Many families take time to visit relatives, go camping, or go on a vacation during the summer months. What a wonderful opportunity to spend time with your family. Remember not to take a vacation from God's Word. "Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another and all the more as you see the Day approaching." Hebrews 10:25. For a listing of churches at your vacation destination, go on els.org or wels.net. -Mr. Kevin L.

Softball Summary Apparently our game against Trinity-St Luke s from Watertown was not meant to be, as the rain Sunday night made for unsafe field conditions on Monday, forcing us to cancel the game. Unfortunately, we could not come up with a mutually available date for another make-up attempt, so the game was simply canceled. Fortunately, we were able to get in our rematch against the second team from St. John s-juneau on Tuesday, and it was a very exciting end to our softball season. Your Hawks posted an impressive come-from-behind win in extra innings to capture their first win 10-9. Great job to all our players. Thanks also to all the parents and spectators who came to our games and cheered us on.

The six children in 2K meet from 8-11 on Mondays and Wednesdays. They are excited to come to school, play with friends, learn about new things and best of all, hear about Jesus! They enjoy putting puzzles together, building with blocks, trains and legos, working with play-doh, painting, visiting the sensory table, singing Bible songs and playing outside or in the gym. 3K News This year, there are eight children who meet from 8-11am on Tuesdays and Thursdays in our 3K program. This month, we are learning about seeds and plants. We planted seeds to put in the garden and went on a field trip to Glacier Rock Farms. The bumpy hayride was the best part of the trip! Today, we drew pictures of our favorite field trip memory in our journals. We made flower planters for Mother s Day and are working on some topsecret projects for our dads, too! Next week, we will celebrate the last week of school with a trip to Cushing Park and our last Birthday party! We d like to thank Pastor Hartwig for our chapel visits every Thursday this semester. We ve learned that Jesus is our best friend. We love to hear his word and sing his praises!
