TERRACYCLE
The TerraCycle team is looking to add a couple of people to our team. TerraCycle is a tangible way our school is an earth-keeper. It is also a fundraiser. We typically earn $1000 - $2000 a school year. We cannot do this without volunteers. We usually meet only twice a month during the school year and a couple of times over the summer months. More people on our team would lessen everyone's commitment and ensure this program's success. Many hands make light work and there are always lots of laughs. Any questions, please contact Vickie (zylstravickie@gmail.com) or Lori (loriapotter@sbcglobal.net).
MOMS IN PRAYER
Join us this Friday at 8:45 to pray for our school, students and staff. As always, you are welcome to submit prayer requests anytime to Gina Huizingh at gsolle44@yahoo.com.
