Welcome!

Dear Parents,
I am so excited for you to experience the JOY in the forest this year! I am so thankful to partner with all of you. I pray your child has an amazing year! I can not wait to watch them grow and find God in all that we do! This year our school theme is FAITH LIKE A CHILD. I am excited to unwrap this theme with your children together. I am praying your child falls in love with the Lord and listens to him speak in all that we do. I am excited to learn from each of them and grow together.

Pray for this upcoming year: 

Anna and I have been covering your kids in prayer! Please join me in prayer, boldly asking God for His blessing on this upcoming school year.  God is good and I know He hears the prayers of His children. I stand in expectant anticipation of how He will work in and through us and each of your beautiful children as we run a leg of this race together.
