A NOTE FROM MRS. JACKSON
It is hard to believe that we have reached the middle of the school year already. Merry Christmas to all of our Lower School families. Enjoy these next two weeks with your families. Let’s celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in a way that impacts the people around us! When someone wishes you Happy Holidays, return the greeting with a bold, “Merry Christmas!” I pray that your Christmas would be blessed and I can’t wait to see everyone back in 2017.
And an angel of the Lord suddenly stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were terribly frightened. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
Luke 2: 9-12
NEW THIS WEEK

Lower School-Orlando Magic Game
Lower School will be having a family social event at the Orlando Magic’s Faith and Family Night on Friday, January 20th beginning at 7:00pm. The Lower School Choir/Chorus students who are able to attend will be singing during the pregame show. Admission will also give families access to the concert taking place after the game. Tickets are $33 and $36 and can be purchased HERE. We have blocks of seating so we will all be in the same area. Tickets will be on sale through December 16th so go ahead and make your purchase soon! The teacher with the highest level of participation will receive a special gift from the Orlando Magic. We look forward to seeing everyone there.
Box Tops for Education
The second collection due date for this year’s Box Tops for Education is Friday, December 16th. Please collect your box tops and turn them into the collection bucket located at the Lower, Middle or Upper School front desk. This program will help our school earn money, but more importantly help teach our students how joining forces with each other can accomplish great things. This project allows our children to choose, “Service before self and participation as a way of life.” Together we can set a TFA record this year!
