All are invited to attend the public sessions of our regular Board meetings
on the third Monday of every month, at 7:00 p.m. in the Staff Lounge.

TOWER OF ZION scholarship forms are available from Mrs. Ohmer in the
Counselor's Office. They are due by March 29.

As we enter a new year we wish to pause and express our heartfelt
appreciation to you. What a blessing it is to have so many hearts, souls
and minds working in unison; with Jesus Christ as our focus and
Kingdom-building our goal. We look with awe as the talents of the Saints
blend together so seamlessly and assist in making CPRS a beacon to many
families and children in the center place.

Without our dedicated volunteers, staff and employees, supportive parents
and the love and direction of our Heavenly Father, we would not be able to
impress on so many young lives, the principles of the Restored Gospel and
the vision of the "Latter Day light". We pray for continued blessings for
our school.

As referenced in Isaiah 43:15-21, there are many exciting opportunities
ahead and we look forward to each and every one in 2012. We sincerely wish
each of you a prosperous and blessed New Year as we join together in this
great and marvelous work.
