GARDEN CLEAN-UP
Dear Family,
We invite you to participate in our "Garden Clean-up" next Saturday, May 2, at 9:00 a.m. We need help to prepare the garden for planting. We appreciated the help we got last year. After our clean-up we again plan to go to Andy's for lunch. Hopefully, the weather will cooperate.

Job Changes
Hello family! I just wanted to keep you in the loop of my life: I am going to be teaching at Timothy Christian next year as a second grade teacher. It wasn't for a lack of love of Calvin, but rather because of the distance. Here's the blurb I wrote to my Calvin family - it will tell you the just of what is happening. In short, I feel bittersweet but ultimately excited about the change :)
It is bittersweet for me to announce that I will be leaving Calvin after the close of this 2014 - 2015 school year. My husband and I live out in the Western Suburbs, and I will be teaching at Timothy Christian School next year, a few miles from where we live. This decision is a result of geography, and I wish with all my heart that I could fold the map to make Elmhurst and South Holland to be next-door neighbors! Although I am thankful for a community close to home in which I can serve, it was a really difficult decision to make the move. As we considered our options and looked ahead to our family's future, it became clearer through prayer and time that this would be the best thing for us. I want to express to you my gratitude for my time here, as well as how Calvin has shaped me.
Calvin Christian has blessed me beyond measure. As I walk through the halls, work with my fellow teachers, and spend each day with my students, I can feel the love of Jesus in this school. From Denise at the front desk all the way to Jackie coordinating extended care, every colleague has shown me their generosity, hospitality, and passion for the kids and for the Lord. The families at Calvin are involved, supportive, and invested in the academic and spiritual development of their students and I am so impressed with the growth that happens here every day. I love that Calvin is a place rooted in its community and reflective of the family of God. When I consider the prospect of moving on, I know I will miss it here so much.
I am overwhelmed at the thought of leaving this special place. For now, I am trusting in the Lord's leading that this is the best thing for my family and me. I will continue to pray for the learning and growing in the Lord that happens daily at Calvin Christian. I truly think of you all as family; please know that you hold a special place in my heart.
