Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas 2nd Grade Families! What an amazing week we've had together! We enjoyed the Live Nativity at the Critter Barn, we had a great chapel on advent and we learned about the Love we have in JESUS, we put together snack packs for Hand2Hand and it was a blessing to deliver our snack packs to Hand2Hand and see how they bless others!  We also had lots of laughter and fun at our class Christmas Party! Thank you to Tami Schippers, Lindsey Brower, Jodi Genzink, and Lydia Genzink for planning and putting together everything needed for a FUN class Christmas party! The boys and girls are so excited to tell you all about all our adventures this week!

Homework:

No homework due after break!

Library books are due though, and your child was able to check out extra books to have over break. Please make sure all books are returned after break!

The kids cleaned out their lockers and their beach towels and maybe some missing sweatshirts and other items may be coming home! 

Hot Lunch Menu:

Here is the link for the hot lunch menu for January. Print it off if you would like to put it on your fridge! January 2023 Hot Lunch Menu

Activity Booklet: 
 There is an activity booklet in today's Friday Folder in case you hear the words "I'm   bored..." over break. :) Use it for travel or for some days when you need something quiet to do!

Stocking Stuffers?
I've noticed some kids running low on markers, crayons, colored pencils, and pencils in the last few weeks. Maybe an idea to fill some stockings with school supples! :)

Discover South Side 

Do you or any of your friends or extended family have a prospective preschooler or kindergartener? Are you looking into options for the 2023-2024 school year? We’ll be having our Discovery Night on January 10th from 6-7pm, and we’d love to have you come and explore South Side’s preschool and kindergarten programs! Since we prepare individually for each family visiting this Discovery Night, an RSVP is required.

If you are unable to make it to Discovery Night, you are still welcome to visit Holland Christian Schools in person and see things in action for yourself. Feel free to schedule a campus tour through our Admissions Department at admissions@hollandchristian.org or 616.820.2806. You can begin by filling out our INQUIRY FORM. Enrollment for the 2023-24 school year begins on February 1, 2023.


I pray that you will have a blessed time with your family this Christmas. Stay safe, and make lots of fun memories together! Take time to rest, be still, and celebrate the birth of our Savior! I have thoroughly enjoyed journeying through our Christmas devotions with your child as we have been waiting for the arrival of our Savior. 

Thank you for the ways you've blessed me in 2022--for your love, support, prayers, Christmas gifts, emails, and most of all for entrusting your 2nd grader under my care each day. It's been a great year, and our God is so faithful! I look forward to what God has in store for us all in 2023!

See you NEXT YEAR!

The most wonderful time of the year! It is, isn't it? We continue the hustle and bustle of all the things we need to get done at home and school, and it seems so crazy! We plan and plan and plan! God planned thousands of years in advance to make sure the wise men would see Jesus' star and find him, He planned thousands of years for Mary to bear a son. He has planned years in advance for his coming and the perfect timing of his return. God's timing is always better than outs. We continue to wait with anticipation for His coming again! Homework: Next week no new Homework. We will start up after break. Current*Purple Reading Slip and Math homework will be due Monday, December 16. *Library books are due Wednesday.

We had a fun visit from the 8th grade orchestra kids today! They played some songs for us and let the 2nd graders get up close to the instruments! They showed the 2nd graders how to play their instruments and then the 2nd graders played a song! Super fun! Look for pictures of this at the end of the blog. We had a super fun time with our grandparents/friends on Thursday! What a pleasure to see the beautiful connection between the generations! So much love to go around!
