Weekly Highlights
WHEN I LOOK BACK at the changes that have taken place in the last 12 months I am astounded. We have come a long way as a school. But we have just a few more miles to go before we sleep. All of our high school students have important exams in the next week and we must all do our part to remind them to finish well.
NEXT FRIDAY December 15th will be needed to make-up four high school classes that we missed during our move. Here is the list of classes that will meet next Friday:
Biology Lab All Periods
Calculus 3rd Period
Chemistry Lab 3rd & 4th Periods
Latin ½ 4th Period
No other classes will meet that day.
OTHER COMING EVENTS and important dates on the calendar:
· Saturday Morning Prayer – See “INVITATION TO PRAYER” below
· Make-up Friday – December 15th – See “NEXT FRIDAY” above.
· Christmas Break – December 16th through January 2nd
ANNUAL GIVING – You should have received a letter from Coram Deo Academy President Rodney Marshall, inviting you to share resources and make a contribution. Please do not hesitate to telephone Louise Henry, CDA development director, at 800.465.0561 x 166, if you have any questions about contributions.
INVITATION TO PRAY – As we make plans and work to develop our Flower Mound campus, we seek God’s direction. We invite you to join us in prayer, both in your own home at your own time and together on Saturday mornings. The next gathering is tomorrow (Dec. 9) then resuming Saturday’s after the Christmas break beginning again Jan. 6.
