April 19 Update

30 Hour Famine
Mrs. Oren has been preparing the students for their participation with 30 Hour Famine on Friday, April 29. Consent forms need to be handed in no later than next Monday. Mrs. Oren has organized different places for the 7th and 8th grade students to serve at in the Heartside area of Grand Rapids. This day is a wonderful opportunity for students to reflect and serve. Mrs. Oren is still looking for help with a few things. She is in need of some more parent volunteers for our service projects during the day on Friday. She is also still looking for a few volunteers to send in food for breakfast on Saturday morning. Please email her (soren@grcs.org) if you are able to help with either.

Good Friday Remembrance Service
Please feel free to join us for a Good Friday Remembrance Service on Friday from 2:40-3:05 in the Worship Center. The 7th grade students will participate in service through cardboard testimonies/sharing ways that God has worked in their lives. Please see the email I sent yesterday with more information if you have questions, or feel free to contact me.

Camp Roger
7th grade students will go to Camp Roger next week on Wednesday afternoon. Please remember that there is no hot lunch on days when students go to Camp Roger. Students need to be prepared for spending the afternoon outside. It is important that they are dressed for the weather and wear appropriate foot wear. Thank you for checking with your child to make sure that he or she brings a lunch to school that day and is properly dressed.
