As we enter the Lenten season this Ash Wednesday, Lisa Hanretty, former Embers mom and Head of School, will guide us in reflecting on the virtue of Honesty and its place in family life. This presentation invites us to begin Lent with thoughtful self-examination, considering our hearts, our words, and the example we set for our children. Together, we’ll explore how honesty shapes strong character, deepens trust, and draws our families closer to God.
Complementary Coffee & Childcare Provided!
All Embers Moms and their friends are welcome.

Embers Extravaganza 2026!
We are currently collecting restaurant gift cards and wine bottle donations to be used as prizes for our fabulous Extravaganza games. Food not your forte? Perhaps you have season tickets or a vacation rental you can donate? Maybe your company could provide a donation item? Any donation is greatly appreciated and can be dropped off at the Main Office.
Looking to donate your time instead? We’d love a few more volunteers to join our procurement team! This is a fun, hands-on way to make a real impact by gathering donations from local businesses. Every call, visit, or conversation you have brings us one step closer to our goals! For more information about volunteering, please contact our Procurement Chair, Tanya Habib, at tanyag88@hotmail.com.
