Hi Parents & Teachers - First, Happy Mother's Day to all our moms out there! This Sunday is "Good Shepherd Sunday," when we always read Psalm 23, the focus of the kids' lesson this week. A few other quick announcements & reminders:
In a couple weeks, we will launch our summer "Read-a-thon" to raise money for the Episcopal school in Darbonne, Haiti, so listen for more on that.
Remember that the Episcopal Church runs a very good summer camp, Incarnation Camp, in Ivoryton Connecticut. The camp takes kids ages 7 + all summer long, but the Diocesan Youth Summer Camp week is for high schoolers and runs August 17-23. The cost is $250 for the week; the diocese covers the rest (and financial aid is available to cover the $250 if needed). Email me if you want to know more about this, or about the camp in general.
Finally, it's never too late to start planning for *next* summer! A couple of us would like to possibly put together our own Civil Rights Pilgrimage for our kids (ages TBD) for sometime next summer. If you are interested in taking part in a preliminary email exchange about this, please let me know right away.
This Sunday's Teachers: Derek and Katie
This Sunday's Nursery Volunteer: NEEDED - please contact Caitlin if you can cover ([email protected]).
Have a good weekend!
