5th grade-An invitation to IDENTITY, ROPE-Identity symbol

As parents face that their child is getting ready to leave elementary school, fear can creep in. It’s clear that God doesn’t give us a spirit of fear, so how do we help parents embark on this new phase with boldness? The 5th grade ROPE will guide parents to help their child see WHO they are by inviting import- ant people in the child’s life to write a letter telling him/her WHO he/she is. Parents will take this a step farther by looking at the letters to discover an identity symbol that can be presented from the content. This RIte Of Passage Experience helps kids boldly carry on in life beginning to realize the INDIVIDUAL God has created him/her to be.
