The Hymn Of The Month Test
is this week for 1st-3rd grades
they will be taking a practice test on Monday and Tuesday
and the actual test on Wednesday and Thursday

Next month will be a little different in regard to
the February Hymn of the Month.
Because of Grandparents' Day, which will be completely different before,
all the elementary classes
will be working on other presentations
and won't be tested on the Hymn.
Instead there will a test on each class's unique song.

Instrumentalists - remember your practice cards!!!

A New Semester . . .
A New Beginning . . .
A New Opportunity . . .

As the 3rd quarter starts up, there are 2 common mistakes that many band and guitar students make:
  1. They forget their instrument (which lowers the Participation grade).
  2. They forget their weekly practice card (which gives them a zero for that week's card grade) REMEMBER- Practice cards are no longer accepted after the beginning of the first class meeting of the week.

Please help your child be responsible for the above as we make music for our God

January Hymn Of The Month
Take Time To Be Holy


verse 1
Take time to be holy, speak oft with thy Lord
Abide in Him always and feed on His word
Make friends of God’s children, help those who are weak
Forgetting in nothing His blessing to seek


verse 2
Take time to be holy, the world rushes on
Much time spend in secret with Jesus alone
By looking to Jesus, like Him thou shalt be
Thy friends in thy conduct His likeness shall see


First grade is required to know only verse 1
Second and Third Grades are required to know verses 1 and 2

The test will be January 26th (1st & 3rd grades) and 27th (2nd grade)
