The children have really enjoyed starting Music Class and Chapel this week! Be sure to ask your child about Max, the preschool church mouse.  Max helps us learn about God's love and is very excited to have everyone back for weekly Chapel visits.

This school year, Promises Preschool is collecting soda pop tabs for the Ronald McDonald House.  The recycling of pop tabs is one of the largest fundraisers for the Ronald McDonald House each year.  There is a pop tab collection jar on the preschool sign-out table.  Pop tabs can be collected from soda cans, soup cans, vegetable cans, etc..  We will deliver the pop tabs to the Ronald McDonald House once per month.  Thank you in advance for helping with this easy outreach program!
