Summer Fun and School Supplies!

     I hope you are all having an enjoyable summer break!  Mr. and Mrs. Lipskoch have returned from their big summer adventure...with most of their sanity intact!  We had a good time, and want to state our appreciation for the prayers and gifts you all gave to make our trip possible.

     We are back at work here on campus and are in the middle of preparation for the upcoming school year.  A couple of dates to remember are July 18, which is the last day to enroll for the upcoming school year, and August 10, which is the first day of school.  We will be having Orientation on August 8.  The calendar can be viewed on the website.

     I have already had some parents asking about school supply lists.  Our list hasn't differed much from last year.  A few items that are a "must" would be:

       *  KJV Bible.
       * Magazine holder for PACEs. (metal or sturdy plastic)
       * Box, cup, or other type of desktop organizer for school supplies.

     If your student chooses to use mechanical pencils, please remember that they will also need lead and eraser refills for those pencils.  (Mrs. Lipskoch may monitor these refills for the students in her Learning Center.)  Tissues and hand sanitizer will also be kept by the supervisors.  (Small personal sizes may be kept by older students in their own office.)

      Parents of younger students, crayons and glue sticks are probably the items that will need replacing the most.  They tend to get used up pretty quickly!  The 24 pack of crayons is probably the best size -- not too few, and not to many for them to keep up with.  Mrs. Lipskoch does prefer her 6 and under students to use regular wooden pencils, rather than mechanical.  (There is not enough lead in the world to keep a 4 year old in pencil lead!)       

     Just in case you need it, here is a link to our printable school supply list.  If you have any specific questions about school supplies--or anything else--feel free to message or call the school.

     Please pray as we prepare for another great school year here at Harvest!  See you soon!
