100 Days of School

How do you celebrate the 100th day of first grade? Start by reading Psalm 100.

Mr. Lofthus' first graders traced and cut out a total of 100 footprints and made a path out of their room.

Math lessons included number sentences that equaled 100. They each counted out 100 pieces of Froot Loops® cereal and sorted by color.

They tallied how many minutes of reading they did in one day and were only 10 minutes short of 100.

Don't miss Jerry Pinkney

The One-Wall Gallery (more commonly known as the entry hall in Building 3) is now featuring the work of children's book illustrator Jerry Pinkney. Known primarily for his unique watercolors, Pinkney is a multiple award winner, and deservedly so. His colorful illustrations consistenly deliver a beauty and dignity that is too rare in kid's books today.

A Special thank you from the Bamford family

Dear Mason County Christian School,
Thank you for the generous gift you gave to buy and ship rice to the people in our village. They are so thankful!

Mr. Bamford was able to fly 2 airplane loads of rice to the village in February which totaled 1,200 lbs. Thanks to your gifts and the gifts of others, we will be able to send 7 more plane loads to help the people.

While Mr. Bamford was in the village, someone gave him a small bag of locally grown rice from what he was able to salvage from his field. When he handed the bag to Mr. Bamford, seven grains of rice spilled onto the table. The man noticed and carefully picked each one up to return to the bag. Each grain of rice is valuable and the Isnag are thankful for your help to them.

God bless,
Heidi for the Bamford family

Welcome new students!

This week we welcomed the Faust family to MCCS. Dan and Mary have two children attending--Rachel is in Mr. Endicott's class (Yea, another girl!) and Jotham is in Mrs. Settle's room. The Fausts have home-schooled up until now, so this will be a big adjustment; thanks to those of you who have already stepped up and offered to help with transportation.
