Chapel Challenge

Just a reminder that Pastor Jason has challenged all students to learn the Ten Commandments.  Those who  can correctly recite the Ten Commandments will be awarded $10 by Pastor Jason! 

Book Adventure Goals

We started everyone back at zero points after our last goal was met. However, we do have a running total of your points so we can keep track for the whole year. Your goals are as follows:

500- Free Homework Pass

1000- Treasure Box

1500- Book Adventure Assembly- March 11

Some of you have started the year off with a bang and are doing a great job! Keep up the good work and continue reading!
