Jesus said,
"Let the little children come to me."
Isaiah 56:7

During Sing & Celebrate, our classes join Rev. Mary Kay, Deacon Will and Miss Adell to pray, hear a Bible lesson and sing some fun songs. This year, families are invited to join us for Sing & Celebrate for our three special Family celebrations during the months of September, December and May. For the remaining school months, the classes will join Rev. Mary Kay, Deacon Will and Miss Adell in smaller groups for their lessons. |
I am happy to be back teaching Music this year! I am just getting started exploring singing, musical instruments and rhythm with your children. This year we will sing, play instruments. make music outdoors, and move our bodies together with yoga and dancing. October music classes will be filled with Fall and Halloween fun!

Dear St. David's Families,

If you ever have any questions, please feel free to contact your teacher or stop at the Front Desk and speak to Judy and/or Margie. We are happy to help!

On this gorgeous day, we are counting our blessin
gs! During
our first Sing and Celebrate, we listened as Reverend Mary Kay and Deacon Will reminded us that there are many ways to pray and many reasons to pray. Today we say a prayer of thanks for a successful start to the school year. We are especially thankful for our POPS officers and Auction chairs from last year. Thanks to their hard work at last spring's auction, we have a new playhouse in our Messy Materials area! The K-WILD children are loving it! All of our preschoolers will have the opportunity to play in it as well. Head down to Messy Materials and take a look!
Blessings,
Julie and Ann-Marie
