I hope you all had a wonderful 4 day weekend. It was very restful and relaxing. Our family had lots of fun being together not only doing family things like going to the library, going to Science World to see the Lego exhibit, cleaning the house and yard, and going Geocaching. It was a lot of fun. If you have never heard of geocaching, please come ask me about it. It is a great free activity for the whole family that is like a treasure hunt.

It was also a great opportunity to talk to the kids about the awesome gift God gave us when Jesus died for our sins. We had numerous opportunities to talk to the kids about Easter as they still don’t quite have the capacity to fully understand the significance of all that happened.

Of course, it sort of puts a wrench into the week. Mondays are hard as you sort of have to just jump right into things. And there are so many things to jump into this week.

First of all, it is Highroad Knights Day tomorrow. Students can come to school wearing their Highroads garb or their uniforms.

Track and Field practices start tomorrow after school for those students who received a permission form and handed it back. We will meet on the edge of the field by the school doors at 3:15 and go to about 3:50, with students likely ready to go at 4:00.

Service Day is on Wednesday and our class will be going out in the afternoon to collect litter along the sidewalks. I will be sending home permission forms tomorrow as well as a request for any parent volunteers who wish to come along.
