WE'RE MOVING! AND HERE'S OUR **NEW** BLOG ADDRESS!

Our blog has moved to another location. The address is very similar to this one, so please make a note of the change (in case you have it linked to your own personal blog or have a subscription to the  posts).

The NEW address is:

thesiswv.blogspot.com   (click to visit the new blog)

The only difference in the address being that "thesis" and "wv" no longer have a hyphen between them.

Also, please note that the new site has a "Field Trip Info" tab at the top. As new field trip information is posted to the blog, links to those postings will be added to this Field Trip Info page. Links to info for all current field trips will be included in this one spot.

Future posts, starting today, will be to the new location.

Thanks for making a note!

DETAILS FOR FIELD DAY TOMORROW

The weather forecast predicts a beautiful day for tomorrow so we will be outside!  Thank you LORD!

Here are some details so all goes as smoothly as possible:

1.  Please park near the front of the building as we will be using the parking lot adjacent to the playground for activities.

2.  Remember to bring a side dish for our picnic of hotdog lunch at 11:30.  We can eat in the Fellowship Hall, or bring a blanket or chairs if you like for sitting on the grass.

3.  We discovered that a flag-raising ceremony is not suitable for that flagpole, but we can have an "opening ceremony" at the flagpole with  a pledge and a song before beginning the activities.

4.  Kids need to wear their nametags, both for the benefit of the older students who are running these games, and to hold their games card.

5.  There will be three areas:  Pre-K with game and activities just for these little ones (Lori Shaffer) 9 stations for elementary and above kids (Miranda Shields & Lorrie Young overseeing) and the ball field and cornhole areas for 6th grade and older. (Nellie Wilson)

6.  We will celebrate the close of the games and a great year of THESIS with a frosty treat at the end (around 2 pm.)

7.  The THESIS mailbox will be available for you to pick up or drop off any receipts, papers, etc.

Looking forward to  great day!

Warmly,

Liz, for THESIS

NO THESIS CLASSES TOMORROW

As described in our Inclement Weather Policy, we will NOT have classes tomorrow, since Marion County has closed school. 

If you have not already done so, please subscribe to alerts for Marion County school closings. Any time Marion County closes school, we will not have classes. 

(If Marion County has a delay, we will have regular classes. The exception being if it is during testing or another early event, in which case we will observe the delay.)
