Please remember our annual Thanksgiving lunch this Friday. Students will be allowed to leave with their parents or grandparents afterwards.
Our annual Christmas program is scheduled for Sunday, December 13, at 2:00 in the afternoon. Please mark this date on your calendars and plan to join us.
LACE is once again having their annual pecan sale. They have arrived and are $7.50 per bag.
I met with Mr. Robert Simonds today about the possibility of beginning an instrumental music program and a band for our middle and high school students. Mr. Simonds is a recently retired music teacher who has had several years of experience directing school bands. Among other accomplishments, Mr. Simonds had a band which marched in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade several years ago. Mr. Simonds will be joining us for a demonstration assembly on Tuesday, December 1, right after our morning chapel. They will have the opportunity to see and hear various instruments.
Please note that parent-teacher conferences will be on Thursday, November 19, from 3:00 to 6:00. Please contact the office to schedule any conferences.

PTF MEETING
Parents/BCS Supporters,
Our next PTF meeting will be Monday, 11/30/09, at 6:30 in the BCS
cafeteria. Hopefully the chocolate sale will get under way very soon. We
are hoping it will be delivered, so we can get it to the students toward the
end of this next week. The students will have 3 weeks to sell the candy, so
the money needs to be returned to your child's homeroom teacher no later
than December 11th. Just a reminder; any unsold candy cannot be returned to
the school. Thank you for your support of Christian Education and Boyd
Christian School.

I want to thank James and Donna Goolsby and Holly Hodges from Goolsby Sausage for donating a new water fountain to the school gymnasium and repairing the water fountain in the main building. This has filled a tremendous need, and we are so thankful for their generosity. In addition, they have already been providing many of the office supplies we use here at school. Thank you so much, Mr. and Mrs. Goolsby and Mrs. Hodges!

Yesterday our teachers had the opportunity to attend the annual Christian Schools Inservice Day, which was held at Columbia Academy. The theme of this year’s event was “Integrating Faith and Learning”. The keynote address was by Bruce McLarty, the Vice-president for Spiritual Life from Harding University. His presentation, “How to Teach Christianly in a Christian School”, was outstanding.
Recently our teachers began recognizing a “Student of the Month” in the middle and high schools. The purpose of this award is to recognize two outstanding students who exemplify the qualities that we want our students to have. It may or may not be a student with the greatest academic achievement. It could be a student who has shown significant improvement, or who has distinguished themselves in the area of service. I am pleased to announce that the Students of the Month for October are Kaleb Tilton and Mikayla Carroll.
We have been in touch with an instrumental music instructor about the possibility of beginning a small band here at Boyd. If your child is interested in learning to play an instrument, or if your child has already had lessons, please pass that information along to Terry Stubblefield in the office.
