Which way should I go? Daily life requires us to make hundreds of decisions each day. Some of the choices are small while others can be significant and life changing. Sometimes the daily pressures of life can cause us to feel as though we are trapped in a maze. We make wrong choices and find ourselves at what feels like a dead end. We try to solve problems ourselves instead of asking for God’s help. We end up lost and confused. God does not leave us lost and alone. When we look to God’s Word, we find these words, “Show me Your ways, O Lord, and teach me Your paths” (Ps. 25:4). God knows the best way for us to follow, and He helps us find the end of the maze. Jesus has already traveled the path of life in this world. He knows the way and He is beside us when we become tired, frustrated, or overwhelmed. Since Jesus has already overcome the enemies and obstacles that block our path, we trust in Him to lead and guide us all the way to our home with Him in heaven.

OPEN HOUSE, TONIGHT!

Please take a few moment to stop by Mt. Calvary between 3-7:30pm TONIGHT! Our Open House is designed for both current and prospective families. 

Current Families: 1) See special projects happening in your child’s classroom, 2) Pick up enrollment applications and/or re-enroll, 3) Bring others who may be interested in enrolling at Mt. Calvary. 

Prospective Families: 1) Meet teachers and students, 2) Tour the school facility, 3) Receive enrollment information

All families who attend (and sign in) will be entered into a drawing for a variety of prizes including an art kit, Gospel music pack, snow boogie board, and a Nintendo DS. Plan to join us and bring a friend! 

 

Enrollment for the 10-11 school year is now in process. Open Enrollment periods run the 1^st - 20^th of every month. It is very important for all our current families to enroll and secure a seat for next school year.  New procedures are in place for the enrollment process this year. Please note: The new procedure requires that all parents come to the school office, meet with Ms. Neuwirth, and provide all required documents (income verification, birth certificates for 4K-1^st) in order to complete the registration process.  You are encouraged to gather the needed information, and register early in order to secure your child’s seat for next school year!

Mt. Calvary’s theme for Black History Month is, “Celebrating Life, Freedom, & Diversity!”   Today’s Family Folder contains a project to be completed at home as a family. You are encouraged to work together as a family to creatively show how you “Celebrate Life, Freedom, & Diversity.” Use pictures, magazine clippings, markers, and anything else you find around the house to complete the poster. The completed projects should be returned to school by February 19^th! All completed posters will help decorate the church for the Black History Program.

 

Be reminded that there is NO SCHOOL next Friday, February 12^th for Winter Break. Classes will resume on Monday, Feb. 15^th. 

Big Mac, Quarter pounder with cheese, or a happy meal with fries….You can help Mt. Calvary by collecting and saving McDonald’s receipts from any Mc Donald’s restaurant in southeastern Wisconsin. The receipts collected can be redeemed for a wide variety of educational products. Mc Donald’s has distributed over $100,000 in merchandise to schools and organizations in southeastern Wisconsin. If you happen to find yourself at Mc Donald’s, remember to keep your receipt and send them to school with your child. Thank you!

Fundraiser results have been tabulated and Mt. Calvary students and families set a new fundraising record bringing TOTAL SALES to just under $11,000!   This total surpasses the goal of $6000 and will result in a Fun Day at Mt. Calvary later this Spring. Classes with at least 50% participation and earning pizza party were Grades 1, 2, 3, & 4!   The top seller school wide was Kenny Peavy (Grade 2) selling a total of $724 dollars! Finally, congratulations to the following top sellers in each class who won a limo lunch: Gia Riley (4K), Rockie Carney (5K), Tiana Davis (1^st), Kenny Peavy (2^nd), Jonathon Nylund (3^rd), Angeliq Cotton (4^th), Shanoel Moye (5^th), Mathew Walczak (6^th), Shawn Ballman (7^th), Danielle Ward (8^th). THANKS TO ALL who participated! 

 

Please be sure your children are prepared for the cold weather with hats, gloves, mittens, scarves, and boots. These items are needed to keep students warm walking to and from school as well as playing outside at recess.

 

With the possibilities of winter snow, please tune in to Channels 4, 6, and 12 for up-to-date school closing information. In most circumstances, when MPS Schools are closed, Mt. Calvary will be closed as well; however, this is not always the case. Please watch for school closing information on your favorite television station.
