Happy Friday Kindergarten parents! We had another wonderful week and we love this sun! Here are some things coming up you should know about,

·       Thursday the 24th is early release. We are also having preview night for new families, if there are people you know who are interested send them our way=)

·       Friday the 25th, there will be no school. We will be having conferences this day. Please email me if you have not scheduled a spot yet.

·       Sunday the 27th is our Easter service. We would love if you and your family can make it. Students who come will be able to sing on stage, and Pastor Carey will be giving a kid friendly Sermon. Also, there will be breakfast before, and an Easter egg hunt after!

·       This Thursday we will be having a Passover supper with the students. Students will be washing their feet, having communion, and participating in a feast just as Jesus did before his sacrifice and resurrection. If you can donate some small food items for the supper that would be wonderful! We are in need of grapes, juice, crackers, olives, and hummus. Thank you!
Here is a peek at our week!


Chapel fun!
