Reminder:  Dana Perkins and his puppet friends will be joining us for chapel tomorrow.  Students may bring their favorite stuffed animal!

UPDATE:  Friday, March 16th is the day before St. Patrick’s Day.  It is scheduled as a Jean’s Day/School Spirit Day.  We are adding the option of “Green Day,” also.

Do you realize that February ends on Wednesday?  Amazing!

March is full of activity, so please keep an ear to the ground.  There will certainly be updates to help keep everyone organized.

March Crazy Days starts Thursday with Hat and Shades Day.  Friday is a Free Jean’s Day with the option of dressing with School Spirit.  A complete calendar of events will go home this week.  Events include Make Your Own Sundae, Clashing Clothes Day, and Granparent’s Day! 

Upcoming Chapels are coming together.  This week Mrs. Elliott is organizing a “Bible Charades” activity that will involve small groups.  Next week (March 7th) special guest, Dana Perkins, will be bringing a chapel message with the help of his puppet friends.

Lastly, I wanted to remind families that there will be “Open Doors” every Tuesday in March, April, and May.  This will be a time for current or prospective families to observe the classrooms, tour the building, and meet the staff.  Calling ahead will help us prepare.  You are each encouraged to come observe and to spread the word to friends and family.

Today at chapel, we sang “Happy Birthday” to three students, OVCS style!  It is always fun to make each member of our school family feel special.

Our dear friend, Pastor Jonathan Marshall, presented a meaningful chapel message on the “greatest commandment” to “Love the Lord God with all our heart, soul, and mind.”  My favorite part was the example of his dad helping him learn how to repair a broken lamp.

Parents, remember that tomorrow night (Thursday, February 16th) is an important informational meeting.  We will discuss possible dress code improvements, as well as looking ahead to next school year.  Re-enrollment packets will be available at the end of the meeting, along with deadlines and financial information.

Note:  We are still accepting the Parent Surveys!  Many have been received, but not all.  Please take a moment to fill out the survey and return it to the office (or via e-mail).  If you need a new copy, please let us know.

Today’s guest chapel speaker was Pastor Ira Hall.  He made the students laugh AND think hard!  His theme involved storing up treasures in heaven.  Ira used his recent trip to the Dominican Republic as part of an object lesson that helped support his message to the students.  Enjoy some pictures of this special chapel time.

We have a strong line-up of chapel speakers for the next couple of months.

Pastor Ira Hall is coming this week (Feb.8th)

Looking Ahead:  We are working on rescheduling a chapel time with Ben Wu (who we had to reschedule due to a storm delay) and scheduling a chapel time with Christine Ming from the Root Cellar.

Just a reminder:  Family Satisfaction Surveys went home last Friday via e-mail.   We have already begun to receive completed surveys, which is both helpful and encouraging.  Thanks.  We would like to have all surveys completed and returned by February 13th.

Looking Ahead:  There will be a OVCS Family Information Night on Thursday, February 16th at 6:30pm.  All returning families should plan on attending.

On Wednesday the 1st through 4th grade students participated in a public speaking workshop!  It was a great day and lots of good techniques were taught.  Students were able to put what they learned into practice with a short speech to end the workshop!  On Thursday, the middle school students took part in a similar workshop.  Thanks to Johnny and Tim for making learning fun and for giving of your time!   *Check out all the pics under “pictures” on this site!
