Every Tuesday morning the teachers meet to pray together at 7:30 a.m.  In kindergarten we take turns attending the prayer meeting each week.  This is a time when students in other grades line-up outside their classroom.  Since we welcome you to come into the classroom each morning upon arrival, on Tuesdays we will welcome all students into one open kindergarten classroom, so that we may both attend this prayer group twice each month.
