October Events

Spruce Lake

Another wonderful time at Spruce Lake.  Seventh graders learned the importance of communication in their challenge courses.  Pictures will be coming soon.

Parent Teacher Conferences - October 21 & 22

Parent-Teacher-Student Conferences take place for parents of students in grades 4-8 on October 21 (after school & evening) and 22 (daytime until about 5:00 PM). Midterm notes will be given to parents at that time. You will receive an email from the office about signing up for an appointment. Please take note that on Friday, October 22, there is no school for students in grades 4-8, due to conferences, but school is in session for younger children. Please also note that for grades 6-8, students do attend conferences with their parents and participate.

October Service Project

Our worship theme for the month of October is "Buildings and Builders." During this month we will partner with the Esmirna School for the Deaf in San Pedro Sula, Honduras. One hundred deaf students attend the day school and their afterschool programs serve more than 250 poor children in the local neighborhood. As the number of children wanting to attend the school has grown, they have started building additional classrooms. One way Mustard Seed students can help this growing school is to provide school supplies!

Collection has started and it will continue through Thursday, October 28.

Each grade level at MSS will collect a specific item:

K: new boxes of crayons
1st: crayola markers
2nd: glue sticks
3rd: kids scissors
4th: tape (rolls of masking tape and scotch tape)
5th: one subject spiral notebooks
6th: pens
7th: pencils
8th: pocket folders

School Picture Day October 18th

Once again this year, Irvin Simon Photographers will come to Mustard Seed to take individual and class group photographs. Please make note of the date--Monday, October 18.
