Students received their Race for Education kickoff packets! Please click here to view important documents regarding donations, concessions and the day's events on Monday, May 14! Help us reach our goal of $15,000!

Remember that career day is coming up on May 8! Don't forget that students get to dress as the career of their choice while they learn about many amazing jobs!

We are honored to partner with our parents in developing the academic, spiritual and character growth of our students. This is a reminder to return the signed commitment forms which outline the biblical principles behind our partnership by April 27. There is no greater honor than serving the Lord together in raising up the next Christian generation.

We are committed to Jesus being our Living Water. Clean water is a basic need that we take for granted every day. WaterStep is an outreach that reminds us to take the message of clean water, health education and well repair to places all over the world so that communities can fight disease and have the basic need of clean water. Send in your shoe donations between May 7-11! We will be collecting old shoes at the entrances (main, gym and preschool) in order to help fund the work of WaterStep. Bringing in any shoes will do, but especially bring in gently used shoes. We will celebrate our Shoe Drive at the end of Race for Education. All shoe donations must be turned in by Monday, May 14. Pray God will use us to be a blessing to the nations so that they may have clean water and the Living Water!
