As I greet students at the beginning of the school day, I often find myself overwhelmed with joy as students share with me their new haircut, news of a lost tooth or show off their brand new, super-fast shoes. These children of ours are growing, learning and developing their skills. They are busy exploring all that wonderful God-given potential and becoming who He intended them to be. I've watched some of these students for three years and their journey causes me to give God glory and thanksgiving. Words will never be adequate to share with you how grateful we are at South Side for each precious child and the partnership we have established with you. I am so grateful that God will always hold these children fast in the palm of His mighty hand.
