From the Superintendent

Today was our annual Career Day here at school. Mrs. Gayle Mayfield, our guidance counselor, did an outstanding job in assembling a group of interesting speakers. This year’s group included Candice King, CPA from Totherow, Haile, and Welch PLLC, Andrea Porter, RN, and Brad Whitson, Physical Therapist, from Amedisys Home Health Care, Brianna Zuber, Ponda Armstrong, and Aaron Cole, graduate students form the biology department at Tennessee Tech, Dr. DeRosa Stephens, optometrist from Horner-Rausch Optical, Ashley Wright, community relations coordinator from River Park Hospital, and Nita Brooks and Melinda Korzaan, Assistant Professors, Information Systems, from MTSU. Special thanks go Rebecca Merritt of the Bonnie Blue Inn for providing lunch for our guests, Adelia’s Blooms for flower gifts, and our PTF for providing funding.

The early enrollment deadline has been extended until Friday, May 7. Parents have until that date to register and receive the $50 discount off the registration fee. Registration has been strong; current registrations are approximately 5 times the number we had at this time last year. We continue to receive registrations from new families, especially from the Manchester area. Please return your enrollment contract and registration fee as soon as possible.

Please remember that this year’s annual Spring Banquet will be held on Monday evening, May 17, 2010, at the Bridgestone Learning Center. We are very excited that Don Meyer has agreed to be our guest speaker. Coach Meyer was formerly the men’s basketball coach at Lipscomb University in Nashville, and has just retired from Northern State University in Aberdeen, South Dakota. Coach Meyer is the winningest men’s coach in NCAA history and led Lipscomb to the NAIA National Championship in 1986. Tickets for this event




are $125 each. Tables of 8 seats will be $1,000, or 10 seats for $1,250. Please call Terry Stubblefield at school to reserve your seats.

Parents/BCS Supporters,
I want to give you a quick overview of tonight's PTF meeting. There is a display of the Mother's Day Baskets as you walk in the main hallway of the Elementary building along with a list breaking down the items in each basket. The prices range from $10 to $30; these baskets also make great birthday gifts. You may purchase these from Terry Stubblefield in the office; checks can be made out to Boyd Christian School. One of the baskets has a gift certificate from Gondola; we appreciate the donation of the gift cards from Lisa Zavogiannis and her husband. We are looking at two campus clean up days before Open House; tentative dates are July 17th & 24th or July 24th & 31st. Once the Open House date has been set I'll send an e- mail to notify you of the exact dates. Teacher/Staff Appreciation Day has been scheduled for Friday, May 7th. There is a sign up list in Terry Stubblefield's office; if you cannot prepare food for that day, you can give money to go toward a food tray such as vegetables, fruit, meat & cheese, etc. There will not be a May PTF meeting. Chorus is going to have a bake sale, so if you can prepare baked items have them at school May 21st; I hope that is the right date Mrs. Hagar. Thank you for all that you do for Christian Education.
Angela Ramsey
PTF President

Parents/BCS Supporters,
First of all I want to thank the parents, teachers, and students who helped this past Saturday during the campus clean up day. I really appreciate all that was done. I also want to remind you of the PTF meeting scheduled for this Tuesday night at 6:30 in the cafeteria. The main objective will be to discuss plans for Teacher/Staff Appreciation Day. If you can't attend the meeting, but would like to help with food for the teachers and staff you may send me an e-mail.
Thank you,
