The Parent Meeting


Last night we had the first parent meeting for the new school.  We invited kids from Bobita and Rio San Juan to come to the meeting with their parents and learn about the school.  The meeting went so well!  All of the kids from Bobita who were invited came, and most of the kids from Rio San Juan came as well. 

The meeting started off with Rachel welcoming everybody and telling the families there how happy we were that they came.  Ronald said a prayer, and then the mayor of Rio San Juan spoke for a few minutes.  After that, Rachel and Chad talked about what the school was going to be like and some expectations we have.  Finally after Evan closed things out with a scripture and a prayer, we got to pass out the folders that contained some information about the school and an application.  The parents seemed very interested in the school and several stayed afterwards to ask questions. 

We were all so excited about how this meeting went.  It was the first big step in getting everyone involved, and it went over so well.  The applications are due Friday, February 11, so be prayerful about these kids and their families as they work to fill out the application.  Thank you so much for all of the prayers offered up about this meeting.  I know they had a part in the success that we had.  Love and miss you all so much!  More updates soon.
