Partner Program Update Happy Spring!

What a great fall and winter we have had this school year. So many exciting things are happening in The Partner Program and God is working in the most incredible ways. As I shared in our last newsletter, we have a goal of acquiring 8 new partners, per month, for each full month of the school-calendar year. This is equal to 56 new partners per school year. As of March 1, we have 37 students who have new partners. The goal for our upcoming New Friends Banquet is to add 25 new partners. Some of the highlights are as follows:

• We have been able to host 31 individual partner lunches since school started last fall. Additionally, we have had partners visit classrooms and attend school events such as our Christmas concert, sporting events, fall plays, and the spring K-8 talent show.

• Students are working on Easter cards, that were created by our incredibly talented high school art teachers.

• In January, we taped our first two promotional segments with eightWest/WoodTV, which introduced the Partner Program. The response has been very positive and we look forward to doing more in the future. Scan the QR code below to watch our partner program being introduced on the eightWest!

• We are in the process of putting together a brand new partner program video. This will be debuted at our upcoming Partner Day events in April.

Your prayers and support for The Partner Program are such a blessing!

With Gratitude,

Dawne Garvey
