Dear Partners,
We are living through some uncertain times. Thank you for your grace as we make daily decisions in reaction to rapidly changing circumstances centered around COVID-19. We are praying for all of you and the well-being of your families.
You have probably heard that Governor Inslee has mandated public and private school move to online learning from Tuesday, March 17 – Friday, April 24. As you know, we provide our students, families, and alumni with so much more than educational services. Our school is a hub for daily care, therapeutic healing, and shelter. Our EA families are our own families. Although we will be working remotely, we will continue to support every student and family. We are a lifeline and our dedicated staff will continue to be there for those in need. The Re:New Homes will continue to serve residents as per usual.
We now know that this situation will go on longer than we originally anticipated. We don’t know the long-term effects it will have on our ministry and community. As it stands, we have cancelled our Re:New Homes Breakfast Fundraiser scheduled for April 24, and we are working on making this a virtual event.
Right now, we need you, our partners. Please keep Eastside Academy, our students, families, alumnae and staff in your prayers. Please continue to support our ministry. We are in this together, and we take comfort in knowing that God has a master plan and will continue to guide us through these upcoming months.
Blessings,
Elyse Nicholson
Executive Director
