A NOTE FROM MRS. POWERS
Dear Parents,
Christmas is a very special time. When I was a child, I loved to spend time with family and those that I only saw at that time of year, enjoyed the aromas from the kitchen as mom prepared special treats, gazed with amazement at all the decorations, and sang in the Christmas concerts.
And as Christians, this time of year means even more as we celebrate God’s gift to us! It's also the perfect time to share God’s love with others as we do our best to shine as brightly as the star did over the manger. The prekindergarten classes are learning what it means to share God’s love as they worked to collect money to help needy families overseas. It has been amazing to see their generous hearts in action! They collected enough money to provide 8 lambs as well as $70 for the World Vision Emergency Fund
($872 total). Let your light shine brightly this Christmas season, Eden!
A special thanks to all the moms that supervised the students during the chapel on Wednesday, December 13, while the teachers and staff attended a special Christmas luncheon. Thank you also to Medure's Catering for donating the delicious lunch.
We are so blessed by your prayers and support!
Rejoicing in His Love,
Carrie Powers
Wexford Campus Principal
