I hope and pray that you are doing well, staying healthy, and can use this weekend as some much needed time to relax and recharge. Here are your updates looking at next week:

• Parent/Teacher conferences will take place next week Thursday and Friday. A link was sent out this week to sign up for a time-slot. These conferences are student-led. Next week, students will be coming up with goals in class to discuss at our meeting. 
• This upcoming Friday (1/21) is a half day. Dismissal will be at 11:40. 
• Scholastic book orders were sent out last week. If you wish to order a book, please have your order in by January 21. 
• Our class will be taking a field trip to Concordia next month on Tuesday, February 8. We will be attending their production of The Little Mermaid. Permission slips will be sent out in a few weeks.
• Our Christian Character Formation trait for next week is diligence. We will be reading the parable of the Farmer and the Seed. 
• Memory:
  • For Tuesday: “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing” (John 15:5).
  • For Thursday: “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” (Psalm 23:6)
