I love this class. As January comes to a close we can reflect on a lot that has gone on this month. We have been praying for the needs of our community and praising Him for our blessings. We also have partnered this month with Tulare County Youth Services and brought in recycling to buy needed items for the Dream Center. The Dream Center provides basic hygiene items and more to the youth in the foster care system. I am proud of the initiative I have seen in the students to pray for them and also realize that not every kid in our county has the same kind of life as the students at our school. This is part of my deep hope that we would Grow in Wisdom and discover more about our role in His story. This next month we will put together snack mixes to donate to the Salt and Light ministry that is also reaching the struggling people in our community with the love of Jesus.
I know there are many ways to help and donate at our school so please do not be overwhelmed or feel obligated to participate. I am just informing you of the awesome things your students are doing.
If you haven't already we need your feedback to decide if we will be going again on the SLO mission trip. Please fill out this form.
***Valentine's Day -- I would love to encourage each student to simply write a note to friends as a Valentine. We have 20 students. We will have a party to exchange Valentine's on the 14th.***
Word of the Week: February
Below you will see a button that says 'Service' these are what we like to call formational learning experiences for the class this year. These opportunities are to help students engage in activities to see the world around them and how they can impact it for God. ***Please do not feel obligated to give or participate in these outreaches it is simply a way to help the kids experience and learn how they can make a difference and show God's love.

My deep hope is that we would grow in wisdom as we discover more about God and our role in His story.
