Hi Families,
I hope you all had a really wonderful time on Sunday celebrating Christ’s resurrection. I was bummed that we couldn’t gather together at ReCAST to celebrate, but still so thankful we could celebrate at home. It’s been really fun seeing pictures/videos of those of you who have participated in the last few challenges. Nice work! If you haven’t had chance to check out some of the pictures/videos that were submitted, check out the ReCAST Kids facebook page.
Since our Stay Home, Stay Safe order has been extended, I wanted to send you a few more lessons. Remember, these are VERY BRIEF overviews, but I wanted you to have them in case you’d like to keep moving forward with your kiddos. Just like I mentioned before, if you need further content, guidance, and or ideas for application reach out to me our your child’s teacher. We’re happy to help 🙂
If you need anything this week or would like me or the staff to pray for you, let me know and I’ll be sure to pass it along.
