Mexican Food …
Kennewick Spanish Church is planning to serve hot lunch this Monday as a means of helping raise worthy student funds. They are hoping that many students (and even parents) might take advantage of the opportunity to eat some authentic Mexican food and support their students at the same time. Enchiladas, rice and beans are on the menu for the day, and they’re also accepting orders for take home trays of any of the above. If you are a fan of Mexican food, you will not want to miss out on this lunch.
Calendar Change … TCJA at Riverview Church
Please note that the March 3 program we had planned to do at Riverview Church has been changed to March 31. Mark your calendars accordingly. With the exception of the Kennewick church service which saw many of our students bound in by snow, we have had super attendance and participation at these functions. It would be really neat if we had 100% participation this time.
Home And School Tidbits...
The Home & School Association is collecting Box Tops for Education. Watch for boxtop coupons on a variety of commonly purchased grocery and household items such as cereals, granola bars, etc. The little coupons are to be cut out of the packaging and brought to the school (or your church) drop box collection sites. Each boxtop collected is worth a minimum of 10 cents for our school.
Also, the H&S would like to announce that the Free Polo rack is still operating. Many people have collected polos, and many have taken polos – all good. While we are very happy that so many families have taken advantage of this program, please note that we do have very few shirts at the moment. Please keep the rack in mind when cleaning out closets. Thanks Home and School.
Tri-City Youth Ski Day …
TCJA and Richland AY have teamed up to bring our church and school community a great rate for skiing and snowboarding at White Pass. TCJA qualifies for the education discount and RAY is providing a youth stipend so the rates are great. Adults or families who would like to participate can also qualify for the group rate, however they will need to sign up and they will need to provide their own transportation. Registration forms are in the office.

Riddle Me This…
Here goes... I am looking to give a hat away to the first person (Friday) who can tell me the answer to this week’s riddle. It is a Language Arts riddle:
If you look in the present tense and you look in the past tense you will easily note something that children love. What is it?
Thank-you Mrs. Atkins for submitting this (modified) riddle.
Early Registration Approaches
Registering early for the coming year does several things. First, and most importantly, it allows you to access an incredible discount on the normal registration rates. Second, it allows you to lock in the space for your child. Third, it allows us to plan textbook acquisition so that we can purchase in a timeframe that nets us the best discounts on our orders.
Registering by Friday, April 13 will see you paying an entrance fee of $220 per child while registering at the end of August will cost you $380.
