October 27, 2020 Dear Parent, On November 6th, SECA will be having school pictures done. We are happy to have Rachel O’Mara taking pictures this year. SECA is requiring all the students and staff, including extension students and parents, to have their pictures taken, so the yearbook will be uniform. The pictures will be taken from 10:30-2:45 and will not be rescheduled. Please have your child present that day. Rachel will be selling digital photos for $5. Please contact the school to order the digital copy no later than November 5th. Thank you for your cooperation. In Christ, Pastor Krohn JK/bc

Spirit Week is a week of the school year that we encourage students to show their school spirit. Monday will be Mismatch Day, Tuesday will be Hat Day, Wednesday will be Camp or VBS T-shirt Day, Thursday will be SECA Blue and Gold Day, and Friday will be NFL Day.

Children should still bring a lunch as the food provided will only be snacks. Gym class will continue as normal for Tuesday-Thursday, but it will be canceled on Friday 10/2. Thank you for your support! In Christ, Pastor Krohn JK/bc Monday - Mismatch Day Tuesday - Hat Day Wednesday - Camp/VBS T-shirt Day Thursday - SECA Blue and Gold Day Friday - NFL Day

HIGH SCHOOL ELECTIVES September 10, 2020 Dear Parent, In addition to the courses taught on the SECA campus, I would HIGHLY recommend that a student take advantage of the classes offered by Commonground Baptist Institute on Sundays. Institute courses along with other college courses count toward the college placement diploma. Except for institute classes, there are no additional fees for a Bible or an elective course, as long as the course is taught in the school and is a part of a student’s graduation requirements. Jennifer Krohn is offering an English writing elective course for the 9th-12th graders. Please write a note in the student folder indicating if they are taking this elective. Students must send in their elective request by Friday, September 18th. Thank you for your support. In Christ, Pastor Krohn JK/bc

The girls must have the official yellow gym shirts and the official navy blue culottes. The boys must have the official navy blue gym shirts and blue jeans or the official SECA windpants. The official windpants, official culottes, and official gym shirts must be bought through the school. Gym uniforms that are no longer in good condition may not be worn for physical education classes. The deadline either to wear official gym uniforms or to have ordered official gym uniforms is Friday, September 18th. Thank you for your support. In Christ, Pastor Krohn JK/bc

September 10, 2020 Pizza and Frozen Food Dear Parent, Students will have the opportunity to buy lunch this year. On Fridays SECA will be ordering pizza from Little Caesar's Pizzeria. It will cost only $1 for one slice of cheese OR pepperoni pizza. Also any day of the week students may send in $1.50 for lunch for a frozen meal from our own stock. These include Pizza, Hot Pockets, Mac and Cheese, and more. Each meal is $1.50. The money can be sent into school in the student’s folder and will be collected early in the mornings. Thank you for your support! In Christ, Pastor Krohn JK/bc

September 8, 2020 Student Deathly Allergic to Peanuts Dear Parent, We have a student in the second grade who is deathly allergic to peanuts, and this is not an exaggeration. Karson Rickner cannot be anywhere near peanuts without severe medical treatment. That being said we as a school will have to make some sacrifices this year: 1) If your child is in Miss Rachel’s K-2nd grade classroom, no peanuts will be allowed for snack or lunch. Just don’t send it with your child at all. 2) If your child is a junior boy in the 3rd-6th grade, he can have peanuts for snack, as long as he washes his hands, but not for lunch, seeing as how they will be sharing the lunch table with Karson. 3) If your child does not fit in either of these categories be aware that if you send peanuts of any kind you should inform your child of the drastic measures which must be taken for Karson’s sake. 4) Students should always wash hands after consuming or handling peanuts of any kind. 5) Special party days such as NFL day, Christmas Party, and Field Day, should follow these rules as well and have no peanut butter in any snack. *Common foods that you will have to avoid: Peanuts, Peanut butter, nutty bars, Reese’s(any variation), granola with peanuts, trail mix with peanuts, no bake cookies with peanut butter, Mr. Goodbar, any cereal with peanut butter flavors. As there may be more foods not listed here please read the label and discover if something similar would make it apply in this category. If the label says “made in a facility that processes peanuts” “made with peanut oil” or “may contain peanuts” we will allow it to be sent at the discretion of the parent. Thank You for Your Support, Pastor Jim Krohn JK/bc
