Exciting Events and Positive Programs

 

          As the final weeks of this year are now before us, here are some exciting and exhilarating Gateway events to get ready to enjoy:

Lion Roam-A-Thon

                This Friday, May 7 from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm at the Lighthouse Campus all students will be participating in the pledged lap running and fun carnival.  This is our final and most important fundraiser for ending the school year in the black. Gateway needs 100% participation. Please refer to the handout in the Family Envelope.

DAILY HOT LUNCH PROGRAM

          May 15 begins our long-awaited Daily hot Lunch Program for all students in grades K-12.

We have contracted with Antioch Unified School District to provide us with daily hot lunches.  The cost for each lunch will be $3. Parent volunteers interested in helping with this program each day should contact Peggy Collins in the GH Office. Please refer to the order forms and MEMO in the Family Envelope.

Super Summer Sessions

                As much as everyone cherishes getting into summer time schedules, Gateway is offering next year’s 1st – 6th grades AM half-day summer sessions for enrichment and fun for five weeks. Parents may enroll their child(ren) for one or all of the weeks. Enrichment classes include math and reading review, PE, art and hands-on science and technology.   The cost will be $90 per week with options for Tai Kwon Do and a daily hot lunch. Enrollment forms will come home next Wednesday.  Classes will be limited to 20 students. Parents may additionally enroll students in the Extended Care program before and after the summer session classes.  Please refer to the schedule in your Family Envelope.

Serve wholeheartedly,

as if you were serving the Lord, not men, because you know that the Lord will reward everyone for whatever good he does.
