Superintendent News<br />
By Dr. Joseph Beeson<br />
As I was reading a book titled The Life God Rewards, the importance of our treasure leaped into my mind. What is your<br />
greatest treasure? I would venture to say most of you would say, “family or spouse, or children.” I think that idea is the<br />
first that comes to mind. My concern with so many families is that even though they would say “children,” their actions do<br />
not confirm that. Rather, their actions would say, “work, sports activities, or hobbies.” I challenge each one to remember<br />
the idea that love is often best spelled “time.” Spend time with your children. Show them you love them. You have shown<br />
you value them as treasure by assuring they are sitting under godly teachers during the school day, now recommit to<br />
spend time with them when they are not at school.<br />

Preschool - 6 th Grade Information<br />
By Mrs. Stock<br />
Dear Families,<br />
I was so very privileged to watch our students take part in the Matthew 25 challenge this past week. The insight they<br />
gained into the plight of children in other countries was priceless. My prayer is that their hearts would continue to<br />
reflect a desire to serve others sacrificially!<br />
If your family would like to continue the relationship with the child on their lanyard please have them bring the<br />
prayer card in to either their teacher or myself so we can get your sponsorship set up.<br />
A few reminders<br />
• This Friday is an early dismissal due to ACSI Speech Meet. Lunch will not be served. After care is available for<br />
those who are in need.<br />
• Friday, March 1 st is Dr. Seuss day! Please see class newsletters for more information.<br />
