So glad it missed us!
Good afternoon PR!
So glad it was not as bad as predicted this weekend, but we are definitely in full-blown Michigan Winter!
We are one week away from our combined Central Side "Day On" for MLK Day! We are excited to collaborate with our Ranger Families to provide 2 opportunities to serve our community.
- Donating items for Kids' Food Basket and Heartside Ministry to provide essential needs to families in our Grand Rapids community. Please see the MLK Day of Service flyer for details. All of our elementary schools are collection sites.
- Join kids at Ada (731 Ada Drive SE Ada, MI 49301) on Monday, January 20th from 11-1 in the cafeteria to assembly the items collected. Time slots are just 15 minutes. Sign Up Genius link is below. (Only kids names need to be entered in the sign-up genius)

Our in house celebrations will be, Tuesday, January 21st. We will have an assembly during which we will listen to a book called "Our House" and return to our rooms to discuss the book with questions. This book will be a great kick-off discussion about generalizing groups of people by any physical characteristic, including race. We know this is best discussed more than once a year, we are working to continue the conversation and learning year-round so that it is not saved for this time of year.
