2025 Float into summer book fair

    It Takes A Village

    Calvary's Partnership with Lewis & Clark Elementary

    "It takes a village to raise a child" is a popular proverb with a clear message: the whole community has an essential role to play in the growth and development of its young people. Here at Calvary, we have joined our neighborhood school, Lewis and Clark, in a partnership to help meet the needs of children and teacher. Lewis and Clark Elementary is a part of our village. 

    What does the Partnership Look like

    We are so excited to partner with Lewis and Clark in several ways. We have identified children who benefited from our Christmas Angel Tree and the Hat/Mitten Tree. The youth at Calvary have donated money to assist with snacks for hungry children and school transportation. We have celebrated with the students and staff on the last day of school with root beer floats and books, and we have done collection drives for outerwear, pajamas, and clothing. One of our favorite ways we partner with this awesome school is through reading.

    BACKPACK PROGRAM Ends during the summer

    HOW DOES IT WORK

    Students identified as food insecure get assistance for lunch during the week, but what happens to those same students over the weekend? For that, we have the backpack program. 


    Calvary gets food items and packs the items on the third Tuesday of each month at 6:00 pm. Backpacks will be brought to the school, and during the school year, eligible students will receive food for the weekends.


    In backpacks students will get: 

    2 breakfast items

    2 lunch items

    2 fruit items

    2 snack items

    2 juice boxes


    EXAMPLES

    Ramen noodles - chicken

    Soup or noodle cups

    Mac and cheese cups

    Cans of chicken noodle soup

    Instant oatmeal packets

    Fruit cups/applesauce

    Individually  packed snack items not containing nuts like:

         •fruit snacks, goldfish crackers, granola bars, oreo packs, etc.

    Juice boxes (100% juice)



    It costs around $100 to feed 1 child for the school year. We would love for you to

    consider sponsoring 1 or more children for the 2025-2026 school year to provide

    weekend food but any and all donations helps to make this program work.

    Starting August 1 , donation station tables will be placed outside each worship

    space or you can drop items off at the front office during the week.

    2025 end of School year celebration

    Calvary’s It Takes A Village Ministry is helping Lewis & Clark Elementary students to FLOAT INTO SUMMER! Can you help? 

    Calvary had a blast serving root beer floats and celebrating the end of their school year! We have learned so much about the students learning at our closest neighborhood school over the year. With that learning came the idea to send the students home with a few books each to help keep up the excitement of reading through the summer months. 


    While we work to meet the physical needs of the students through our monthly backpack program, we also want to help them meet their learning goals. We are looking to you to help us fill baskets of books that the students will get to select in their last days of school. 


    Donate a book or two any time between now and May 10. Books must be new or like new and appropriate for children ages 5-12. Please, no board books, books with sounds, or moving parts. We also ask that there are no marks or writing in the books. Check out the registries by clicking the orange button. 


    Book Registries

    When children have a home library, as little as 20 books of their own, they achieve three more years of schooling than children who don't have books at home. 


    Thank you all for your help this year with this ministry!
