Field Day - May 2 - Late School Day Start

This year’s field day is UNDER two weeks away. We will be hosting as kids from Abiding Peace Academy (our sister school in South Carolina) join us in our competitions. 
Field Day is a late start for students. Students should arrive between 9:30 and 9:45 AM. 
Grades K-9 will participate in athletic competitions throughout the day. 

The 3K and 4K preschool students will have a water toys and games day with Ms. Kim and Ms. Dawne. 

We will need some volunteers to help out with the K-9 portion of the field day. Please fill out the following form if you are available to help out on Field Day. Form link: https://forms.gle/MeLVx7cA12sFBPBF7

Singing in Church - THIS SUNDAY

Mrs. Kober has been working with the first through eighth grade students in her music and Spanish classes to learn both English and Spanish stanzas for the song “Across the Lands.” Students are asked and invited to sing it together in church at Sola Fide THIS SUNDAY, April 27 in the 10:30 AM service.  

Music Recitals - THIS SUNDAY

Sola Fide’s piano, violin, guitar, and trombone students will be sharing their excellence in a pair of recitals this Sunday afternoon. The recitals are at 2pm and 4pm. If you are not sure which recital is for your student, please reach out to your music teacher or to Mr. Schmiege for clarification. Everyone is welcome to attend and encourage our many young musicians. 

Investigating New Team Sports

We have a few parents investigating additional sports at Sola Fide. The two sports with the clearest pathways to starting up are Mountain Biking and Middle and High School Girls’ Basketball. If you’d like to be included in communication about the possibility of these sports, please send an email to Mr. Schmiege. We’ll be sending out formal sign-ups at a later date.
