I hope everyone has enjoyed their weekend, I apologize for the late post! Last week was quite short with our 2 snow days, and I was also gone on Wednesday. Our substitute said the students did amazing. I hope everyone got the news well about our snow days. If you do not know already, there is a way on VSD website to sign up for notifications. I will also try my best to text out any schedule changes.

In Bible, we will finish up our story of Jesus's birth and our Jesse Tree. The Jesse tree tells about all of the stories leading up to Jesus's birth starting at creation. It's fun to listen to the students retell all of the stories we have learned so far!

Keep the Sabbath holy.

Well I hope everything goes as planned this next week, I did see chances of snow in the forecast so we will see. Have a great night!
