Chapel Programs in April
Join Rabbi Bill Tepper (of Mizpah Congregation) at chapel this Tuesday, April 13 (8:35 a.m.) as we remember Holocaust Day (Yom HaSho'ah). All are welcome to join us for this special program.

At the end of the month, our April 27 chapel program will include a brief presentation by the Rev. Lou Parsons, of St. Francis of Assissi Episcopal Church in Ooltewah. Rev. Parsons, an alum parent!, will present the "Nets for Life" program, which provides insecticide treated nets and training on how to use them to prevent death from malaria. This will be the school's final service outreach project for the year. Rev. Parsons is the diocesan coordinator for Episcopal Relief and Development programs. This special program will give details about our school project in conjunction with World Malaria Day, April 25, 2010.
