A NOTE FROM MRS. HYLAND
Dear Berkeley Hills families,
We are excited about the preparations that are underway for
Spiritual Enrichment Week, February 20-23
! Each year, we set this time aside to recharge our spiritual batteries. During the week, we will meet daily for chapel with special speakers and special worship time. All parents are invited to join us! Our prayer is that the Lord will continue His work in the hearts and lives of our students.
I also wanted to note that this is a special year for Eden as we go through the re-accreditation process. As you know, the school has dual accreditation through both the Association of Christian Schools International and the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. The re-accreditation process assists in validating the educational system of the entire school. A visiting team of six professionals will be at all three campuses to review all facets of the school February 25-27.
Blessings,
Kimberly Hyland
Berkeley Hills Principal
