Jun 12-Macomb Moments



While I know kids (and some parents) are thrilled school is out, I am a bit disappointed.  Don’t get me wrong, I love summer break as much as most, but May was such a great month, I am sad to take a bit of a pause. 
We had an AMAZING end of school, free pizza lunch.  We had approximately 150 people present (with very few seniors – as they had finished classes)! My favorite moment is that the Special Education class came with their teacher.  Awwww….

If you ever wondered how high those fifty pizza boxes would stack, you will have to use your imagination – because the picture with Tye Adair, Mayor Inman and myself is only 40 boxes high!  There were great community partnerships: Pastor Timm Harding of The Crossing volunteered for the dunk tank, the Mayor served pizza, Skateland donated the inflatables, several organizations set up a “fair” like station available for kids to stop by.




To celebrate our seniors we hosted a Dip & Glow Party.  We had all sorts of dippers for chocolate, white chocolate and cheese fondues – then had a glow in the dark party.  We had so much fun at our dipping party, we had the same format for our volunteer appreciation party.

Heading into summer, we are looking forward to camps, our photo scavenger hunt, prayer walking and other fun activities.  Some are scheduled, some are still to be added.
