Cookie Dough Sales

It's that time again to heat up your ovens and bake those delicious Otis Spunkmeyer cookies.  This is our biggest fundraiser to help with the Junior/Senior Banquet expenses.

On Tuesday, we will announce and reveal to the student body the location and theme for JSB 2008 to be held on Saturday, April 26th .  Each student will receive a catalog of the cookie dough selections and three new flavors have been added. 

The top seller between the senior & junior class will receive a free JSB ticket (valued at $60.00).  Any seniors or juniors who sell more than 20 tubs of cookie dough can purchase their JSB ticket for half off (a $30.00 savings).   The top sophomore seller will be invited to purchase two JSB tickets and the freshman top seller will win a special prize. 

The cookie dough sales begin Tuesday, February 5th  thru Tuesday,  February 26th . 

We appreciate all your support,

Bradley Davis, Caroline Johnson and Jackie Lee

I pray that you and your love ones had a memorable Christmas break together.  You might remember that last year I shared with you the reasons for having an extended Christmas break.  Because of the change we started the school year earlier than usual.  I hoped that by completing the first semester before Christmas break our students would be first, better prepared to do better on their final exams and secondly, that they would not have any academic responsibilities hanging over their heads during the break.  Freeing the students in this manner would give them and your families more quality time to spend with each other during this special season as we commemorate the birth of our Lord.  I have heard from many of you regarding this change in our schedule.  I would like to collect more information so that we can make future plans for years to come.  As of now our schedule is set for next year and we will duplicate this year's extended Christmas break.  However, if this is not as favorable for the majority we will consider making changes for the following years. 

I have set up a brief survey questionnaire on RenWeb for you to complete and let me know your opinion on the Christmas break schedule.  Please take a few minutes to answer five simple questions.  You can go to your parent login on Renweb and click on survey.  There you can respond to the questions and offer some suggestions.  Your responses will be anonymous to us so you can be candid with your response.  The survey will be actively available until February 29^th.  In our March newsletter I will share with you the result to this survey.

Reminders:

Re-enrollment has now been available for a month.  I want to encourage you to complete the re-enrollment forms and return to the office.  You can access the school's website and download all the necessary forms.  Remember after March 3^rd the fee will increase by $100 and will risk your student's space.  Also, it is important to note that we have included a new form for a confidential recommendation to be completed by your pastor or church leader.  The enrollment is incomplete until we receive all these forms.  So, follow up with your pastor or church leader to make sure they have sent this form to the school. 

Study Abroad in Israel is the title of our new program that will allow students to experience the Land of the Bible and earn high school credit.  This trip will be scheduled in June 2008.  I trust you have received a flyer explaining the details.  If you have any questions please call me for more information.  The final deadline for registration is February 6^th.  If you and /or your student would like to participate, you may pick up a registration form in the front office.  We plan to repeat this program the following year as well. 

On behalf of the faculty and staff I want to express a heart felt appreciation to all of the parents that donated towards the Christmas gift for our teachers and staff.  Your generous giving has blessed us all.  Thank you and God bless you.

In His Service for your children,

Mr. Noriega

SEE'S CANDY UPDATE

Do you remember a long time ago in October when we handed out the See's candy boxes to your student?  Well, they are past due and we are still in need of the funds.  We are so grateful to the many, many families who have turned in your envelope, however we still have over a hundred envelopes outstanding.  Please help us meet our goal so we can begin to fund our upcoming events.  Each $48.00 envelope will make a difference and continue to make our events possible.  Please note that you will not be billed for the box, however we encourage you to support us and return your envelope to the office.  Thank you very much.
