Be sure to
get some sponsors for the Bowlathon
coming up on this Friday, April 17th. I have been disappointed to hear rumblings of
students who are thinking that this is optional. It is NOT! If you do not raise $20 in sponsorship for
the bowlathon, there is still school for those left behind. They will also need to bring a lunch as the Hot
Dog Barbeque is only for those who have the $20 sponsorship. If a student is unable to attend the
bowlathon due to an appointment or acceptable excuse, then I would still
encourage them to try and raise sponsorship for the school. The bottom line is
that we are raising money to help support those MANY FAMILIES who
require financial aid. The objective of
this fundraiser is NOT for students to ask their parents for money. It is to earn the money or ask people outside
our school community if they would like to support the school. Many people are willing to do that. Even if they choose public schooling, they
support the belief that families should have the choice to send their children
to a Christian School regardless of their finances.
Weekly Challenge: How did the
abstaining from some aspect of technology go last week? This week, the
challenge is to ask at least one person outside of the school community to
sponsor them. (There are 3 days to do
this – Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. The
challenge is to ask, not get a donation, so if you ask 3 different people on 3
different days, and get 3 “No thank you’s”, then you have still met the
challenge.)
KCC Relate Youth – Come on over to Mrs. Robideau’s house for
yummy soup before Youth on Tuesday. We
will be doing the Bottle Run beforehand so bring your bottles in that day. Thanks!
Extra Math Help – From 3:00 to 4:00 every Wednesday
in the Library.
Student Government Spring Formal – Friday,
April 17th at 7:00 p.m. in the KCC Ministry Center. Tickets are $4.00 in advance or $5.00 at the
door.
