Bible Memory Verses

Bible Memory is an important spiritual discipline that we should all try to practice. To encourage you to memorize scripture I have assigned 10% of your Christian Ethics grade to Bible memory. Your first Bible memory assignment is to choose a verse (or more) from Philippians 1 and memorize it. You will be required to say your verse aloud or write it down, and share what the verse means and the significance of the verse it to you. Remember to memorize the reference as well! Philippians Chapter 1 memory verse test date: Tuesday, September 27th

Parents!

I want to say thank-you to all the parents who made it out to Meet The Teacher Night last night. It was great to meet you and briefly share what happens in "Miss Anholt's Class" and the expectations that I have for my students. Any parents who were not able to attend and would like the outline of what I shared please email me (anholta@spsd.sk.ca) and I can send you a copy. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to email me. I do look forward to partnering with you this year. Miss Ashley Anholt anholta@spsd.sk.ca

Ride for Refuge

After some discussion in class there was some interest for me to register a class team for the City-wide Ride for Refuge. So I registered 'Miss Anholt's Class' team and I invite you to join the team or sponsor one of the riders. Parents, friends, siblings, and students are all welcome to join! All riders will need to register for the team at the link below. All riders under the age of 15 are required to have the waiver signed by a parent/guardian before they ride. Pledges can be made online, on the rider's or team's profile, or by cash to cheque to the rider. Currently, our team's pledges will go towards the Bridge on 20th. I will take responsibility for supervising any of my homeroom students who want to participate in the event, but will not be responsible for any younger siblings or friends who want to ride. In this case, I invite parents/guardians to join the ride and help with supervision. The link to join or sponsor the Ride for Refuge team:The Ride for Refuge - Love, Sweat & Gears

Be Better Than Good Enough

Good Enough Is Neither (by Mike Smith)

All too often 'good enough' is where the weak hearts stop.
It keeps the very best in each from coming to the top.
'Enough' implies just gettin' by and 'good' falls short of best.
So 'good enough' is average stuff and seldom meets the test.
The ones who 'shine' and seem to find success are those who dare
To charge right past old 'good enough' and show the world they care.
Never being satisfied with just an average plan,
They work and think and push themselves to do the best they can.
Remember that the choice is yours and you alone choose either,
But those who 'shine' are those who know that 'good enough' is neither


I think we can apply this concept to our relationship with Christ. Do you follow a mental checklist of things you need to do to get by and leave it at that…okay, I’ve had quiet times/devotions 4 out of 7 days this week…I’ve volunteered on this day…I went to church on Sunday...etc…I’m good to go, I’ve done what I need to do as a Christian. Have you trusted God with all areas of your life, or just the portions you want to? Do you truly worship God for all He is, or do you sing some songs on Sunday’s or in chapel or class because everyone else is?

I know there are definitely times in my life when I just go for the “good enough” in many areas of life, including my walk with the Lord. In Revelation 3, the Church in Laodicea is warned against being just “good enough”…15I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.
I challenge you to take a look at your own life, are you a “good enough”, lukewarm Christian, or do you strive to be connected in your relationship with Christ?

Note: This devotion has been taken from Miss Anholt's friend. It is not completely self-created.

Be inspired!

Parent's Homework

Parents, Please complete your homework on the handout that was provided. The 'assignment' was titled Help me get to know your child!. It was attached to the blue classroom newsletter that went home during the first week of school.

Welcome!

Welcome to Miss Anholt's class and to Miss Anholt's class blog! I look forward to a great year of learning and seeking God together. The blog will be one way to communicate important dates and notices. Note that not all assignments or due dates will be posted. I will attempt to update the blog as frequently as possible but it likely will not happen daily. I am going to continually research how to best incorporate technology into the 'classroom' website changes may be made in the future but for right now we will continue with this class blog. Please bookmark this page and check it frequently, both students and parents. If you need to get ahold of me please email me at anholta@spsd.sk.ca or call and leave a message on my voicemail 343-1494.
