We teachers enjoyed a great day of inspiring speakers and
networking with teachers from other Christian schools yesterday.
I'm sure our students enjoyed their three day weekend!
We have a lot to cover as we approach the holiday season so
quickly! Please check with grade level pages frequently for
updates and information to keep up your grades.

The 7th grade field trip to NASA was a tremendous success. The weather
was great while we were at NASA so everyone got to ride Space Shot and
G Forces as often as their stomachs could handle! The students made CDS
proud with their good manners, attentiveness, and cooperation. Thanks to all
the parents who accompanied us for all they did to make the trip such a success.
Please remember that we are having our annual Food Drive through Nov. 13.
I haven't had very much response from my homeroom, but I am sure that will
pick up soon. Please do as much as you can to help those in need.
If you have not returned your child's picture proof, those were due last week.
All proofs must be turned in, even if you are not ordering pictures. Thanks!

Last week was busy and exciting with report cards, half day for
parent/teacher conferences, the Spirit Week pep rally on Friday,
and the return of the ducklings. Did you know that we hatched
duck eggs in an incubator in the lab?? Hart Hurley brought in
duck eggs several weeks ago. After waiting anxiously, we were
able to watch the miracle of baby ducks hatching. Hart's family
took care of the ducklings over fall break and then brought them
back for us to continue watching their growth and development.
This has been such fun for the students of CDS. You should come
see our trio of feathered friends!
This week, the 7th graders are looking forward to their field trip on
Friday to the NASA Space Center in Huntsville, Alabama. A letter of
reminders will be sent home in Tuesday Informer Envelopes. Please
pray for clear, warm weather. (It must be 50 degrees or above for at
least 2 hours before the outdoor simulator rides can be operational.)
Please check your child's grade level page for assignments for the week.

Welcome back to school tomorrow! I hope your fall break

Please check your child's grade level for assignments for this week.
Monday, Oct. 5
I'm back and feeling sooo much better. Thanks for your prayers.
Please check your child's grade level for assignments for this
week. Have a wonderful fall break next week.

Parents, I am afraid I have picked up "the bug". I am feeling just
awful with body aches and fever. I will not be at school Monday,
Sept. 28. I have sent lesson plans for the sub but will not be
posting specific assignments for the week yet. I want to see how
tomorrow goes, if I am going to be back as school Tuesday or when,
and then I will be updating the information here and on the grade
level pages. The sub will be announcing homework, if any, for
Monday night.
Fire prevention posters are due Monday (this was
an extra credit assignment, not required). The sub will take them
up and they will be judged, if not by me, by some one I designate.
I would appreciate your prayers for a quick recovery for myself and
any CDS students who are sick right now. Thank you.

Parents, I posted homework assignments last week for some
grades on Friday, and then was reminded that many students
were going to Collision, so those assignments were delayed
until Monday. No homework had to be done over the weekend.
