Faith First Kindergarten Program

All Kindergarten students are expected to attend the five gatherings we have scheduled.  All gatherings will take place in the church auditorium. Attendance will be taken.  Each time you come to a gathering there will be a label with your child’s name.  Please take the label with your child’s name and have them wear it.  This is how we take attendance.  When a label is here after the gathering we assume that your child was not in attendance. If you send your child to a gathering with someone other than yourself please be sure they know to take your child’s label.

All Gatherings are held at 10:30 AM
