8Above
all, keep loving one another
earnestly, since love covers a multitude
of sins. 9Show hospitality to one
another without grumbling. 10As each
has received a gift, use it to serve one
another, as good stewards
of God’s varied grace.”
1Peter4:8-10
A Note from the Principal:
We made it through the week of snow
and Terra-Nova testing. I think
everyone who missed testing has been
caught up. The goal now is to have the
test sent off for scoring by Wednesday
morning. We receive on-line results
within two weeks of them receiving the
test. For the first time this year your
student’s result will be available for you
to look at on-line. Instructions for
accessing the results will be
forthcoming. Paper versions of the
report will be sent home with report
cards at the end of the school year.
Thank you to for making sure your child
was at school. I know for some it was a
trying time with all the snow.

Miller Farms Fund Raising
Program
Miller Farms is offering us the
opportunity to sign-up 10 or more
members to join in their CSA
(Community Supported Agriculture)
program. For participating, we will
receive a 10% refund on the gross total
of members referred. Each member
can sign-up for a half share at $400.00
or a full share at $700.00 for 20 weeks
of fresh, wonderful Colorado produce. If
you breakdown the cost per week, a half
share is only $20 a week and a full
share in only $35. A half share of
produce is a half bushel worth of
veggies, and a full share would be a full
bushel, or two half bushel baskets. The
membership also includes passes for
four to their Fall Festival and their
Haunted Adventure. If interested,
please stop by the school office.
