- Please be in prayer for all our teachers and staff as they prepare for the upcoming year. They have been working hard all summer getting classrooms cleaned, organized, and planning for the upcoming year. They may have had a little fun too!!
- Be watching for some information to come your way. There will be an updated calendar to reflect the new start of the school year, Sept 3. and remember that school will start a little earlier this year. The doors will open at 7:45 and class will begin at 8:00.
Until September, we are so thankful for the gift of summer. We are thankful for ice cream cones, backyard barbecues, and sun-drenched memories.We hope to enjoy each moment of fun this summer and remember that our God has given us these blessings.
Looking forward to seeing you all relain our upcoming school year ~
