SES WEEKLY UPDATE

God, there is a reason you tell us to have faith like that of a child. They are bursting with curiosity and full of love. Protect their innocence and preserve the spark in their eyes from the darkness of the world. Let them be little lights to their parents and teachers. Allow them to grow and have a fair opportunity to learn. May they be kind on the playground and quiet in the hallways. Protect our children from gossip and bullying. May they know and hear Your voice louder than all the others. Godly friends are important, and we pray that You bless our children with those friends today. May their friendships be innocent and light and filled with kindness, understanding, and compassionate consideration for one another.

A City of Red Deer Peace Officer stopped by to remind our school community of some of the Parking Bylaws.

• Vehicles must be parked at least 1.5 Meters from all driveway entrances and 5 Meters from all crosswalks.
