🎉 We had so much fun celebrating the end of the school year with our classes last week!

😎 Students received their own Bible reading plan and the support of our teachers and volunteers before getting competitive! Bubble-blowing, skee-ball, bowling, and a sunny game of wiffle ball helped get the wiggles out before returning to school.

See you in August!

Also outside of the classroom...

This photo was taken before an audition for the school talent show. The girls wanted to pray that their audition would go well, so they got down on their knees and prayed. They understand that there is a God they can go to — a God who cares for them.

Meanwhile, outside of the classroom...

We loved bringing our community together to celebrate all that God has done through LifeWise Mechanicsburg at our 2026 Evening of Impact Gala!

"The Ripple Effect" as shared by Ms. Karennina:

"Every moment you spend with a child creates a ripple.
- 𝘢 𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘥 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦.
- 𝘢 𝘉𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨.
- 𝘢 𝘩𝘪𝘨𝘩‑𝘧𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨.
- 𝘢 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘴𝘵.
And those ripples don't stop in the classroom.

They go home in backpacks, dinner conversations, bedtime prayers, and in the way a child treats their friends.

Every person who serves with LifeWise is stepping into the ripple effect.

Your small act of service becomes part of a much bigger story God is writing.

What they learn here becomes a spark — a spark that travels home, opens conversations, and brings the Word of God into living rooms and bedtime prayers throughout our community. That’s the ripple effect our volunteers set in motion. And as God widens those ripples, we need more people willing to step in, love well, and help shape the next wave of impact."

💖💛💖💛💖💛💖💛

We’re so grateful to serve our community in this way, and we’d appreciate your prayers as we look toward many more years of impact. More testimonies will be shared in the coming weeks as we wrap-up the 2025-2026 school year!

This week, we learned about the prophet Isaiah and his willingness to serve God. We, too, choose to be available for God's purposes saying with Isaiah: "Here I am! Send me!"

Ms. Karennina also encouraged our students to think about being in the presence of God's holiness. "What might that feel like? It's like being with a friend who seems to do everything right. Then you think about how you keep messing up. God doesn't want you to feel bad about yourself in His presence, but rather, 'I can't do this without you, God.'"
