Our Adopted Class

KidsCo has adopted Mrs. Robertson's first grade class at School 19. Teacher appreciation week is the first week in May and we want to give Mrs. Robertson some gifts to encourage her, let her know she's appreciated, and help her persevere through the end of the year. Would you consider sending in a small gift that you think will be a blessing to her? We will organize the gifts so that she has something to open each day of Teacher Appreciation Week in early May. Thank you in advance!

The kids will make cards of encouragement for the students in Mrs. R's class as well. And we will send them lollipops and pencils!

VBS is Coming!
Registration is now open "Deep Sea Discovery" VBS will take place July 25-29, 9:30-Noon and is open to kids who are 3 by July 25 through these entering 6th grade. To register your child, click here.

KidsCo April Newsletter

Dear Parents,

We had a great time talking about Easter this past month and celebrating the resurrection of Jesus! In April, we are going to learn how to persevere when the going gets tough.

The last Sunday in April we are talking about helping others to persevere, so we will spend that day working on cards and gifts for our School 19 adopted class. See the article at left for ways that you and your child can be part of encouraging Mrs. Robertson and her class.

The kids are still doing a great job with verses. Please encourage your child to memorize at least one verse this year. Even just one verse will be rewarded with a prize at our end of year celebration in late May. Any questions about this, please let me know.

Happy Spring!

In Christ,

Pastor Daria and the KidsCo Team
