A NOTE FROM HOLLY PELSOR
DIRECTOR OF THE ARK PRESCHOOL
Dear Church Family,
The first week of preschool is always such a special and exciting time! To help our little ones adjust smoothly, we are looking for a few extra hands in our preschool classrooms during that first week of school. Volunteers would be a blessing in helping children transition, offering comfort, and assisting teachers as they welcome their new classes.
We are looking for volunteers on September 8th from 9:00-11:00 a.m. and on September 9th from 9:00-11:00 a.m. and 12:30-2:30 p.m.
Please reach out to Holly Pelsor Holly.pelsor@gecovenant.org if you are interested in helping.
Thank you!
Holly Pelsor
