“He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay.” (Matthew 28:6, ESV)

What a privilege and joy it is to share the message of Easter with our McAlder family! Last Friday we remembered the sacrifice that Jesus made when he died on the cross to pay the ultimate price for us. We can celebrate that Friday is GOOD, because Jesus did not stay dead and buried, but he rose again from the grave on Sunday morning. Jesus is our savior and redeemer, and it is through his sacrifice that we get to spend eternity in heaven with him. We have such a hope!

Throughout the past week, our teachers engaged our students with the truth of Jesus’ death and resurrection through various lessons and activities. What an honor for our teachers to point our young ones to the Lord! I pray that you found time this last weekend to pause and remember all that God has done for you, and to celebrate that Christ is risen, just as he said!

This week we get the chance to celebrate all of our amazing administrative professionals and Cougar Club staff who serve McAlder Campus so well.

We are grateful for our front office staff, Heidi Grosso, Emily De La Torre, and Kylee Mine! These ladies lead with love and compassion, and they keep us on track with their organizational skills. At any moment of the day, you will find them answering phones, handing out ice packs, chatting with students and parents, filling in calendars, planning for events, arranging subs, supporting teachers and staff, and welcoming everyone to the office with warm smiles. We are so blessed by them!  

We are also grateful for our incredible campus enrollment manager, Alex Kesler. Alex does an excellent job of connecting with prospective families, and she makes them feel welcome from the moment they step in the door. She has a heart for others, is very detail-oriented, and makes a positive impact on everyone she meets. We are so thankful for her!

We also appreciate Jane Lance, our awesome recreation site coordinator. Jane is warm and engaging with our students, creates positive connections with families and staff, and loves planning fun activities to keep our Cougar Club kiddos happy and loved. Jane and her team make a positive impact on our students each and every day. We couldn’t do it without them!

McAlder would not be the same without these amazing staff members. They make our team great!
