Greetings and blessings from your Kingsview Christian School where every student is somebody, the staff is something special and Jesus Christ is Lord.  Mid-term Progress Reports will  be sent home on Thursday as the school year nears the half-way point.  Time certainly does pass quickly.  The new bus is all decked out with its new “Kingsview Christian” sign and it was great to see the first trip with all students “buckled-up” and Mr. Baker projecting on the sound system with, “Quiet please!”  The salmon have all hatched and are swimming around  as best they can with their bright orange egg sacks.  In a week or so they will be returned to the hatchery for release later this year.

     We have reached a goal.  Every student who has been at KCS all year has achieved at least one Marathon (26 miles 385 feet).  Kevin and Ben have completed eight marathons a piece (over 200 miles).  These two young men have shown us all commitment and perseverance.  The entire school has logged well over 5,000 miles in this program.  Second grade is just slightly ahead of first grade in the race from the Pacific to the Atlantic.  Mrs. Pinkston’s first grade is in possession of the “Giving Cup” for the most food items last week.  Always remember, however, it is the hungry of Coos County who are the real winners in the KCS/BACN food  program.  This week’s food item is spaghetti noodles and/or sauce---spaghetti noodles and/or sauce---spaghetti noodles and/or sauce.  As always we thank you for your generosity.

     I have just discovered that I have not been signed-up for Safeway’s “Help Your School Program”.  I believed that you signed-up once and Kingsview would continue to receive the benefits of this program.  That is not the case.  We need to sign-up for the program every year.  If you have not signed-up recently, please look into doing so.  The office can help.  Please remember that McKays receipts are also a  way to support KCS.  We appreciate all your efforts. 

     As always we appreciate your children, your sacrifice, your support, your input and your prayers.

In His and your Service,

Rick Wetherell

Remember: KCS is always collecting coupons, McKay’s receipts, Safeway school fund, cans to be recycled and just about everything to raise funds for our school. SOMETHING NEW TO SAVE: The Tyson's A+ Project. Snip the "Project A+" symbols from Tyson Foods products - they give us 24 cents EACH for them! That is the highest return I personally have ever heard of on something of this nature, and will add up very QUICKLY! Mrs. Donnalee Mahr (KCS Secretery) is the program coordinator for that program. Visit Tyson's Project A+ Website at THIS LINK for complete program details.
