The Missouri District will “shine” for the fifth consecutive year in our statewide servant event, April 4-13, 2025. Based on Matthew 5:16, the 10 days of service encourage groups of all ages and skillsets to serve their neighbors and be a witness for Jesus Christ.

FIRST GRADE SHINE EVENT: WEDNESDAY APRIL 9, 2025

Our class will participate in the SHINE EVENT by going to the Boulevard Senior Living, across the street. We will singing songs for them, sharing jokes with them, and giving them gifts we made at our Valentine Party.

Mr. Debrick and Miss Steinbacher will accompany us to help with crossing the street.

Permission slips were sign at the beginning of the school year.

Your child will come home with a T-shirt to keep from the event.

I still need several kids to bring their egg cartons with eggs!

MARK THE DATE: TUESDAY, MAY 22, 6 PM

The First-Third Grade Musical

Plan on attending.

The first graders are in the chorus.

Look for more information soon!

We’ve been focusing on building problem-solving skills in the classroom, and I’m incredibly proud of how well the students are doing—many are now able to solve simple problems independently!

You can support this growth at home by allowing your child the opportunity to work through minor challenges, such as forgetting a book bag or folder. In most cases, they’ve already found a solution at school by using one of my extra "borrowed" folders or book bags.

To encourage their independence, I kindly ask that you refrain from bringing forgotten items to school. Thank you for partnering with me in helping your child become a confident problem solver!
