SCHOOL NEWS

Tuesday May 4th from 5-7pm the school will be holding an Open House for the community, with open enrollment, food and prizes!

Thank you to everyone who stepped up and volunteered or donated money or items for the Open House. There are just a few more things we need:

1.    Baked goods are needed for dessert that night. See one of teachers in the Narthex after the service with the sign-up sheet.
2.    Popcorn (non-microwave type) old fashioned seeds and butter for popping.
3.    Chips to be served with the hotdogs.

Come and show your support for the church and school by coming to the Open House.  The more the merrier. The church and school are one in this effort, even if you don’t have kids at the school, by being there and sharing how the school enriches the church, it will make a big difference.  Now is the time to make a difference, come and do your part.

Get the word out about our school. The IBE Scholarship has been extended, scholarship monies are available to students coming from public school. See Kelly or Chris for more info. The Director of IBE will be on hand at the Open House to help expedite the scholarship applications and answer questions. Help us reach and exceed our goal of 15 new students!
