Prince of Peace School

Dear Parents,  

The children are getting into the swing of being back in school.  They have been working hard in the classroom.  We have presented the Five Great Lessons, which set the groundwork for the all the lessons we teach in the classroom.  Friday we celebrated the closing of the Olympic Games with the school.  The seventh and eighth grade and MII organized the Prince of Peace Olympics. The children enjoyed competing with and cheering for their schoolmates.  

Thanks to all the parents who attended last Thursday's meet the teacher evening.  It was good to see and hear from everyone!  At the meeting parents suggested that we e-mail the parent letter, along with posting it on-line.  If I don't already have your e-mail address please send me a quick e-mail at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it   Unless you specify that you need a hard copy, this will be the last paper version of our parent letter.  

Friday the second and third grade students will take their pre-tests for spelling.  Their words will come home in their homework folder so they can practice at home.  Some ways to practice are helping your child make flashcards, asking your child to write the words as you give a practice test, asking your child to spell the words aloud, helping your child put the words in alphabetical order, asking your child to write a story using all the spelling words, or asking your child to ask you the words (you spell them aloud).  The first spelling test will be next Thursday (September 11). 

There is no school on Monday, for the Labor Day Holiday.  Please help your child to remember his or her water bottle on Tuesday.  

Libby and Tommy Roebker, Joey Eckler, and Elena Alcantara have signed up for Show and Tell this Friday.

Have a great week,

Kate and Sara
