Cone Set Up Needed at Elementary Campus
We are looking for an individual or a few to help with setting up cones in the morning before 8:30 AM.

Any parent(s) are welcome to help with this task and it would be greatly appreciated. There will be a training set up to know where to place cones and signs.

Middle School Prayer Club
Description: Every Tuesday at lunch, Middle School students come together to seek God in prayer, lifting up our families, our school, our country, and the world. We take time to talk to God, thank Him for His blessings, encourage one another, and bring our worries and joys before Him. As we pray for our friends, families, school, and community, we also grow in our faith together. Our time is about more than prayer; it is an opportunity to share meals, laughter, fellowship, and build meaningful relationships. These gatherings have been a true blessing, reminding us of God’s faithfulness and the beauty and strength of growing together in Christ.
For more info, contact Mrs M. Edema:
The Well
The Well is our student-operated Middle School snack store, offering a variety of snacks and treats for students to purchase during lunchtime.

Please note that The Well is intended as a snack option and is not a replacement for lunch. Students are expected to bring or have access to a regular lunch each day.
