Mrs. Gerritsma’s Reflections
What a joy to see all the students, parents, and grandparents at the opening chapel this morning, chatting, praising, and celebrating Christian education together. Please continue to pray for a wonderful school year, filled with education that will teach our children what they need to know to influence culture for Christ.

Partnership Evening – Wednesday, September 10, 7:15 p.m.
We hope all parents are able to attend this very valuable evening! We will begin with a session on Internet Safety for all parents, followed by sessions with each classroom teacher and the middle school staff. These 20 minute sessions will offer an opportunity for the classroom teacher to share curriculum and expectations, and for parents to ask any questions they may have.
ROOM PARENTS REQUIRED for 2008/09 School Year
Each year the PTA tries to arrange to have a designated room parent for each classroom teacher at the elementary school. If you would like to get to know and stay in touch with your child's teacher and class activities, why not sign up for this volunteer duty. Some of the things a room parent may do are: help arrange drivers for class trips, arrange for extra help for a special activity (Japan Day, baking cookies, etc). Keeping the teacher and class in your prayers daily, perhaps sending an encouraging card from time to time, or arrange someone to do yard duty for the designated teacher. Also, remembering the teachers birthday with a small gift and celebration (date will be supplied).These are only suggestions, there are no rules. Please call Rita Langendoen at 905-562-1764 if this sounds fun to you. (Email bernlangendoen@aol.com)
Hope to hear from you. Signing up with a friend makes it even easier!
