Dicey Ice!

Well! I miss you guys! Two ice days in a row! I pray you are staying warm, safe and well rested. Can't wait to see you on Friday! 

Kids Food Basket Week! 

Our school blog opens with this information regarding our food collection effort coming soon:

Our prayer, as your partners, is that the words we say, the behaviors we model and the experiences we plan would shape your children's heart to look just a little more like Jesus' heart every day. By embedding our Holland Christian Discipleship Practices in the learning activities and daily life of our community, we believe we help to prepare our children for a life lived closer to God's call as Kingdom Bringers.

50 schools from throughout West Michigan will be jumping in to work together to help bring food to "nourish kids to be their best" thanks to the leadership of Kids Food Basket. Guess what! Forest School is invited to join in with this important effort. Every child knows the discomfort of hunger. Many of our children don't understand the depth of struggle with food insecurities but we certainly can work together to help ease the pain children who are our neighbors are feeling. March 20-March 24 we will live into Kids Food Basket Week! Take a peek at this flyer to learn about some of the ways your family can also get involved if you choose: KFB Week 2023-School Flyer You'll find a wish list of food items children in our area have shared that they enjoy eating the most. There is a QR code your family can contribute to this dear organization if you'd like. And, finally, you can wear orange on Go Orange Day, March 24. Orange is the color of Childhood Hunger Awareness and we want to help make a difference. As we grow in our gardening skills, our dream is to one day raise fresh, organic treats for these yummy sack suppers.

We hope you'll jump in and joy us in learning to live as the servants Jesus called us to.
