Ambassadors for Christ
Take a minute and ask your student to share with you what they learned today about how to stand up for each other . The students were placed in groups PreK-1, 2-3, 4-5, and 6-8. They met at New Hope Fellowship and Miss Annette shared what it means to be an ambassador for Christ. Each assembly was tailor made for each grade level. The presentations were spot on, very informative, and challenging.

Auction
The auction was a huge success because of everyone who contributed. Special thanks to everyone who procured items from local businesses. We are also very thankful for each family and business that donated.
Thank you for all those who arrived early Saturday morning to set up the Gymnasium. With so many hands the space transformed quickly into an eye-catching bounty of fruit. Special thanks to Pablo and Melina Guerrero who took the theme and ran with it; ordering or creating everything so that the space was inviting and festive. They also designed the invitations, created the PowerPoint and the large posters for the live auction.
Thank you, Sara Peterson, for heading up the silent auction. Your work in this area for years is sincerely appreciated. Your team displayed everything so beautifully and made it easy for us to bid on.
The tasty dinner was provided by Delish Modern Catering. Thank you to each person who made or brought a delicious dessert. What a wonderful selection. Thank you to those who worked tirelessly in the kitchen so others could simply enjoy dinner- many thanks. Thank you to our auctioneer Tom Pasma and our MCS teachers, Mrs. Haggerty, and Mrs. Waltman. You made the evening so fun and enjoyable.
We were extremely blessed with the generosity of those who attended the auction. We will have a total for you by the end of the week. All the work that is poured into the auction would not be realized without you and your gracious giving. We will keep you posted on the new doors that fund-a-need will be providing.
To the students who opened the auction in song, along with Mrs. Scott and Mr. Hvattum- thank you! And the clean-up crew, thank you! When everyone was so tired, you stepped in to help get everything back in order.
Finally, special thanks to Dena Bobinger and Becky Werkhoven who worked beyond each school day for weeks to get all the details in place. THANK YOU!

Summer Camp
Summer Day Camps Are Here!
MCS is hosting 5 weeks of summer day camps (upcoming Kindergarten through 6th grades) at Monroe Christian School. Camps are for enrolled students only. Camps will run from July 11th through August 12th, Monday to Friday 10am to 2pm. Register for one week or register for all! Join us for a GREAT summer filled with water activities, team sports, recess games, field games and PE games. These camps are geared to keep your child active and engaged!
There are many volunteer opportunities. In fact, we cannot run these camps without your help! Come volunteer and get your service hours for the upcoming 2022/2023 school year. Each week served is a full 20 hours. You can fulfill your mandatory volunteer hours in one fun filled week of summer camp. We are asking for 3-5 parents volunteers (Jr. High students can volunteer also) each week of camp. The more volunteers we have the more grade groups we can serve. This allows for age-appropriate learning. Volunteers must be available for the whole week that you wish to volunteer. If you volunteer for the week(s) your student(s) will get a discounted rate of 50% off! You will pay only $45.00 per student for the full week.
Registration will open on April 29, 2022 and will promptly end on the last day of school June 10, 2022. MCS must have a minimum of 10 students registered each week to run that week’s camp. Registration cap is 25 students each week. Please don’t wait to volunteer or register your children so they don’t miss out. To get the volunteer discount you must sign up to volunteer at the same time you register your child. We are unable to guarantee day camp weeks until we have the volunteers needed to support the student registration count. If you would like more details about volunteer opportunities, please email athletics@monroechristian.org or call Katie at 425-577-9658.

Love and Logic
Recently, a customer shared a story with us about a conversation she had with several of her friends, all of them mothers with teenage daughters. The other mothers were lamenting about various problems they were having with their daughters, and then they asked her why her daughters acted so responsibly and were so well behaved. She simply responded, “It’s Love and Logic.”
She went on to explain how she started using Love and Logic with her daughters when they were young. She shared how there was an adjustment phase at first, but then parenting became a delight, not a nightmare. Over the years, many Love and Logic mothers have shared this experience with us, and it reinforces our firm belief that Love and Logic really works.
We have also heard a slightly different stories told from the point of view of kids who were raised with Love and Logic. One woman told us that when she was a kid, she thought that she had the meanest mother in the world. She said her mother didn’t yell, scold, or say I told you so. Instead, her mother simply expressed how sorry she was that her daughter was in trouble or had chosen poorly.
When kids who have been raised with Love and Logic become adults, they’ve been given a gift. The gift of being able solve problems on their own and take ownership of their decisions. These are valuable tools that they will use for the rest of their lives.
Thousands of kids who have been raised with Love and Logic are thankful for what their mothers did for them. In fact, many of them call us to learn how to use Love and Logic with their own kids.
We thank all the Love and Logic mothers who have supported us through the years, and who have raised their kids to be respectful, responsible adults. Our audio, Four Steps to Responsibility, is a time-tested product that has helped thousands of mothers teach their kids to make responsible decisions.
Happy Mother’s Day!
Thanks for reading!
If this is a benefit, forward it to a friend. Our goal is to help as many families as possible.

Our scripture theme for this year is based on Galatians 5:22-23, 25
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit
