Will my child/family feel welcome? Absolutely! We have special events, at the beginning of the school year, to welcome new families for both preschool and elementary grades.The Elementary school has the New Moms’ Brunch before the start of school, where new moms come and meet returning moms at the school, all while enjoying a deliciously and lovingly prepared brunch in our Church Sanctuary. This really helps the moms to get to know the other moms in the school, and hopefully, start building friendships right away. We also offer our Kleenex & Coffee on the first day of school. We know it is hard on you to say good-bye that first day, and we all are here to help you through that. We will serve you coffee, goodies, and Kleenex if you need it.
