A Note From The Principal
Fall Fun
COVID-19 Update
As COVID-19 cases in West Michigan are currently on the rise, we continue to follow our Preparedness Plan. Research has shown the spread of COVID-19 is often linked to social gatherings outside of schools. Please help us keep our kids in school by taking diligent precautions when making plans to spend time with friends and extended family. Thank you for your continued efforts, it’s making a difference.
A Family In Need
Jeff Visser, father to 5th grade student Maylee, was diagnosed with Mantel cell lymphoma this past Memorial Day. At this time Jeff is undergoing challenging treatments and has been unable to work since April. One of the ways we can help at this time is by signing up to bring a meal. Please also join us as we lift up Jeff and his family in prayer.
A Prayer Matter
The Schrotenboer family has made a Caring Bridge page for updates. Thank you for all of your prayers on their behalf.
