events. it lets parents know how to pray. also, on longer events, we bring letters from home. this is my absolute favorite thing we ever done. we have parents write a letter per student for every day of the event. we then deliver mail every morning. i also get as many adults as i can to also write a letter to a student, all students, or even the group. i encourage parents to at minimum let the student know they are praying for them and share an encouraging verse. side note, don’t forget to get letters for your leaders, too. a note from their kids can go a long way
