Good Afternoon Parents,

Transcription

1 Good Afternoon Parents, Thank You for looking into the Calvary Christian Mentor Program, we appreciate the opportunity to serve you and your family for the duration of summer break. Though this is a pilot program, if we find that we have succesfully filled a need, we will keep it running year round. This program was created so that students in the 5 th, 6 th and 7 th grades will have a safe place to come to during the summer months. A place where they can be encouraged to learn and grow into the young adults that God wants them to become. They will have the opportunity to explore our community and participate in different activities that will encourage an active and safe lifestyle. As they begin to help the younger children with projects, they will be learning how to have a servant s heart, but also, through our Bible studies and daily devotions, they will learn how to become solid leaders in our community. I am currently looking into different professional fields that allow job shadowing. Police, attorneys, doctors, judges, aircraft pilots and many more. I feel that if a student can become more familiar with the line of profession that they are interested in, it could help them make wiser decisions for their future. Remember, this is a pilot program and with any new program, there are going to be some kinks. Please pray that God will speak, we will listen and our children will prosper. If you should ever have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at anytime. I look forward to the joy of serving you and the students here at the Calvary Christian Mentor Program. In HIS Service, Mrs. La Donna Skupowski Director of Calvary Christian Mentor Program School Office (208) Message Phone lskupowski@ccsboise.org Jeremiah 29v11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thought of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope
