Other Notes and Info
Our preschool-elementary milestones will begin on January 7th!! You should have received grade specific emails from me earlier this week. Our milestones are important as we help our children build a solid foundation for their faith journey, so I hope you will attend as often as possible! Please let me know if you have questions or if you did not receive the milestone email.
Just a reminder that registration is open for Passport Kids Camp which is for current 3rd-6th graders. Current 5th graders are also eligible to attend Middle School Conference this summer and you should have received an email about that from me earlier this week as well!
