Happy Thanksgiving!

It makes my heart so happy to envision each of you sleeping in a tad tomorrow morning, spending time in worship and then laughing together with loved ones around a table that is NOT in our staff center! You each work so hard and pour so much of your heart and soul into the role you've been blessed to serve in here at Rose Park....please hear and accept a heartfelt THANK YOU on my own behalf as well as on behalf of all of the families you serve and impact in big and small ways. Friends? A very Happy Thanksgiving to each of you!

Tyler Farrel
We have been blessed with a new member of our custodial team! Welcome to Rose Park, Tyler! We hope you are blessed by and with our Rose Park family!

Richard Nagelkirk Chapel
Richard Nagelkirk is pretty world famous for the basketball shot he made many years ago as a senior. He replicated the "swish" moment with ease before the closing of the civic center. Richard is now a dedicated servant in the HC athletic and BOM programs. He has requested the opportunity to come to Rose Park to share his unique story with our students during chapel. I thought I would check with the masses first. If you would like to tap into Richard to take your chapel date, please let me know! He'd be thrilled and I think our students would be blessed to hear how God has used Richard's life to share a beautiful story of grace, acceptance and LOVE! Here is the scoop if you are curious.

Staff Meeting
Our design thinking staff meeting will take place on Wednesday, December 4. In reality this might be a 3:30-4:30. If you have thoughts on the layout of classrooms and traffic flow, please bring your thoughts on the map you received a month ago. We will all need to be ready to listen to others' perspectives, pivot and speak with truth and grace! I'm excited to listen to everyone's wisdom as we make considerations for building layout from a student learning perspective!

Code Plus Drill

We will hold a Code Plus drill on Tuesday morning at 9:30. The list below are the good folks who comprise our Code Plus team. If your name is listed here, would you please plan to meet together in the conference room on Tuesday, December 3? We'll refresh ourselves on the plan!
