Off to a Roaring Good Start

Our purpose is to help the youth and young adults understand and rely on the teachings and Atonement of Jesus Christ, qualify for the blessings of the temple, and prepare themselves, their families and others for eternal life with their Father in Heaven.

Brothers & Sisters,
We are off to a roaring good start in the new semester! Thank you all for coming to our institute orientation last week. You are wonderful and I am so grateful for your assistance as we move forward in faith.
Now, as classes are beginning this week, a few reminders may be helpful.

General Reminders:

1. Strengthen Unity. Strive for unity with each other, your students, your families, in all aspects of your lives so you may qualify for the blessings of the Spirit. 
2. Learn by the Spirit. Look for ways to increase your learning by the Spirit and help you students learn to learn by the Spirit as well. 
3. Study the Scriptures. You and your students should be studying the scriptures daily. I invite you to read everyday. Will you please invite your students to read the scriptures every day too?
4. Reach One More. Reach out to young people and invite them to institute at every opportunity. We love and welcome nonmembers as well. 
5. Self-inservice. Please be sure to study the S&I Gospel Teaching & Learning Manual daily. This tremendous resource will answer many of the questions you may have about effective teaching. Seek for continuous quality improvement one lesson at a time.

Specific Reminders:

1. Collect daily reads each class session and input them into WISE. 
2. Complete your roll before you go home from class. If you do not have that capability, please do it before you finish your day. Consider your class incomplete until the roll is done. 
3. Enroll your students ether online at www.ldsces.org/cs or with the registration form Sister Cooke emailed. 
4. We will rebroadcast the CES Devotional from last Sunday this Sunday at 2:15PM at Jamboree. 

Teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ is demanding work, but so very worth it. Thank you very much for your service and your love for the students and each other. Thank you for your sacrifices and all you do. I am so grateful for you!

Thank you,

Brother Palmer
