Happy October! (almost!)

We've learned so much already, but the year is just getting started!
Progress reports come home this week and conference day is coming up next Friday.
Please call the office if you desire to meet.  I'd be happy to discuss your child's progress and how we can best make this a successful school year for you and your child.

Math tutoring will start this Thursday.  All students are invited, none are required.

I LOVE teaching your children.  Thank you for giving me the opportunity!

Rejoice and live in God's grace this week!

You were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers,  but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. 

1Peter 1:18-19

Good evening!  I hope your evening is less eventful than mine.  After a car that wouldn't start in Smithfield and no house keys when I arrived home, I'm about ready to call it a night!

Tomorrow's History Test will be rescheduled for Thursday.  We will review this week and be ready!
Students will take an OPEN BOOK quiz tomorrow to help them prepare.

I will be out Tuesday spending time with my sweet Mom who came up from Georgia, but I'll still be praying for those fantastic 6th graders!

Blessings to you!

They who dwell in the ends of the earth stand in awe of Your signs;

You make the dawn and the sunset shout for joy. 

Psalm 65:8

Praise God for another week beginning at Hampton Christian.  To top off His already wonderful plans, it's Spiritual Emphasis Week!  If you're able to spend some time with us in the morning from about 8:20-9:30, we'd be happy to see you as we could partake in the Word together as Pastor Das brings it to us.

Students have already been bringing in donations for N.Y.S.U.M.- how terrific!  Mrs. Stewart's classes always take up a collection and it truly is a blessing to the team's recipients.  To find out more about what NYSUM does, visit: www.nysum.org

I praise and exalt and glorify the King of heaven because everything he does is right and all of His ways are just!

Daniel 4:37

Well..... They're right!  Your children are telling the truth.  I just cancelled Math homework for this evening.  (Now, you can get ahead and do it for tomorrow night.....)

Praise God!  He has been among us this morning in chapel for sure!  I mean, I know He's never far from any one of us.  (Acts 17:27) It's just that this morning, whole scores of students from 6th -12th grade came forward to receive prayer about wanting God to "make" them.  For the Holy Spirit to indwell in them, for the students to be able to give their whole heart to God, whatever He may call them to do and however He calls then to live.

Pastor Ralls spoke this morning and truly touched the hearts of our 6th grade!

So, our schedule is a bit off today.  We did have math class, but haven't had a chance to complete practice problems, and I would like to do them with them in class before I set them off on their own.

I pray each one of your children knows the height and depth and breadth of God's love for them!

"Before I formed you, I KNEW you."  Jeremiah 1:5

1 Corinthians 2:9-10

New King James Version (NKJV)

⁹ But as it is written:

“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,

Nor have entered into the heart of man

The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”^[a]

¹⁰ But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.

I continue to wait expectantly (and celebrate everyday!) for what God is doing and what He'll continue to do in the lives of our children.  We're off to such a strong start.  I can tell, you've laid the foundation well, Parents!

Please feel welcome to join us for Back-to-School night on Tuesday at 7p.m.

You'll get a little more insight on what your child's day looks like, hear about grading, classroom procedures and have the opportunity to ask questions, see student work, and fellowship with other parents.

I hope to see you there!

p.s.- If it makes a difference in what your child wears to school tomorrow- we're PAINTING!! It's washable, but still.  They should be in dress code while not in "Sunday best" if possible!

I love teaching 6th grade!
