APRIL 2024 NEWSLETTER

A NOTE FROM BRYAN

Spring is known as “the season of hope” because it symbolizes the resurgence of life after the inevitable challenges of winter. This rising energy generally helps us feel more optimistic and driven to make the most out of our days. Spring is a time to get excited for the future, hopeful for good times to come. At Elevate Branson, we are excited for the future of our community with the students that are graduating our programs, the employees receiving scooters and the anticipation of the ground-breaking for Elevate Community. We have so much to be thankful for. 

¹¹Look, the winter is past, and the rains are over and gone. ¹²The flowers are springing up, the season of singing birds has come, and the cooing of turtledoves fills the air.

– Song of Solomon 2:11-12
