OUR MISSION: Pursuing the joy of salvation, knowledge, leadership and community.

This week has been hard as we said goodbye to a friend and colleague. Lois requested that no service or memorial be held in her memory so instead, a crisis fund has been set up in her name. Lois did so much to help people in need and it is believed that this fund will carry on the good works that she was so involved in. Many of you have been asking what you can do. Giving to this fund is a wonderful way to show your love. This crisis fund is designed to support those families that experience crisis while trying to put their children through Christian education. The Lois Mikesell Family Crisis Fund has been set up in partnership with the Keene Church so funds can be given to through the Keene Church or KAES.

A special thanks to Mrs. Howard, executive director of Prospera Panama for hosting yesterday's bubble fest. Students learned all about germs and how soap works to get rid of them when we wash our hands. They also got to watch a skit showing how germs travel from person to person. Students learned the 6 steps of hand washing and when we should wash hands. The real fun was when students got to practice washing their hands. The fun continued as the students practiced making large bubbles, bouncing in the bounce house, playing in the sprinkler, finger painting, using the bubble ball and running in the hamster wheel. Once tired, students could wander over to the table and get watermelon provided by CTA. It was a very educational day and lots of fun.
