Early Registration Approaches
There is only a month and a half before the Early Registration deadline is upon us. 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.
Dress Code...reminder
Some of us have slacked off a little when it comes to dressing appropriately for school. It is not that we have been immodest, but rather, that we have become a bit sloppy… and it isn’t all of us, and it isn’t all of the time. Nonetheless, we would like to present a better picture for those who come through our school. We also believe that we perform better when we are dressed well.
Please remember that collared shirts are mandatory, even when wearing sweatshirts. Avoid some of the ragged fashions (torn jeans, etc.) and remember that short pants are not in season until April, other than for PE. Students (especially those in high school) who are not dressed appropriately may be required to call home for a change of clothing before being allowed to participate in classes.
Basketball Teams …
The 6-8 (with some 5’s) boys basketball team has 6 games currently scheduled. The 8-10 boys have 2 games and a tournament. Watch the weekly Dirt for updates and information on more games.
The 6-8 girls basketball has been practicing. We have a dedicated coach, but the numbers of interested girls has dropped. Girls in 9/10 who would like to learn the game better are welcome to come out and practice during this Monday/Wednesday time slot. This will give our girls the opportunity to learn the game better so as to be able to play in the future, though we will not schedule any games if we do not have enough girls in any one program to meet the numbers required for a game.

Mexican Food (2) …
Last week the Kennewick Spanish Church served our hot lunch as a fundraiser for their student aid funds. More than 50 people purchased lunch to help this fund. This Monday, the Pasco Spanish lunch will be running the fundraiser for the same cause. Once again, if you are a fan of home-cooked Mexican food, you might not want to miss out on this lunch.
Another Lunch Fundraiser
Bradley and Abe are serving a haystack lunch on Thursday as a fundraiser for their spring mission trip. They will be participating in a Share Him ministry in the Dominican Republic, and need to raise a chunk of cash, quickly. They thank-you in advance for your support.
