| Important Meeting regarding Calvary Christian School this Sunday, March 26, 2017 As you know, members of Calvary Lutheran Church are voting this Sunday, March 26, after the 9:00 a.m. worship service, about whether to allow Calvary Christian School to remain open for the 2017-2018 school year. Please keep the outcome of this meeting in prayer, as well as for the church, school, and everyone that will be affected. We also encourage you to attend church and the meeting at Calvary this Sunday to show your support for the school. If a large crowd of parents show up for church and the meeting, this will send a powerful statement to church members, many of whom have made sacrifices for years and wonder if parents have the same concerns for the school and church. Let's demonstrate how much we care by showing up to demonstrate support for saving our school
Remember: This Sunday, March 26, 2017 at 9:00 a.m.
Thank you, Rachel Scott and the CFA Team Members Note: Letter and proposal to follow in a separate e-mail. | RE-ENROLLMENT FOR 2017-18 Re-enrollment forms and re-enrollment fees: $250 Tuition increase is for tuition only and it is annually, not per month.

JOSTENS' - Memory Book |  MAKE HAND-WASHING A HABIT! *MAKE HAND-WASHING A HABIT ~ Kids who wash their hands at least four times a day have a 24 percent fewer sick days from colds and flue, and 51 percent fewer sick days due to stomach illnesses (Amer Public Hlth Assoc).
Washing your hands with soap and water is far better and healthier than washing your them with any hand sanitizer. Use hand sanitizer when you are not able to use soap and water.
Teach kids to scrub their whole hands - up to the wrists and under the fingernails - and to do it long enough to sing the ABCs or "Happy Birthday" all the way through. A timer works well, too.
| CCS - HEALTH & MEDICAL INFORMATION  *COLD AND FLU SEASON ARE 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 99.6 or higher, it is considered a low-grade temperature. Please keep your child at home as whatever your child has is now considered contagious. A child must be FEVER FREE (NO fever), no diarrhea, and no vomiting, WITHOUT any medication (i.e. Acetaminophen/Tylenol, Ibuprofen/Motrin) in their system for at least 24 hours before they can return to school. Important steps to help stop the spread of germs: - Stay home while sick and limit contact with others
- Cover your nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing with your sleeve or disposable tissue
- Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water, or use an alcohol-based sanitizer
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth
If you have any questions regarding your child's symptoms, please contact your physician's office and/or doctor.
Thank you!

Some students could even have such a severe reaction to nuts that it becomes life-threatening. Please do not send your child to school with any snacks or lunches that have peanuts or are from a nut type tree. These types of snacks and lunches might be reserved for something special, like a special treat at home. *BE ON TIME/PUNCTUALITY ~ It is important for all of our children to learn that getting to school on time, turning in assignments thoroughly completed and within the allotted days, and always being prepared are not only vital for school but important elements of success as an adult.  * REST & NUTRITION ~ Make sure your child gets adequate rest every night and a nourishing breakfast each morning. Your child needs a good fruit break and lunch each day. Please do not send soft drinks or sugary treats. *LOST & FOUND ~ Please check the Lost & Found bin and recover your child's clothes, or other valuables. Please write the name of your child/student on clothes and valuables in case they get misplaced.

| "Resting in the Faithfulness of God" When plans are frustrated or life just seems to fall apart in some way, people often wonder, Has God deserted me? Why hasn't He answered my prayers? The Bible offers encouragement for such times by assuring us of the Father's faithfulness: "Know therefore that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God, who keeps His covenant and His lovingkindness to a thousandth generation with those who love Him and keep His commandments" (Deut 7:9).
Five attributes of God make this possible. First, He is omniscient, which means He knows everything, including our every need, thought, frailty, desire, and life situation in the past, present, and future. Next, the Lord is omnipotent, or all-powerful, so nothing is too hard for Him (Jer. 32:17). Then, He is omnipresent--since He exists everywhere at once, He is never beyond reach.
In addition, our heavenly Father cannot lie. Everything that He says is true and reliable. And lastly, God is unchanging. Our circumstances and the world around us may seem to be in a constant state of flux, and the Lord may even modify the way He chooses to interact with mankind in different generations. But His character is always the same. So when Scripture tells us that God is faithful, we can rest confidently upon that promise.
Circumstances can be painful. But even when situations seem overwhelming, believers can trust that our sovereign Lord knows all, is in control, and lovingly works everything for His children's good. We can rest confidently knowing that the unchanging God of all creation is taking care of us.
 Please continue to keep Calvary Christian School - the faculty, staff, students, volunteers, and parents in your prayers throughout the school year and for 2017-18.
