Dear SCA Families,

Spring is a metaphor for change. Some changes we eagerly await, and some we abhor. Some changes we plan and others arrive uninvited. To all these changes we ask the gift of Your perspective beckoning us to expectation, hope, and rebirth.

May the sunlight and the rain be reminders that You are at work renewing the earth. As a God of renewal, You are ever at work in our lives, too.

Open our eyes and lives to the needed changes in our lives this Spring. Awaken us to new life and perspective, for we pray in Jesus’ name.
Amen.

Sunsmart

With the warmer weather on the way (we hope), we remind you of the School policy regarding exposure to the sun:

Simply stated, from August through May, there is a ‘No Hat – No Play’ policy. Please also ensure hats are in accordance with uniform requirements.

Lost Property

I draw your attention to the large number of clothing, drink bottles, lunchboxes and hats that are mounting in lost property and urge you to claim items that may belong to your child.

Have a lovely week,
