Parents:

     We had a great 1st grading period and I pray that the success that many felt will continue even as this quarter gets very busy!

     1. We are beginning our BIG research paper on Monday, Nov. 10. Please look for the note to sign next week and a list of due dates. It is important each child keeps up with the weekly deadlines in order to receive the best score possible.

     2. The Civil War is our history and literature subject next which will include a novel entitled Silent Thunder, a Civil War stamp album project (more info to follow) and many activities.

     With the beginning of basketball and cheerleading season I am stressing the importance of keeping ahead of AR goals so that no one is rushing at the last minute! Please have your child read every night possible unless it is a busy night with games and homework.

     Finally, please join me in congratulating our CLS Varsity Volleyball team! They will compete in the STATE tournament this weekend in Springfield. The team enters the tournament with an undefeated season (35-0). We are blessed to have these young ladies representing our school on and off the court and pray God's blessings on our weekend. I will not be here Friday as I am leaving with the team at 7:00 a.m. but the students will have work to do and will be well-supervised.

     Thanks for everything you do to support CLS and especially the support and guidance you give your child-it makes a huge difference in his/her life!
