SCHOOL YEAR AMBASSADOR PROGRAM

Can you welcome a new family to the Eden Family?

The SCHOOL YEAR AMBASSADOR PROGRAM , designed to welcome and connect new families to Eden, kicks-off with a Welcome Coffee on:
  • August 23 – at Berkeley Hills and Wexford
  • August 24 – at Mt. Nebo Campus

YOU can play a part as a School Year Ambassador and share your Eden enthusiasm with a new family!

As an Ambassador, you will:
  • Be paired with a family that is new to Eden (contact information will be emailed to you the first week of August)
  • Attend the Welcome Coffee at your campus
  • Reach out to your assigned new family during the year to invite them to school events and serve as a resource
  • Earn volunteer hours
  • Have fun connecting a new family with the Eden Family!

We are looking for School Year Ambassadors to represent all grades at all three campuses. If you’re interested in being an Ambassador, click "yes" below.

A MESSAGE FROM MRS. POWERS

Dear Parents,

It is hard to believe that the school year is coming to a close! I know the students are excited for summer activities and a change from their school routine, but I am sad to see them go. They bring energy and life to this building.

As I reflect on the year, I have seen remarkable growth in each one of them. This year, students have found that “the ability to learn can change with effort”. And, when we understand that the brain grows in response to challenge, we’re more likely to persevere when we struggle.

As Christians, this concept is not foreign to us. James 1:2-4 states, “Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.”

We are all growing in different areas and God is guiding us along the way. I am very proud of each one of our students as they continue to mature in all areas of their lives - physically, emotionally, socially, spiritually and academically . And, as part of the Eden Family, we can support them on the journey. There may be a few bumps or turns in the road, but we know it is worth the effort!

I pray you and your family have a safe and enjoyable summer. We look forward to seeing you soon.

Have a great summer!
Carrie A. Powers
