Final Church Program for the Year
On April 2nd our students will be descending on Riverview Church to share in the presentation of the worship service. Earlier this year we went to Kennewick and Richland and this is our last school-wide program of this sort for this school year. Each program has been somewhat different from the last and this one will be no exception. Please plan to come and worship with us on that day.
Floor Hockey Intramurals Begin…
This week we set up our floor hockey season and we will start intramural games on Tuesday, the 8th. There are 4 teams and enthusiasm is running high. Of all the sports we do in intramurals, hockey seems to generate the greatest participation with 91% of our 7th to 10th graders signing up to be on a team.
Week of Prayer Schedule
Myron Wareham, a former electrician, middle school teacher, elementary and high school principal, and superintendent of schools has left the offices and gone back to the classroom so he could work with kids. Since he teaches in California, his spring break is not the same as ours. This allows him to take his break to come and lead in our worship. He will meet with our 7th to 10th graders first thing in the morning (8:30), our 1st through 6th graders at 9:30 and our Small World people at 10:15. Parents who are able to do so, and who would like to join us are more than welcome to do so. Also, we solicit all of your prayers as we come to this part of our school year – that God’s hand will be in the details and that children will make decisions to accept Jesus Christ into their hearts.
Band/Choir Trip Modified…
Though the band and choir were scheduled to leave today, that has been changed and they will be leaving on Friday (tomorrow) morning instead. They have a program scheduled for Grandview School followed by some leisure time activities. They will be nighting over at the All-Nations center in Wapato and presenting the worship service there on Sabbath. Saturday afternoon they will present a vespers program at Selah. After supper and some games, they will return home. The plan is to be back at the school by 9:00, Sabbath evening.
