Friday Forecast – May 12th

Home and School

It’s EDUKIT Time!

Can you believe that the school year is almost over and we’re already thinking of next year?!?! Well, we are and that means that it’s Edukit time!! The items in the Edukits have been hand picked by your child’s teacher so, once you place order you won’t have to worry about school supplies come August. That means more time by the pool!! The cherry on top is that if you order between now and 6/28 the Edukit will be delivered right to SVdP and you can check off a trip to Target on your “ Back to School” to do list!! If your child still wants to purchase their own fun, flashy folders or another special item that they have to have they are welcome to do so. However, items in the Edukit cannot be replaced and they come as the teachers have requested.  So, avoid the back to school madness and running from store to store looking for a Mead 3 ring binder with built in shoulder straps that convert into a one man tent with laser beams and order your Edukit today!

Here is the link for ordering and this is also a school fundraiser and SVdP earns money back for every kit purchased! If you place your order AFTER 6/28 the Edukit will be sent to your home.

Fundraising with Oliver Labels 

Don’t lose your belongings this summer at the pool or camps. By shopping at Oliver Labels you can have pre-printed, washable labels to ensure all your items come home and don’t end up in lost and found.  Obsessed with the Home Edit Organization method? You can also purchase bin labels and even labels for your trash cans! Get organized this summer while supporting SVdP!  Use our unique link: www.oliverslabels.com/SVDP

Families step back in time to Babylon, where we’ll explore what life was like for Daniel and his friends, as captives in a strange land. You’ll craft cool projects in the Marketplace, laugh as you play Bible-times games, visit with Daniel in Bible Adventures, and sing lots of catchy-songs along the way with your new friends! Keep an eye out for registration details in April for your children entering K-5th grade in 2023. Middle school students can join the fun too as junior leaders.

Want to help make this amazing week happen? We need team leaders, environment creators, Bible-scene actors, snack masters, and prayer warriors!
