Summer Update: Spring Classes Conclude amid Covid-19
Though campuses and our classes were "closed" this Spring, our teaching teams maintained connection with students and families
through phone calls and mailings, car parades and drive through events.
All of these methods shared one common denominator:
one-on-one time with each student.
Never have so many parents actually been able to meet and converse with our volunteer teams.
Personally engaging with parents has been a privilege, and so like God to create personal connection out of isolation!
Numbers of our teaching teams chose the now-common "car parade" to deliver the rewards each student had earned
through various assignments this year. Some teams gave bags of groceries to give a boost to the whole family.
One coordinator reported, "Yesterday was a perfect day, and our 3-car parade stopped
at each child's house and celebrated them. So fun!"
As our work in the office continues this summer, we value your prayers for wisdom in planning how best to
resume our program within the various schools' re-opening "blueprints." For those of you able to stand with us
financially as well, that is greatly appreciated in light of our cancelled Spring Celebration/Fundraiser.
It continues to be our message in these times when, "Many are saying, 'Who will show us any good'? " (Psalm 4:6)
"Oh taste and see that the Lord is good. How blessed are those who take refuge in Him." (Psalm 34:8)
