Prayer Promise

The Summer Is Over

PRESCOTT KHAIR

Every year at the end of August, the humidity arrives with the gentle weight of a cozy blanket, albeit a damp one that hasn’t quite dried out. It has always been my subtle reminder that summer will be over in just a few weeks. The end of summer is a ubiquitous time mourned and celebrated by students and parents respectively. On on hand the last week before returning to school means cramming as many hours at the water park, local ice-cream shop, or friends’ house as possible. And, on the other, it means packing backpacks, prepping school lunches and planning kid drop-off and pick-up routines.

Offering for August 26, 2023

Michigan Advance Partners

In the 2022-2023 school year we experienced a slight increase in our Conference K-12 enrollment. This is a blessing and shows the benefit and value parents are seeing in having their children in an Adventist environment. We anticipate that this number may continue to grow. The challenge we face is the affordability for parents and the ability of schools to function and cover the costs that are necessary to operate. Our children need your support.
