A NOTE FROM MRS. POWERS

Dear Parents,

As principal, one of the many blessings I receive is to see students growing strong in their faith and developing in their relationship with Christ. On Wednesday this week, students from our Warrior Leadership Team led the Wexford campus in a time of prayer at the annual nationwide event, See You at the Pole. It was awesome to hear their heartfelt prayers and witness their leadership skills in front of their peers.  

To God be the glory!
Carrie A. Powers
Wexford Campus Principal

FRIENDLY REMINDER ABOUT STUDENT ILLNESS

With flu season approaching, please remember Eden’s policy as stated in the Elementary Handbook: Students should not be sent to school when they have a fever or are in the early stage of an illness that might be contagious to others. Children should be fever-free for 24 hours before returning to school.  

Thank you for helping keep all our students healthy!
