Teacher of the Month

It is with great pleasure that we recognize our Employee of the Month for June, Ida Breath, for her outstanding dedication, kindness, and positive impact on our school community. Every day, Ida arrives ready to work with a smile and a caring attitude. Whether she is washing dishes, helping prepare and deliver food carts to classrooms, or assisting wherever needed, she goes above and beyond. Her strong work ethic and reliability make her an invaluable member of our team.

What sets her apart is the genuine care she shows for everyone. As she delivers meals to the kids, she takes the time to stop by each room, greet the children, and bring laughter and joy to their day. Her warm personality creates meaningful connections with students and staff alike.

Ida is the definition of a team player, always willing to lend a helping hand and support those around her. Her kindness extends beyond her daily duties, often surprising teachers and staff with homemade baked goods simply because she wants to brighten someone's day. She treats every member of our staff as if they were her own children or grandchildren, offering support, encouragement, and compassion, when needed.

Her uplifting spirit, generosity, and caring nature leave a lasting impression on everyone she meets. She has a unique ability to bring smiles to faces and make people feel valued and appreciated. Our school is a better place because of her dedication, positivity, and love for others.

Congratulations on being named Employee of the Month. This recognition is a reflection of the joy, kindness, and excellence you bring to First Christian every single day! Congratulations, Ida!

Happy Birthday!

A Message from Children’s Ministry

The kids had a GREAT Day 1 at Vacation Bible School on June 1! With three more days to go (June 8, 22 & 29), the kids will celebrate in Rainforest Falls—continuing to explore the nature of God! They will continue doing amazing experiments, playing creative games, eating fun snacks and having adventures, along with singing and dancing to incredible music!

Monday, June 1: God is our creator. WOW, God!
Monday, June 8: God knows everything. WOW, God!
Monday, June 22: God is our safe place. WOW, God!
Monday, June 29: God is forever. WOW, God!

As part of our mission work, we invite all the kids to participate in our donation drive. We are collecting
24-count crayons for our community partner, Project 66, for their Back-to-School Bash later in the summer! Monetary donations are accepted also. You can find more information at fccedmond.org/vbs

Blessings to all!
