Deepen Your Lenten Journey with NOVA
Middle and high school students and their parents are invited to NOVA, an Edge family series. Nova, which is Latin for “new,” breaks open and explains the meaning and purpose of Lent for both middle and high school youth and their parents and reveals how it is a season intended to bring us new life in Christ. Each of the Edge Nights gives practical tips and information on how to journey well through Lent, especially highlighting the call to prayer, fasting and almsgiving. NOVA will be held over four sessions: March 13, March 20, April 3 and April 10. Each session will begin with dinner in the gym at 6pm and conclude at 8pm. For more information, contact Cristina Priddy. Recess/Playground Snow Policy
The students must have snow boots if they want to walk around and play on the snow-covered areas of the playground during recess. Also, as long as the outside temperature is above 31 degrees, we will be outside, so please make sure your child has the appropriate outdoor clothing. Thank you! Teacherease
