MCA Weekly Wrap-Up!
Primary & KinderPrep Family News - August 16, 2019
Dear Families,
We have had a wonderful first week of school! It has been so much fun to see all of our students return, looking just a little bit more grown-up!
This week, there were lots of hugs and smiles as friends saw each other for the first time in a few months, and we had many opportunities to make new friends as we welcomed new families to Maranatha. Last week we welcomed our preschool families to a Back to School Night in each KinderPrep classroom, and next week we will have our Elementary Back-to-School Night for families to learn more about your children's classrooms and teachers for this school year.
At MCA we are so excited about beginning a new year with you! This year's theme verse is from Joshua 24:15 and we are going to be learning all year about how we will serve the Lord together. We are looking forward to a year of finding out what God can do through us when we commit to serve and follow Him!
Blessings!
Mrs. Howell
First Day Fun!
