Notes for Our Families …November
06, 2008
“Upon
the education of the people of this country, the fate of this country
depends.” - Benjamin
Disraeli (This quote is not exactly true.
The fate of our country rests in the hands of God.
Nonetheless, Disaeli is an important point to make. –SW)
Wise
men store up knowledge, but the mouth of a fool invites ruin.
Proverbs 10:14
Craft Fair
This weekend is our first Christmas Craft Fair.
There are lots of great vendors coming.
You’ll be able to get a lot of Christmas shopping accomplished
and support Covenant at the same time.
Contact Angie Holley @638.3432 if you would like to help. Doors
open at
9:00
and close at
3:00
.
See you there.
Large Work Space Needed
The Development Committee has a fundraiser that looks very
promising and you don’t have to buy anything.
They will be making and selling large evergreen wreaths for
Christmas. For a few weeks
early in the Christmas season, we need space to set up a place where these
wreaths can be made. If you
have a barn, warehouse space, large garage, etc, near the school, please
call Mr. Wilkins.
Winter
Reminders
Cold weather is coming. Please
remember we go outside to recess until the temperature goes below 35
degrees. Don’t forget to
send your kids with coats and gloves.
Also, in the event of snow, school cancellation will be announced
on our voice mail, on 100 FM, 93.7 FM, Channel 3 and 13.
Drop
Off Volunteers We could use a little
help unloading cars in the morning. If
you can be here at
7:30
(or
earlier) please let Mr. Wilkins know.
It is actually a fun job as you get to know the kids and the
parents.
Flower
Shower
The
Booster Club’s subcommittee for
teacher appreciation put on a flower shower last week.
It was very successful. Covenant
teachers were buried with flowers and were really touched.
They would like the parents to know how much they appreciated your
efforts!
Veterans
Day The choir is singing at the
Veteran’s Home next Tuesday on Veterans Day. We would like to send
cookies with them to give out from the students as a mission project. The
secondary school is asking their parents to send cookies next Monday or
Tuesday morning for this special day. I know this is on the heels of the
craft fair and us asking for baked goods, but we would greatly appreciate
any donations!
Covenant
sweatshirts We
have a few students interested in ordering sweatshirts but we need at
least 12 orders to be able to place an order. If you haven’t ordered a
sweatshirt and would like to, please contact Melody at extension 204. They
are $20 each and come in red and navy.
Entertainment
Books Thanks to everyone who
participated in selling the Entertainment Books. We sold 448 books and
made over $3500! The prizes will be delivered in 3 – 5 weeks. Thanks for
all your hard work in the last several months to help raise funds for the
school!
Fundraisers
A flyer is attached with some of our ongoing fundraisers. A few other
reminders about easy ways to make cash for the school:
Office
Depot – any purchase you make – tell the cashier you want the purchase
to count for
Covenant
School
. They have our number by each register and
will enter it.
Amazon
– Go to our website, covenantschoolwv.org and order through the Amazon
link at the top left of the screen. Percentage of all purchases go to the
school.
Kroger
Cards – Buy a card from us for $5.00 (card has $5.00 already on it to
spend). Place any amount on the card at the store and then use the card at
Kroger for groceries and gas. Part of the money Kroger sends us goes back
to your future tuition.
Tennis
sweatshirts are to be worn only
on t-shirt on the 10’s days. Regular Covenant sweatshirts are to be worn
on regular school days. Also, if your child is not participating in the
“spirit days” theme, they are to wear their regular uniform.
