PASSION OF THE LORD

APRIL 9, 2017

Isaiah 50:4-7

FOCUS: Embracing the cross of Jesus

leads to everlasting life.

The cross of shame in Jesus’ time has

become for us the sign of victory over

sin and death. Through his perfect

sacrifice of love on the cross, Jesus won

forgiveness for our sins and defeated the

power of sin and evil. By so doing,

Jesus transformed the cross from an

instrument of death into the tree of life

and source of our salvation.

SCIENCE NEWS To celebrate Earth Day, Ms. Manter’s 6th grade students designed and built vehicles out of recycled materials. Recycled trophies

were awarded to the student vehicles traveling the furthest distance off a ramp.

2ND GRADE NEWS!

2nd Grade went on a field trip to

Cracker Country where they stepped

back in time to the late 1890’s. The

children were able to participate in

household and farm chores. They

made butter, candles, and a jump

rope. They also did laundry and

worked in the garden. Recess was a

favorite as they were able to play with

toys that the children played with

during that time period. They even

liked the one room school house. It

was a very enjoyable day!

STEP UP FOR STUDENTS Applications are open for both new and renewal families for the 2017-18 school year. They anticipate funding 105,000 scholarships for next school year and have already awarded more than 70,000 scholarships, so it is important that interested families apply ASAP. The deadline to apply for FTC scholarships is May 1. This means entire applications must be completed, including the submission of all documentation. The deadline is early this year as they're doing everything they can to process and award all scholarships prior to school beginning in August. Currently, the turnaround time for new applications is about three weeks.

While they still give priority to the lowest income bracket, Step UP has begun awarding students of higher income families who qualify for the 88% scholarship. They have several hundred lined up to be awarded this week, so please ensure that any of your higher income families (>185% of poverty level) have their applications complete and all of their documents submitted.
