KAES Keenections

Pursuing the Joy of Salvation, Knowledge, Leadership, and Community

It is exciting seeing so many of our KAES kids taking the Moses Mountaintop Challenge.

Your children can still make the decision to take the challenge and get serious about their prayer time. This prayer challenge aims to develop a habit of consistent daily conversations with God. Students can journal their praises, their requests, and even a reflection of a Bible verse they encountered that day. This easy-to-use book is designed for kids! We are asking them to journal 40 days between now and Christmas. Each entry must be dated. Rewards will be given after their 40 days are logged. Journals can be obtained for only $5 in the office. Parental permission is required to place it on the school bill. Let’s “power up in prayer”!

On Saturday, Oct. 1 KAES will have students participating in the Sabbath programs, Daybreak and Summit services, at the Keene English SDA Church. All are invited and welcome to attend and support our kids as they share their love for Jesus.

We hope that each grandparent that joined us today enjoyed their special day. Grandparents make a huge impact in the lives of our kids. So many times we see you help pick up and drop off students, make an extra trip to drop off a lunch, and bring extra clothes or forgotten homework. You do so much and we just want to say... thank you!

That's right, KAES is once again partnering with Prospera. On Thursday, Sept. 29 Prospera will be visiting to tell our kids about good health through handwashing. Students will have fun playing games, watching skits and participating in demonstrations all centered around good hygiene.

You are invited to the dedication of our new KAES Gymnasium. It has been an incredible journey seeing how God blessed at every stage of the process. We want to take a moment to recognize God and those that He used to provide our gym. We will have light refreshments after the ribbon cutting ceremony followed by a chance to walk through the gymnasium.

We have a large storage area above the offices and restrooms in the new gymnasium that we did not plan or budget to finish. It is a large space with just the plywood floors. It's not a fancy space but a great place to store equipment. We have been blessed by a generous donor that will provide the carpet for this 2700 sq ft. We are looking for a group of individuals who would be willing to contribute to the installation cost. If you want to help just place a donation at the office or online for gym carpet.
