Picture Apologies For Dog Days

All of those pictures I took at Monday and Wednesday's Dog Days appear to have not been taken at all. When I opened my camera to take out the memory card...there was no memory card to take out. Not sure I understand how that could happen since my camera doesn't take pictures without a card, but I must have taken two days worth of pictures that weren't pictures at all. Very ticked at myself!!!

Regardless...I know the kids really enjoyed meeting all of your dogs! The purpose of having your dogs come to visit was to give the 6th graders the opportunity to share the love they have for their dogs. The main character in our story Where the Red Fern Grows truly loves his dogs, and his dogs love and are incredibly dedicated to him. What a great opportunity to be able to share this gift of God that we are given through the pets we are blessed with.

6th Grade Is A Welcome Addition To Our Track Team!

Thanks to all of the additional track coaches that made this possible!

"Dog Days"

We are currently reading Where the Red Fern Grows in 6th grade literature class. This is a story about a boy and his dogs, and their amazing love and dedication to each other. As a culminating activity for this novel, we will be having "Dog Days", which will allow your child to bring their dogs to school to meet the rest of the class. Please look for a sheet to come home explaining more about this special event. Feel free to join us, even if you are not a dog owner.

Thank you!

A few changes to our schedule

· The Monday group will leave at 9:00. The Tuesday group will leave at 9:30. Everyone should bring a bag lunch to eat when we get there.

· No electronics will be allowed

· Please bring a Bible, sleeping bag/pillow and personal care items. A “what to bring to camp” list is posted outside Mrs. Rohleder's door.

· Please bring an extra pair of shoes, it is very muddy. Along with warm clothes for campfire

· The Camp store will be open briefly before we depart. Check the website for items/prices

· All medications must be labeled with directions for the nurse to dispense

I'm stopping at the bus company next week to look at the luggage rack and see how we will fit. Many parents will be driving with our stuff too.

Any questions or things I may have missed?

Educational field trip to Camp Phillip

Educational field trip to Camp Phillip

Dear Parents,

There will be 9 students per adult chaperone in each cabin. The cabins have flush toilets and bunk beds. We plan on leaving at 8:30 and should arrive around 11:00. There will be a brief orientation before our sack lunch. After lunch we will prepare for the ropes course. The 5/6th grades will be doing the low ropes course and the 7/8th will be doing the high ropes. If they choose not to climb they will be there to encourage others and observe. We will also participate in outdoor games such as Paul Ball and disc golf. After dinner there will be geo caching and Bible study, campfire, sing a long and bedtime (10:00). In the morning after breakfast we will clean the cabins and have time for a game or two before packing up and returning to St. Jacobi. Camp Phillip asks that no electronics be brought along (except for a camera). The chaperones will have phones in case you need to reach us. I am asking chaperones to car pool if possible to carry bedding, luggage and our sack lunches. If you are willing to drive please let me know so I can help with the car pool list. If you have any other questions please contact me at school (425-2040) or home (427-6153)

Our goals for camp are to develop a stronger faith, encourage cooperation and teamwork and enjoy Gods creation. We look forward to a great trip.
