WEDNESDAY
9.28.22
8:20 AM - 8:50 AM
CALLING ALL PARENTS, GRANDPARENTS, PASTORS AND PRAYER WARRIORS!
The Spiritual Advisory Committee
would like to invite you to come pray
over our students and staff. It is open
to anyone who wants to intercede for us.
This day is SEE YOU AT THE POLE where students get the opportunity to unite and pray before God interceding for their generation. While everyone is gathered together in prayer, it is a great opportunity for you to join your faith with ours.
The prayer rally will take place immediately following the student's prayers. Our hope is that you will join us to make a prayer tunnel. As the students and staff go through the tunnel, pray a blessing over each person asking for the Spirit of the Lord to be with us.
WILL YOU PLEASE CONSIDER
JOINING US?
WE NEED YOUR PRAYERS!

We are in need of recess workers! Recess is from
11:00 am - 1:00 pm everyday. You can earn $20 a day towards your child's or grandchild's tuition. The credit is applied at the end of each month. Just think...you can easily apply a couple hundred $$ each month if you worked a few days a week.
You will be required to get a background check.
If you can help, please call the School Office at 942-3802.
