Programs – Elementary School

A simple Party to send off students to stand strong in middle school.

Big Send Off Party: Fun filled end-of-the-year event for every child in the last grade of elementary school and their parents to come eat, socialize and learn how to rely on their faith during their teenage years. Sponsored/planned/financed by a parent committee from each individual school (potentially every student in the district, and their parents, could hear the message of Christ through these parent-planned parties).

Make good choices: Encouraging a personal relationship with Christ that will strengthen students in their desire to live a life of good morals and purpose
You are not alone: Helping our soon-to-be middle schoolers know there are others who also want to live a life pleasing to God and that together they can stand strong
Encouragement for Moms and Dads: Supporting parents purposing to establish homes of faith and uniting together in order to help their students stand strong
Free S³ t-shirt for every student and an optional day-by-day prayer and memory verse flip calendar for parents

A Special Delivery Message for Students…

Standing Strong Together - An encouraging talk celebrating the new journey into middle school. Students feel relieved when hearing they aren’t alone when faced with new experiences because God, through a relationship with Jesus Christ, is always with them! The 10 Commandments are explained in a practical and fun pre-teen kind-of-way and provides students a foundation for good and moral decision making.

A Special Delivery Message for Parents…

Contents Under Pressure – Handle with Prayer

A pep talk reminding parents that their children are like packages who have Contents Under Pressure. The #1 thought on every pre-teen’s mind is “What does everyone think about me?” This thought causes even the most spiritually grounded student to feel insecure and even compromise what they know is true and right!

Tips are given on minimizing the dangers inherent in computers, cell phones, sleepovers and unsupervised girl-boy parties. Too much too soon leaves kids anxious, embarrassed, stressed and insecure. But, the good news is if we lead spiritually, discipline lovingly, encourage endlessly, realizing their emotions are Fragile and we Handle With Prayer—the teenage years may be easier and even fun!
