A NOTE FROM MRS. POWERS
Dear Parents,
After being showered with gifts and food these last couple of weeks, I can clearly understand, “I shall not want”. And no matter what the circumstance, my Lord knows and provides for me, even before I ask.
The Eden staff and I would like to thank all of you for your kind gifts and support.
You are truly God’s hands and feet as you have reached out to bless us. May God bless you as well this new year.
All Wexford families are invited to join us for Family Night on Thursday, January 11, from 6:30-8:00 pm.
This is a special night when families can visit their child’s classroom for a snapshot of what happens in a typical day at school. You will also have a chance to meet several of the special area teachers who will be hosting activities during the evening. We have taken some of our favorite activities from previous years and added some new ones as well. You can read more details about Family Night below.
I hope to see you on Thursday!
Rejoicing in His love,
Carrie A. Powers
Wexford Campus Principal
