When the winds rage and the seas roar, God is in control, holding each of us where we are. He sees us, and He knows us. As a reminder, He tells us:
“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.” —Psalm 46:10–11
Here are a few reminders as we continue through our week:
IOWA Testing (May 4–7) Day one of Iowa Testing is complete—three more to go! We ask that you help prepare your student by ensuring they get a good night’s sleep and eat a healthy breakfast each morning. This greatly supports focus and overall performance.
National Day of Prayer (May 7) The National Day of Prayer is observed annually on the first Thursday in May. It is a time set aside for individuals across the country to reflect, pray, and come together in unity. This tradition was established by President Harry S. Truman and later designated as an annual observance by President Ronald Reagan.
This is a meaningful opportunity to celebrate our unity in Jesus Christ and our freedom to pray openly in this country. We invite you, as you drop off your students on Thursday morning, to stay and join us for a short time of prayer around the flagpole as we begin our day.
Pastries with Parents (May 12) You are all invited to join your student(s) for Pastries with Parents as we honor you for your hard work and dedication in raising and shaping these amazing children. Parenthood is one of the most important callings given by God.
This small gesture is simply a way for us to celebrate your daily dedication and sacrifice. The event will be held in the lunchroom from 7:15–8:00 a.m.
RSVPs have been sent home with your students—please return them by this Thursday so we can be sure to have plenty of treats for everyone.
Call to Prayer We have been in the process of moving to a new location this coming summer for about five months. Leases have been signed, permits submitted, and committees formed, but we are currently at a standstill. We are waiting on final clearance from the State Fire Marshal and NV Energy before moving forward.
While this has been a long process, we are committed to trusting in God’s perfect timing. We ask that you join us in prayer—that our will would align with His, that He would reveal Himself clearly through this process, and that we would honor His timing and direction for His school.
As always, thank you for your time, your dedication to your child’s education, and your continued support of our school. All glory and honor to God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Blessings, Mrs. Mitchell
