The cold and flu season is here... 
If you feel your child is sick or might be sick, we ask you to please keep them at home.
If your child's temperature is 99 degrees or higher, it is considered a low-grade temperature. Please keep your child at home as whatever your child has is now considered contagious.
Is your child very tired? Does s/he have a dry cough (as opposed to one that's mucus-y)? Is his/her appetite decreased? Any aches or chills?
If your child shows any of these symptoms, we courage you to contact your local physician and discuss your child's symptoms.

"National Make A Difference Day" at Calvary this Thursday, October 30th
This year, the school is helping local needy families in our area by "walking for cans." All of the donations from this event will be given to a local food bank. On October 30th, each class will have a thirty-minute period to walk a course on the school grounds. The course is about 1/5 of a mile and takes an adult about 3 minutes to walk. For each lap completed your child will receive the specified item (money or canned goods) pledged by his/her sponsor.
Between now and October 30th, we encourage you to help your child get sponsors for this activity. Ask your family, friends, and neighbors to help with sponsoring this event.
After the October 30th Walk for Cans, please collect the pledges and bring them to your child's classroom no later than Wednesday, November 19, 2014. Several parents will be needed to help with the walk. If you can help, please call the school off (510) 278-2598.

In addition, you can e-mail your teacher at any time and set-up an appointment, which would work better for you, the parent, the teacher, and the students.

Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life." ~Philippians 4:6-7 (MSG)
