Spring Break
Next Friday (the 18th) our students will be wrapping up the third quarter and heading out to Spring Break. It might be fun to see what everyone is up to over the break. Students and teachers who are interested in participating can stop by the office to let us know where they are heading and we’ll put a full list in the 18th issue of The Dirt.
Students can venture a guess at the cumulative number of land miles travelled by everyone who checks in. Then, during the first week of April, students can stop by the office to venture one guess at that number. I have a Wolfpack Hoodie to award the closest guess.
Looking for Sabbath Afternoon Opportunity…
The Kennewick church is running a form of Sunshine Band on the first and third Sabbaths of each month. They go over to the Tri-Cities Retirement Inns and share music, etc. with the residents during the afternoon. The group is seeking students who might be interested in providing special music of any kind or who may be able to play piano or guitar and accompany those singing. They also invite singers to join them.
For contact information, get in touch with the school office and we will pass on contact information.
Week of Prayer
Don’t forget that next week is our annual spring week of prayer. Come prepared to participate and draw closer to God during this time of spiritual emphasis.
We invite parents, grandparents or other supporters of TCJA to lift up our speaker, Myron Wareham, and our students & teachers in prayer each morning and evening this coming week – our desire is that the Holy Spirit will descend on our school and that our children will more fully understand the saving relationship that we are offered through Jesus Christ.
Visitation Day…
During the Public Schools’ Spring Break, we offer a one-day opportunity for potential Pre-K through 2nd grade students and/or their parents to check out what we have to offer. Students join us for worship at 8:30 and stay with us through the lunch hour. This gives them the chance to see several aspects of our program, including the play activities. Current students who bring friends to school from families that are not currently attending will earn free registration for next year if the friends register.
