¡Queridos Padres!

We had a great/short week! I was very grateful for the snow day. Today we enjoyed the Strike Time Presentations from Hope College. Ask your child about it!
We are planning a food drive for His Harvest Stand…which is located just down the street at City on a Hill. It is a local food pantry benefitting local families in need.
We will collect the boxes of cereal and jars of peanut butter through Nov. 26.
Thank you for helping us bless others in our community!

Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions, suggestion or advice.

Grace & Peace;
Maestra Ruiz
