Church Program
Thank you to those who were able to support the program at Kennewick this last Sabbath. The children did very well. I look forward to seeing the children again this coming Sabbath, at Riverview SDA Church in Pasco. Please remember the uniform is white on top and black on the bottom. Since the children are singing with the 5th and 6th grade class, it would look better for all the boys to have black ties where possible.

Some students have already interviewed their parents and shared the interview on tape (optional). They've done a great job. I'm looking forward to the posters which are due this coming Friday. The posters are to show pictures of some of the things that were shared in the interview. Captions under the pictures are definitely helpful.
