I don't normally send out this many e-mails, but wanted to make sure that every parent who wasn't able to attend one of the info meetings gets all of that important information. You will find that video below. Remember, there are two more weeks without class for grades 1-6. Those classes will restart on September 13th. Everyone will "graduate" to the next grade level (the grade they're now in this school year) and join the appropriate classes. I will be away for the next two weeks on vacation, but plan to do some work on Saturday of Memorial Day Weekend. I'll do my best to answer e-mails then. Grace and Peace, Fuzzy --- ## Upcoming Events - **9/13:** First Sunday of New Classes (for Grades 1-6) - **9/16:** First Wednesday of Faith Explorers (Grades K-5) - **10/3:** International Festival - **10/16 - 10/17:** “Camping” Trip (Grades 3-5) - **12/4 & 12/5:** Christmas Walk-Thru --- ## Children & Youth Info Meeting Recap If you missed the meeting, you will find all of that info in the video below.

Plus we *have* to make s'mores. The next morning we will have breakfast and play games at the camp until students are picked up. **Where will we sleep?** We will sleep in the dorm (Beacon Hall) which has bunk beds and bathrooms within the same building. **Where is drop off/pick up?** Students should be dropped off and picked up directly at the camp. Feel free to carpool or let me know if this is a hardship and I can try to help arrange transportation. **Can my child go up late on Friday night or get picked up early?** YES! We will be at the camp the entire time, so feel free to drop off late or pick up early. Just let me know beforehand so that we can be prepared. **How much does the FULL weekend cost?** The cost of the retreat is $5 per student, if you are able. **Is there dinner on Friday night?** YES! We will be roasting hot dogs and other fun foods around the fire as kids arrive. [Register](https://gracewallingford.churchcenter.com/registrations/events/3822670)
