Eucharist Chapel

All parents of third through eighth grade students are invited to join us for Eucharist Chapel on Friday, August 28th at 8:30 AM in the church sanctuary.  All are welcome to participate in taking Eucharist and students are encouraged to participate at their comfort level which could be remaining seated in the pews, receiving a blessing at the alter, taking the wafer and abstaining from the wine, or receiving both the wafer and wine at the alter.  Procedures will be reviewed with students in chapel and in their home room classes.  This is one of our four Holy Eucharist students participate in throughout the academic year, the others occur at Christmas, Easter, and the Baccalaureate service.

Lower School Curriculum Night 

Be sure to join us for Lower School Curriculum Night on Thursday, September 3rd.  This is a chance to hear all about the curriculum and content of your child's grade level and also to hear about special events such as field trips, thematic celebrations, and more.  We hope to see you at 6:30 PM.  Childcare is provided through Extended Day for a small fee.  Please be sure to preregister if you plan on utilizing childcare so Mrs. McDonald can provide sufficient staffing for the evening.  You can preregister by contacting Karen McDonald at kmcdonald@speds.org.
