Notes from Preschool:
We still have openings in all age groups for the 2012 school year. Most of our students come to us by "word of mouth", and we appreciate the efforts of those who tell others about our school. The following kind words were sent to me this week from a preschool family who has just graduated from our program:
"Our son first came to your school as a two year old, and is now ready for Kindergarten. Our experience with First Presbyterian is that not only has our son learned a lot, but that you all have LOVED our child. And that is something for which we will be forever grateful. Having Ms. "Jones" for three years was like winning the lottery - she was so kind, caring and loving, even when our son was difficult. Whatever our son turns out to be in 20 years, he will have gotten his start, his foundation, from you at First Presbyterian. You are all doing some great things there for lots of very lucky families. Thank you for loving our son!"
This is just one of many wonderful sentiments that our school has received from the families that we serve. It is what makes our mission so worthwhile - knowing that our Lord is at work, through us, in the lives of these young families. Please join us in reaching out to more families by spreading the word.
