“I am an image-bearer! I listen for understanding and build trusting relationships.”
This week we enjoyed several days of very nice weather which meant a lot of outside learning time! Learning outdoors engages all the senses and allows us to move more freely and be (a little) louder than we can be inside. Sunshine soothes us.
We also practiced and sang an Armed Forces Medley for our Veterans at the Veteran’s Day chapel today and talked about what servicemen and women have done for us and our country. We also talked about how we can care well for each other by sharing each others’ burdens and lifting each other up in prayer. Prayer is central to our mission “to prepare future-ready kids who demonstrate excellence in mind, body, and spirit to boldly engage with the world as image-bearers of Christ.”
ANNOUNCEMENTS!
The weather is turning colder in the morning. Be sure your child has a warm jacket and GLOVES they can write with (thin ones). If we can’t be in the forest we’re still often on the porch and it can be chilly.
Can I pack nut products in my child’s lunch? YES! We do not have any students with life threatening nut allergies.
Put your child’s name in their jackets and replace the change of clothes in their bag with long sleeves/pants.
Email, call or text the office when your child will be missing school. Email: amber@joshua-academy.org or 479-493-4092.
Volunteers! We are looking for parent volunteers for lunch duty (12-12:45 pm). You may volunteer once a month or as often as you like! Email or call Amber if you’re interested: amber@joshua-academy.org
