HEY BUDDY, CAN YOU SPARE SOME TIME?
By Dan Philips
The hazy, lazy days of summer are upon us, and that means back to school days are not far behind. However, it is still yet to be seen exactly what school days will look like this year.
According to Lincoln K8 Principal Tom Blumer, our Buddy and Fine Arts Ministry is considered a vital piece of the LK8 community. He shares that our programs help students on many levels by providing needed tutoring, mentoring, and positive relational components to the students that need it the most.
How school will happen has not yet been finalized. District 150 is most likely going to have a hybrid learning model with students splitting their time between in person and online learning. They are still working on those plans and have not addressed how they will deal with volunteers assisting in the schools.
The bottom line is that all decisions relating to the students, faculty, and staff will place safety and health at the forefront of any decision. This may mean that our Buddy and Fine Arts Ministry and programs may have to do things a little different this year, or perhaps even sit out a year.
Please continue to pray for our Adopt-a-School partner, Lincoln K8 School, to find a safe solution to the needs of the students, faculty, and families of our neighbors and community.
Stay tuned as we will update this situation as it develops.
