Hey Everyone, here’s what’s up:

1.  Last week to sign up for the Mission Adelante Kids Camp, a cross-cultural serving experience that will create shared memories for you and your teen or preteen! June 20-23, from 5pm-9pm each evening, our 6th-12th graders get the opportunity to go and serve Hispanic and Bhutanese immigrant families that live only 20 minutes away from Shoal Creek. We bring our energy and creativity to excite the neighborhood children surrounding Mission Adelante and get those children excited about the year-round programming, mentoring, and tutoring that Mission Adelante does during the school year.

I still need help on Monday and Tuesday evening. We need about 4-5 more students each night and 2-3 more adults. Please let me know this week if you or your student can help, thanks!

2. If you know you’re attending the Mission Adelante Kids Camp, here are some details:

• Be in the back parking lot of Shoal Creek each evening you serve by 5pm. We will leave asap, travel together. Parents, if you are sending your student but not attending, please tell me so that I have enough space in cars for each student needing a ride.
• No dinner will be served. Eat before hand or bring a snack.
• Monday Only- I will take 12 student with me in the afternoon who want to pass out flyers to the neighborhood children inviting them to our week of camp. Please let me know if you or your student would like to go down with me to meet with the Mission Adelante staff to pass out those flyers.
• Severe Weather could be possible, so please pay attention to last minute emails or texts, since rain outs are possible.

Thanks! Email me for all things/questions at Justin.Talley@shoalcreek.org.
