Dear 4th Grade Parents,
Hello! I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the beautiful flowers for my father's funeral. They are breathtaking, and we placed them right next to his picture in the front of the church. Everyone that passed by commented on their beauty and told me that I must have the sweetest class. Yes, yes, I do! Thank you for your prayers, generosity, and patience with me the last few weeks. My family has all made it safely home to Indiana and Illinois and I am back to school. I love you all dearly. Once again, I am thankful that Mrs. Rachel Carper was here to be with and teach the kiddos! They thrive under her instruction and grace.
Reminders/Updates:
*We do not have school this Thursday or Friday. Teachers will be at our Missouri District teaching conference in Osage Beach, MO.
*PARENT/TEACHER CONFERENCES are coming up--Thursday and Friday, October 29th and 30th. I am looking forward to visiting with you about your child's grades, work habits, and how they are generally doing in 4th grade! Please pick a time that works best for you and your family. If you cannot find one that suits you, please email me, and we will work something out!

A mighty fortress is our God,
A trusty shield and weapon;
He helps us free from ev'ry need
That has us now o'ertaken.

Now means deadly woe;
Deep guile and great might
Are his dread arms in fight;
On earth is not his equal.
