Matthias Lease, pictured with Texas Rep. Hugh Shine. A few weeks ago, Mr. Shine met with Matthias and others to discuss what is and what isn’t working in schools in Texas.
Providence Fourth Grader Matthias Lease has been chosen to be honored as a Central Texas Incredible Kid at the 2017 Central Texas Incredible Kids Celebration sponsored by the Central Texas Youth Coalition. Matthias was nominated by Fourth Grade teacher, Christy Porterfield.
Matthias will receive a plaque and a $100 gift card at an April 3rd luncheon at the Bell County Expo Center in Belton. Congratulations, Matthias!
Lost and FoundThat thing you’re missing? We found it! (This pile is larger than it appears.) We will have a display of lost and found items in the hall by the school office (room 240) this week. Items not claimed by May 11 will be given to charity or sold and proceeds donated to the school. |
Used Laptop DonationWe are hoping to acquire a classroom set of laptops for next year — do you have a used, working laptop that you would be willing to donate to Providence? Our goals with the laptops would be for typing instruction (likely fifth or sixth grade), and for other various computer skills and needs (i.e. research skills). We’d love to have 16 PC laptops, with the following basic specs:

Starting this week, Bible reading passages will focus on the Passion. Tuesday’s reading will concern the Triumphal Entry, and Scripture on the death and resurrection of Jesus will continue until Easter. We hope that you’ll read and discuss these passages of Scripture as a family. There are questions and some example answers below for “home day” readings, but you may also want to review the readings from our morning assemblies on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
SING: Hymn of the week: Jesus Paid It All (YouTube video with lyrics – careful!)
PRAY:
Focus Country of the Week: Paraguay
Challenges for prayer: Operation World: Paraguay still suffers from the effects of two centuries of devastating wars and bad government. The nation’s progress has been hindered by the failure of its leaders to govern, through corruption or outright folly. Thankfully, there are politicians on the scene today who seem to be dedicated to changing that. Pray for them, that they might establish a legacy of uprightness and wisdom for the sake of Paraguay’s suffering people.
Scripture Memory:Romans 3:22b-25: There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, [23] for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, [24] and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. [25] God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished
