COVID Update: We are not sure how long this surge will last. Please be patient with us as we make the best decisions possible each week based on the current situation.  Please know our Redeemer Health Equity Team reviews local and CDC guidelines weekly and will suggest updates as needed.  We also request that you notify myself or Paster Josh if your child tests positive for Covid or experiences any Covid symptoms the week following class.   We want to thank you (as parents), all our teachers, and all our youth who are doing such an awesome job of following the safety measures we have in place. In the fall our attendance was steady, masks were worn, snacks were taken home, and everyone did their best to keep social distances. Most important, families stayed home if they had symptoms or were in contact with someone with symptoms.  With your help we can continue to keep everyone safe and healthy.
