1200-Strong…
At our constituency meeting this past Monday, we talked about a plan to potentially raise up to $144,000 in one year for upgrades to the school. The plan is for every church member (and every parent and student) to participate in a systematic giving program in the amount of $10 per month for one year. You could start in April, May, June or July. We already have several people who have joined the giving program, and we are excited to see what will happen as people commit to becoming one of the 1200.
We plan to start our facelift projects as early as this summer, and as funds come in, we will continue through our list. In the last two issues of The Dirt, we asked for your input and we have had responses that tell us that the gym floor is a priority, with a school sign and fencing the yard coming in close behind.
Please prayerfully consider participating as one of the 1200-Strong.
5/6 Class Heads to Mivoden
The fifth and sixth grade class will head to Mivoden on Monday morning for one full school week, where they will be involved in Oudoor School. Mr. O will be driving the bus for the group. There will be no school activities for those students in these grades who are not participating in this trip.
Constituency Meeting
We would like to thank all of the delegates and others who came out to the constituency meeting this past week. We especially appreciate those students who came out to listen in and otherwise participate in the evening. Our most important announcement arising from the meeting is the addition of a fourth church to our governing body. We welcome the Kennewick Spanish Church as our newest partner in Adventist education in the Tri-Cities.
Elementary Intramurals…
Mr. O will be gone next week with the class that is headed to Mivoden, so the next elementary intramural league will not start up until the following week. We will be playing Maxball. Students who think they might be interested in playing are invited to come out after lunch on Monday, May 9 and try it. If they decide to continue, they wil be put on teams which will play over the next two to three weeks.

Only his boot stands where this famous General’s sculpture might have been.
Items to Recycle…
We have a couple of items to give away or sell this week. First, I have a couple of music stands. The first one is complete. I am asking $2. The other is just the base and I am giving it away. You would have to purchase the top for it.
We also have a portable basketball stand with plexi-glass (plastic) backboard and breakaway hoop that we are selling for $25. We stopped using it in the gym because the base had a seam leak and wouldn’t hold water, but it could hold sand and would work. The basket needs a weld, but also will work as is.
