Study Tip for the Week
Every year I have conversations with parents about motivating their kids to do well in school. Here are a few observations from The Weight of Glory by C.S. Lewis:
“The schoolboy beginning Greek grammar cannot look forward to his adult enjoyment of Sophocles as a lover looks forward to marriage or a general to victory. He has to begin by working for marks, or to escape punishment, or to please his parents, or, at best, in the hope of a future good which he cannot at present imagine or desire. His position, therefore, bears a certain resemblance to that of the mercenary; the reward he is going to get will, in actual fact, be a natural or proper reward, but he will not know that till he has got it.”

10th Grade Service
The 10th grade class has invested some time over the past few weeks to plant the bank north of the field house with plants that will help improve the overall look of this area. Thank you 10th graders for your fine work!

Label your Items: Last Friday we had our first Lost and Found sale. It is amazing how much is lost each month. Please consider writing your family name on clothing, lunchboxes, etc. so that we can return these items to their owners.
Elementary
Speech Meet: Friday, October 23. Selections should be memorized on October 9.
Midterms: Midterms will come home with the elementary students this Wednesday. Please sign the bottom portion and return by Friday.
Secondary
Midterms: Midterms will come home with the secondary students this Thursday.
Picture Day: Students in fall sports will have their pictures taken this Thursday after school. They will need their athletic uniform for this event.
Study Tip for the Week
One helpful way to teach your kids not to procrastinate is to ingrain in them the need to study at least Two Days Out. Two Days Out means studying for Friday’s test on Wednesday and Thursday instead of simply the night before. Studying for predictable subjects like spelling and Latin should be spread over the course of the entire week, but for other quizzes and small tests, especially in the secondary, Two Days Out helps form a pattern of planned investment rather than last minute gambling.

Elementary
Speech Meet: Elementary Speech Meet selections are due to the classroom teacher this Friday, September 18.
5th Grade Play: The 5th graders will be performing Gilgamesh and the Bull of Heaven this Friday morning. The show will open with a recitation by the 3rd grade at 8:35 in the auditorium. All are welcome to attend.
Secondary
Absences: Please be sure to contact the front office if your child is going to miss school for any reason.
Study Tip for the Week
Encourage your children (1st-9th grade) to begin memorizing their speech meet parts early. The dinner table is a great place to practice. Start by having each child read through his selection, beginning and ending with the title and author. The next night have them recite as much as they can, reading the remainder that has not been memorized yet. By the time the speech meet comes around, the whole family will be ready to hit the stage and perform!

Flu
Dear Parents,
Greetings. Well, it seems it’s our turn for losing students (and some staff) to the flu! Thankfully it doesn’t seem too severe, but still not much fun. We have no plans to close the school; even the nation’s government schools found last spring that closing didn’t change the number of cases much and served only to put students further behind in their classes.
In order to help limit the spread of cases, please remember:
1. If children have a fever of 100 or over, please keep them home. (Don’t even send them in to “get their books.” (Inevitably they encounter friends and teachers and, well, you can guess the rest…) Please have someone else retrieve their books/homework (ideally a sibling or friend, not the secretaries).
2. Please keep them home 24 hours AFTER the fever breaks and no longer needs medication to control.
3. Remind your children to wash their hands frequently and use the hand-sanitizers we have in each classroom.
Thank you for your cooperation and we are praying that we will all endure this season with grace, if not health.
Blessings,
Tom Garfield, Superintendent

Secondary
Secondary Back to School Night: This year we are trying something completely different for Secondary Back to School Night. On September 11 from 7:00-9:00 PM we will re-enact, in miniature, a secondary school day. This is an opportunity for parents to come and sit under the instruction of their child’s teachers as we move through all seven periods contained in a normal school day. Dessert will be provided afterward.
PS: At Back to School Night, parents of 7th and 8th graders will be playing volleyball in the gym during “7th period.” Any other parents who do not have a class to attend at this time are welcome to come up and join the fun. Please bring athletic shoes.
Study Tip for the Week
Busy dads need to have a system for staying in touch with how their kids are doing in school. Don’t wait for the midterm progress report to come home and tell you how things are going. Require your child to drop off all graded and returned school work at your spot at the dinner table right when he gets home. Before dinner you can look through the pile to check progress. This will also give you the information required to ask intelligent questions during dinner about the topics that are being covered in school.
