Light Reading

Just a few notes and calendar fun as we look out over the next few weeks and months!  

Chapel in February

...has a few changes. 

2/9 will be a virtual chapel led by me to be played in classrooms. 

2/23 will led by Devon. Our new 2:30 time conflicts with his teaching schedule. Could we please go BACK to our 8:35 time so Devon can lead us in learning/praise & worship? 

2/9 is Hundreds Day for anyone who is counting! Nothing required on this day but certainly fun to be grateful for! 

Tuesday, 2/22/2022 is another unique day for students who are learning place value, number patterns and God's faithfulness generation after generation after generation after generation.....that's a lot of generations! Nothing required but unique in the lives of these students! 

P/T Conferences

....3/28 and 3/30 from 4:00-8:00

Please copy and paste in your blog if you are first through fourth grade (really just Angie and Emily but it's nice for you to see what grades this impacts through our district):

TULIP TIME CHOICES

In 2018, Tulip Time reframed their mission statement to read “Mission Statement: To celebrate Holland’s tulips, Dutch heritage and community.” To better align ourselves with their mission statement as well as with the goals here at Holland Christian, our Rose Park and Forest School students will be given two options for dressing up and walking in the the 2022 Kinderparade. More details will be forthcoming as we get closer to Tulip Time, but we want you to be aware of the options well in advance of the Tulip Time season: Our students from Rose Park and Forest School will be given the option of walking in either our new “tulip” section of the parade or our “Dutch heritage” section. The whole of our two groups walking together will be a celebration of our “community.”

• If your 1st or 2nd grade Forest student chooses to opt into the “tulip” section of our parade, your child will design and construct his or her own tulip to carry and then dress as a gardener based around our “Rooted” t-shirt. This gardener costume might include gardening boots and gloves, overalls, a wide-brimmed hat, etc. Anything you have handy at home that helps your child look like a busy gardener tilling the tulips will fit the part perfectly!
• Students who opt into the “Dutch heritage” portion of our student body will wear their own Dutch costume and carry fun parade props.

All of our students from Rose Park and Forest School will be walking together as one big community in the aforementioned subsets. More details about logistics, costumes and timing will be coming soon. Don’t hesitate to email Miska with questions or wonderings at mrynsburger@hollandchristian.org.
