2008 Angel “Masked” Ball |
SAVE THE
DATE! Saturday,October
25, 2008–Angel Masked Ball The
date has been set and the FUN
has begun. The Angel Ball is Palmer’s #1 FUNdraiser and all our families need to join in
the FUN. Along with selling
your raffle tickets (to be sent out this summer so you can get a jump start
on your sales), you must either procure an item for the Auction or sign up to
work on one of the committees. We all
look forward to the fellowship and FUN!! ¨ Now accepting gently used or
new furniture/items for our children’s art projects. We will be collecting them all through the
summer for our children’s classes to decorate in the Fall. We
have already started procuring items … many thanks to those already involved! ¨ Call Palmer front
office with questions. |
Drop off and Dismissal: We ask all drivers to follow our
guidelines that will help maintain the safe and smooth arrival and dismissal of
every student. Here are a few reminders.
C-Project: Beatitude: “Blessed are those
who mourn, for they will be comforted.”
“Happy are those who know that everything that lives comes from God and
is a blessing.” (Beatitudes for Kids, 8)
Book
of the Month: The book of the month
for April is Just a Dream by Chris Van Allsburg. The theme of this book is taking care of what
God gave us to ensure a bright future for our children. This is so important to stress in a society
that would tear down a tree to put up a building or pave a road. If we can instill in our students the responsibility
that each of us has to maintain this beautiful world, and to take part in its
care, then perhaps we have found another road to peace and less of the path to
destruction.
