7th and 8th Grade Retreat
Each year our 7th and 8th graders here at KAES have the opportunity to attend a leadership retreat. This brings our upper classmen together while giving direction and focus in becoming leaders for Jesus on our campus. This year we separated by grade allowing each class to spend the day at the camp working and growing together. They worked through challenge activities that helped them realize that they are stronger together and that with Christ all things are possible. They also had a ton of fun playing, eating and laughing together. Thank you to all the sponsors who gave of their time and sleep this week to make this great event happen.
