It is a blessing and a joy to celebrate our grandparents and special guests tomorrow. Our theme for the day is from Psalms 103:17 “But the Lord’s love for those who respect him continues forever and ever, and his goodness continues to their grandchildren.” Grandparents are a blessing and a heritage.

This year, everyone who will or might want to volunteer at the school in any way must now first be fingerprinted and cleared if you have not been fingerprinted by the school within the past 5 years. It only takes about 5 minutes and is done in the Business Office, which has now moved into the house at 8247 E. Kemper. It is next to the new Welcome Center on the corner of Kemper and Snider, and directly across Kemper from the back of the high school. You can enter from the house’s driveway off of Kemper, or from the Snider auxiliary parking lot entrance. You can stop by between 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. weekdays to be fingerprinted, but if you need a time outside those hours, we can accommodate you – just email sarah.ferguson@chca-oh.org. Thank you! We appreciate all of our wonderful volunteers!!
Dr. Dean Nicholas will be facilitating an open discussion on our community read, "How to Raise an Adult."
