Participation in the Weekday School creates friendships that may carry through the elementary and teenage school years and lead to a lifelong commitment to and participation in the life of the church. For some, the school even provides an extended family. The Weekday School has provided a nurturing, personal, and spiritual involvement that supports us as we raise our children so far away from our own family. Strong parental dedication to the school has recently resulted in the construction of a new playground and renovation of the existing playgrounds. The work was made possible by funds generated entirely from parent and grandparent donations.
Many families become church members after their initial exposure to the church through the school.
The school has also made it a mission to enable many disadvantaged children to attend, through its scholarship program. Contact Janis Rikard, 376-8683, for information about the Weekday School at First Presbyterian Church.
