Biggest 2025/2026 Goal: This year, the theme for our K-5 students is Rooted. My goal is to help families become rooted in Christ by building strong spiritual foundations that nurture love, prayer and faith-filled living at home. Through joyful experiences, meaningful lessons, and shared prayer, I hope each family leaves feeling more connected to one another and more deeply anchored in God’s love.
