The Free Will Offering Rummage Sale is set up and ready for everyone to shop. If you find prices on items, it was left on the items from the donors. All items are free will offering: you “pay” what you think it’s worth or what you can afford. Change will not be available.

These photos are an overview of what is set up in our school gym. We have purses, bags, jewelry, shoes, clothing, maternity, baby accessories, kitchen items, household decor, bedding, pillows, toys, books, crafting items, and holiday items. There is something for everyone!

Please come with an empty trunk so you can choose lots of goodies!

Our Free Will Offering Rummage Sale is this week! When we say free will offering, we truly mean it. You can choose to pay what you can afford or what you think it’s worth to you. You simply drop your cash donation in a box. Change is not available.

We’re still accepting donations through Thursday. The exterior gym doors will be open during office hours (except when gone to lunch). Simply pull up and bring in your donations.

We’ll try to post pictures of the items on the sale on Thursday evening. We normally have clothing for everyone, shoes for everyone, books, holiday items, kitchen items, household decor, and lots more! All proceeds go towards our scholarship program to assist our families in affording a Christian education.

Save the date (if you haven’t already) and help us spread the word!

Mrs. D’s PreK-3/4 class has wrapped up an amazing school year! THANK YOU to our families and friends, and everyone else who supported us, cheered us on, and helped us grow. Throughout this school year, the students have learned so much, had lots of fun, and made new friends. “As one door closes, another one opens.”

Today was PTL Fun Day! A huge shout out to PTL for renting inflatables, ordering pizza, buying sodas and juice pouches, and ordering sno cones from Fire & Ice. The day was a huge success and a great way to end the school year and kick off summer break. Here’s a photo of our 8th grade graduates as a final hurrah together. Check out the full album of photos to see all the inflatable fun.
