Well, if most of you are like me, January flew by. And somewhat literally with that tornado, eh? We were able to "test" our basement bunker. Staff and students were quite safe from the "winter" winds.
We have much to give thanks for all of your support, encouragement, and financial giving. Please pray for us, as the coming months generally see a decrease in donations that come in; however, we have increased our monthly operations expenses with the administrative costs of running this ministry. We are confident that God will meet every need, not only financial, but the spiritual and physical of the staff and students.
We currently have Stephanie, Katie, Amanda, Amber, Brittney, Hailey, and Beth as students.
Abby starts on Monday. Please keep them in your prayers.
Many of you have inquired about helping out with items needed at the school. The following is a list:
Paper towels
Cleaning supplies
Large fitness ball
Groceries for the hot lunch program
Kleenex
Clear sheet protectors
Toilet paper
Other items needed are :
Gift certificates - Blockbuster, Movie Theater, Taco Bell, Subway, McDonalds, Kohls, WalMart, etc.
Train (Metra) Passes - for field trip to Chicago
Special thanks to Jenny Ray, who came and volunteered her time to finish decorating the bathrooms for the school. She was also gracious enough to take some photos and include them in her design motif.
We are in need of a volunteer to come in the mornings and answer the phone for the school. If you are interested, please call Tina at 262.275.6466.
Look for some photos to go up next week !
