Some very important things you need to know...
The first is that we are only accepting 20 students in grades 7 or 8. This is to keep the group a small and workable size. If you try to register and the program is filled, please contact me to be added to the waitlist.
The second is that we would like the participants to really commit to this program. While we know that things occur like an illness that might prevent their participation, we would like to have these students attend all four CREATE nights.
Third, this program does not count toward the SKY requirement for Year 1 and Year 2 faith formation. This program is totally separate from SKY activities.
