Provisional Accreditation

We have now received provisional accreditation. This means that for all of the students grades 9th through 12th, the credits earned while attending our school will go towards graduation. All other schools must accept our credits. This is a wonderful thing for our school. The complete accreditation process takes 3 years to complete.

Learning about Africa. (Cont.)

The picture was made out of banana leaves.

Learning about Africa

Kookie Tanner and her daughters, Joylyn and Arrowyn came and visited some of our classes and brought with them photos of their recent trip to Africa. Arrowyn spent two months working in an orphange in Kenya. They showed us great handmade items and told us about the culture and people. They even taught us that "Jambo" means hello in Swahili and taught us a song that is sung to welcome visitors.

I was walking down the hall this morning and was struck by how beautiful it sounds to hear the children in their classrooms saying the Pledge of Allegiance. I love the opportunity we have to teach the children to be proud of this country and of the principles it was founded upon.

New Teacher

We would like to welcome back Mrs. Karen Caldwell. She has returned to our school to teach the 4-6 grade class. She teaches in the mornings and we are greatful to have her back with us. She is one of the original founders of Heritage Foundation School.

The science fair will be held February 10th. All students who want to participate are welcome. Along with their project, they need to submitt a poster. There will be a chance for parents to come and view the projects from 6-7 p.m. that evening.

There will also be a book fair at that time with the Usborne books. The book fair is open February 7th through the 10th from 2:30 to 4:00. It will also be open during the evening of the 10th.

The preschool had a great month! It is fun to watch the children so anxiously engaged in their works. In their language groups they have been working on the sounds “o,” ”g”, and “f” this month. The first week the children cooked their own griddle cakes for the “g” sound and last week we traced their feet and made funny feet for the “f” sound. The sounds they have learned this year are: a, c, d, f, g, h, l, m, n, o, p, s and t. They have also been sending home mystery bags.

December 22^nd they enjoyed their Christmas dinner with soup and breadsticks. They had works for the children to help prepare the meal. They chopped the carrots, celery, and potatoes for the soup and they also rolled out their own breadsticks.They have enjoyed learning about the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ this month and when they return from the Christmas break they will be learning about Africa.
