Bring a quote and a scripture that exemplifies the value to you. You’re team will decide on one scripture and one quote together from the ones you all bring. Be ready to collaborate and work together with your team. You’ll have a cloth flag and fabric markers to work with.

- a notebook or 3-ring binder (with paper) for a Common Place Book (we’ll talk more about this on vision days) and something to write with.
- we will be taking yearbook photos first thing Thurs, so come prepared for that.
