“ The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. 
Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.” 
Psalm 92:12-13

January/February 2006  Newsletter

With all lowliness and meekness, with long-suffering, forbearing one another in love; Eph. 4:2

We are almost at the end of January already. As we enter a New Year, we are ever reminded of God’s blessings to us at Cedar. It is also the time to begin thinking of the next school year as we re-enroll present students, consider staff availability, decide on the new programs to be offered, and enroll possible new students. This all takes time and prayerful consideration for all concerned. Please be in prayer this month regarding your child(ren)’s re-enrollment and if there are any other children in the family whom you would like to enroll. The re-enrollment forms will be sent out soon and must be returned by March 1^st, even if your child is not returning. After this date we will begin to register new students, filling in vacated spaces. Also, please consider if you are able to give any time to the school; there are many opportunities to help the school and we would be more than happy to share some of these items with you. We especially need a Kindergarten staff for 2006 – 2007. Experience is not necessary, just a heart for children and the Lord. Training will be provided.

Prayer Requests: Please continue to pray for Miss. Scott. She is recovering in hospital, but most likely won’t be returning to school this year. She would love a phone call or visit. She is at Hôpital du Sacré-Coeur in room #515. Call before visiting as she may be transferred to a rehabilitation hospital. Her phone number is (514) 338-3388, 8 + the room number (8515). Mrs. Scott is helping with Ashley’s physiotherapy, so she will not be at school on a regular basis.

Please continue to check the school calendar on a regular basis.
