Another great opportunity that National Heights offers is a program called Kids Cafe. Kids Cafe offers FREE LUNCH, Monday though Friday. This begins June 2nd and runs through August 8th. Lunch is served from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. for children 18 years old and younger as well as the parent / adult that is with them. There are no income requirements. This program is offered through the Ozarks Food Harvest. My dad helped start this program at our church a few years ago and is very involved with the program. Many of the students became a little familiar with him this year because he volunteered in my class several times this spring.
Every year, the church I attend, National Heights Baptist Church, offers an incredible Vacation Bible School. Many of the people that are affiliated with the planning are either teachers, or have been teachers. We have a HUGE turn out year after year. My mother is the preschool director so this year I will be working in a preschool classroom. I would like to extend the invitation to your children. There is a class for all students ages 4 - 6th grade. Please click {HERE} for more information and to register your child.
