PHOTOS FROM CHRISTMAS 2020 AT COLEGIO ALFA & OMEGA
Denia Bridges Foundation Christmas Newsletter
By Scott Johnson, President of DBF
Dear Friends,
Colegio Alfa & Omega's theme this year is "Fuertes y Valientes", Strong and Brave in English. We at DBF are constantly amazed by how effectively faculty and staff have met the challenges of the pandemic using innovation and creativity. They are keeping their students safe and healthy and at the same time maintaining the school's high retention rates. While Alfa & Omega continues to provide the remote learning option for students, it is able to hold all classes on campus currently. And the school is providing a full schedule of the after-school music and foreign language classes for which the school is known.
However, the pandemic and the resulting economic hardship for families have created difficult challenges for all schools. Simultaneously, operational costs have increased while overall revenue has decreased.
Reacting to these challenges has kept Alfa & Omega’s leadership team focused on stabilizing operations and has put all but the most urgent repairs on the back burner for now.
In light of the current climate, we ask that you would consider supporting Alfa & Omega's increased operational costs. Next year, we plan to resume our efforts to fund facility upgrades.
On behalf of DBF's board, thank you as always for your prayers and your faithful support for Christian education and youth development in Spain!
And may the wonder of that first Christmas,
the joy of God's abundant blessings,
and the peace of Jesus' presence
be with you always.
