Mosquitoes and Us

For those of who are still trying to find ways to deal with the ongoing mosquito issue, please check out this information shared with us by the San Gabriel Valley Mosquito & Vector Control in the link below.

Stop the Bites

Vector Control recently visited our site as well as the surrounding houses/apartment buildings. While they didn’t find any breading hot spots, that doesn’t mean that mosquitoes don’t continue to be a nuisance and issue for many of us. For more information and resources you can visit www.SGVmosquito.org/about-repellents.

Chapel – November 2020

November is full of so many things from autumn leaves, squash, farm fun, concepts of gratitude/thankfulness as well as times spent with family and loved ones. It is the family theme that inspires this months Bible focus on Noah’s Ark. Noah’s Ark is the prefect story for preschool to discuss the concepts of talking/listening to God, family, and of course animals. The children had a wonderful time singing “Rise & Shine” and “This is the Day” along with reading from our children’s rhyming Bible.

The Outdoor Classroom is Squashing it this Fall!

Everywhere you look in our Outdoor Classroom, you can’t deny that the Autumn season is upon us. The children are having a fantastic time exploring all the various squash as well as utilizing fall themed colors in art.

Fall is a time of harvest but also of growth. We are enjoying watching our brand new grass seedlings push out of the soil and reach towards the heavens.

11 Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so.
