Dear Parents,

We want to express our sincere gratitude to all our Grade 1 parents who helped to make “The Wedding” a great success. The children were so very excited and did so well memorizing and acting out all of their parts. Everyone did exceptionally well and we are so proud of you.

Also many thanks to FBC pastor, Pastor Thabiti, our principal, Dr. Cross, staff members, teachers and classes who left their busy schedules to be with us during this time.

Thanks again.

Asynthia and Tessa

Over our break, instead of assigning homework, Grade 1 has decided to hold a reading competition. We would like to see who can read the most books during their days off of school. Please encourage your child to read as many books as possible. Once they have read all that they can, they will then choose their favorite book and present it on Monday, February 22, 2010.

Happy reading!
