Pastor's Message
Happy Day Presbyterian School is a vital ministry of our church.
The late Fred Rogers, better known as Mister Rogers, once said, "Everybody longs to be loved and longs to know that he or she is capable of loving." Mister Rogers was a Presbyterian minister, with a television congregation that may well have included you. In his daily neighborhood visits, he sowed seeds of love in children that awakened something basic in their hearts. It is growth, as someone has said, as "silent as light, as subtle as life, and mightier than either."
That's what the teachers and staff of Happy Day School want for your children. Our school is aptly named; this is a happy place. The joyful sounds of happy children fill the buildings, courtyard and playground. We know your children are cherished. Like you, we view each child as a miraculous creation with inestimable potential and value.
At Happy Day, you can be sure your child is building a firm foundation that will carry them through school and all of life. They learn not only the basic rules of good behavior but the reason for trying to be good. The songs and stories, pictures and crafts all work together to help each child make remarkable discoveries. The best thing children get at Happy Day School is the love of their teachers. Our teachers and staff joyfully enter into the world of children because they truly care about children. They want what is best for your child.
Like children, adults also need and deserve a safe, loving atmosphere in which to discover your own values and beliefs. We welcome you to any of our services of worship, classes, small groups and community action projects.

Sincerely,


Rev. Dr. Dave Weidlich
Pastor
