THE LORD HAS DETERMINED OUR PATH
A Poem of Faith
By Emily Matthews
The Lord God has provided us with all that we will need,
He has given us our talents to be sure that we’ll succeed,
He guides us with a gentle hand in times when we’re afraid,
And helps us stay determined when our strength begins to fade,
He travels every path with us as it curves and bends each day
And He simply asks that we follow Him and trust He knows the way.
“At those times when we feel a little confused about where we are going
And how we are going to get there, just remember we can trust His plan. “
After just one week being back with all of you here at Saint Johns, this poem
has been my prayer. It has been a very good week. The self discipline, mannerly, and
happy students guided by a most dedicated faculty and staff along with caring and invested parents is exactly as I found this special school two years ago when
I joined you.
It has been a busy, busy week with a SAC meeting, a PTO meeting and a lengthy
Finance Committee Meeting. It is such a blessing to work with such “God
given talented and capable people.” Again, I thank you and am so appreciative
for all of the help, patience and support I have been given to help me “Get Back in the
Saddle Again”.
Shalom,

K-4 Book Club
Please join us for our next book club meeting for kindergarten through fourth grade students next Tuesday, April 13, 3:00-4:15 PM, in the Eagle's Nest. Vivian Tapp from Barnes & Noble will be giving book talks on a range of books that might be of interest to our readers. Parents and guardians are welcome to attend.
Students should bring their completed bookmarks (which we handed out at last month's meeting). If your student was unable to attend last month, but would like to attend next Tuesday, that is wonderful! Invite your child to read a book of their choosing, and then create a bookmark where they record words that capture their attention, complete with the page number where they found each word.
Also, we are planning an end-of-year book club party at Barnes & Noble. More details to come!
