Our lost and found is located in the SACC hallway. If you would like to check it out during school hours, please come to the main entrance. If you would like to look through it from 6-8am or 4-6pm please go through the SACC entrance...all coats, jackets, and belongings that are unclaimed will be donated to the Agape House over Christmas Break.
*If there are warm days that pop up during the next few weeks, we will move it outside for everyone to browse. Teachers do take classes by the lost and found frequently but these are still unclaimed!

November's Pillar Focus: Creativity
Family Creativity Ideas:
Some ideas for the month of November to make more memories this November:
- Use driveway chalk to create an imaginary town.Each person creates their own house.
- Together you create stores and places to go.
- Have a heart connection weekend
- Go “off-the-grid” with all electronics put away, including TV.
- Go on a “see-where-it-leads” adventure.
- Get in the car and at each corner let kids take turns telling the driver which way to turn.
- Look through pictures and photo albums.
- Go to the public library
- Let the kids plan and execute a meal as they are able.
- Go bowling as a family.
- Try fun taste tests or eating/cooking challenges.
- Pick another family or household to surprise with love.
- Engage your kids on how to surprise them best:
- You could make signs to plaster all over their yard that say things like, “You’re the best!”, “We like you!”, or “We’re thinking of how cool you are!”
- You could anonymously buy groceries, ring the doorbell, and disappear.
- Help your kids experience that it feels good to love others.
- Have breakfast for dinner!
- Build a fort together
- This could be with furniture and blankets, or with sticks and wood.
- Have a “tacky” day
- Wear crazy, mismatching clothes
- Take pictures wherever you go. If you’re feeling shy, just go out into nature.
- Let your kids teach you something they’re all good at
- This could mean having a video game day, or something else related to screens. Let them relish this unusual twist.
Looking Ahead - Save the Date:
- November 25-29 - No School | Thanksgiving Break
- December 23-January 3 - No School | Winter Break
