences will be consecutive. I will then send home your scheduled time in the Friday Folder.
We had a great day celebrating Johnny Appleseed Day. A big thank you to all the moms who came in to help; Mrs. Farquharson, Mrs. Frecks, Mrs. Wilhite, and Mrs. Kvet.
Take a look at the many pictures from this week. I had a little trouble so some don't have captions and are out of order.
In HIM,
