VIDEO MESSAGE FROM MR. FISHER
Be sure to watch this brief video to hear Paul's message to you as we begin our second week of school.
Here is an excerpt from Paul’s message.

"As I basked in the laughter of our students this week, their joy in greeting each other and playing with one another, the wonder, determination, and inquisitiveness in their eyes as they listened to their teachers and to each other,

I thanked God for his tender mercies.

As the faculty and staff worshipped together to kick off a school year like no other, as they tackled a mountain of new training and professional development with such determination and commitment to excellence for their students, and as they celebrated each student arriving to their campuses last Monday,

I reveled in the satisfying truth that the Lord is indeed our portion. He is enough.

As I have greeted our parents arriving to and then heading out from our curriculum nights, listened to our teachers share their dreams and plans with our parents, and overheard testimonies of what our little community has meant to the Kingdom dreams we all have for our children,

I have renewed confidence that indeed, the Lord is good to those whose hope is in Him.

Eden family, we have so much to celebrate today."

Paul Fisher
Head of School
MESSAGE FROM MRS. HYLAND
Dear Parents,

From our precious three year olds to our awesome sixth graders, we were thrilled to welcome our students on campus and begin the 2020-2021 school year. 

What an amazing first week of school! 

The students were excited to see old friend and begin new friendships. And, it was wonderful to witness the welcomes from all. God has provided our school with a fantastic faculty and staff and I am confident in their abilities to help your child grow academically, spiritually, emotionally, physically, and socially this year.

Every year, we spend time in prayer about a theme for the school year that will inspire our students to grow in faith. This year's theme is especially meaningful to me and I believe that is it important for all of us to understand that we were created to Be Ready, Be Bold, Stand Firm!  

Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. 1 Peter 3:15

Please join us in praying for each of our children as they grow in their relationship with Christ and share the hope of Jesus with their families, friends, and communities. 

Blessings for a great school year!

Mrs. Hyland
Berkeley Hills Campus Principal
IMPORTANT REMINDERS

CARPOOL PICK-UP
 
Just a friendly reminder that buses are dismissed at 3:15.

  • Carpool drivers may enter the lot at 3:25 after all of the buses have cleared the parking lot.
  • Please do not get out of your car to greet your child. This keeps your child safe and avoids traffic backing up on Siebert Road. 

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
