Sample Email To Parents [To Send in May]
**This sample email is to be sent in May after the current school year ends.
The intent is to let the parents know that their children can continue to grow in the Word of God throughout the summer by signing up for U-Nite TV and to be on the look out for 5-Day Club summer ministry information in the next email.**
Dear Parents of Good News Club,
By the grace of God, we have completed another year of teaching the Word of God to the children through the ministry of Child Evangelism Fellowship.
We are blessed to have seen your children face to face. You have been part of making this possible. For it was you who signed up your child and encouraged them to memorize their verses and work on their quiet time worksheets and attend class. Without your support, involvement, and encouragement it would be a very different story.
Although Good News Club is taking a summer break, your children's growth in learning about the Word of God does not have to be. CEF provides solid Christian contents through U-Nite TV. It is free to sign-up by visiting http://unite.cefonline.com
In addition, if you are looking for a Vacation Bible School (VBS) type of activity for your child, please be on the look out for our next email. CEF partners with local churches and community partners to host 5-Day Clubs around the San Gabriel Valley area. We'll let you know when registration opens next month.
It is also by the grace of God that we plan to return in the fall for another exciting year of Good News Club. We want to let you know that we have planned an exciting fundraiser event in October. Since, as an organization, we are faith-based and non-profit; we need your help to continue. Giving can be done easily online: ttps://ppay.co/OCm6S1Ah8SM
We look forward to keeping you informed and most of all, we covet your prayers as we reach out to your precious child and even more precious children in our community.
God bless you,

Sample Email To School Principal
**This sample email is best sent in March / April before the current school year ends. The intent is to let the current Principal know that GNC intends to return next school year.**
Dear Principal / Office Manager,
My name is [Team Leade'rs Name] and I am the Team Leader for Good News Club at [ School Name]. I'm writing to you today in hope to start the communication regarding our request to [a room(s)] for a Good News Club next school year.
Prior to Summer vacation, we begin planning for next year’s after-school Good News Club program at your school. We intend to submit our Use of Facility Request Application Form for the 2023-2024 school year as soon as the school district allows.
As you are aware our after-school Good News Club is once a weekly 1.5-2 hours program on [the short day or the day your club is usually held], we’d need about 1/2 hour time for set-up and another 1/2 hour for clean-up, ie. an acutual club time of [2:30pm-4:00pm] means a [2:00-4:30PM] when requesting for the use of facility.
That being said, we have a Easter Party Club planned on [Date/Time]. We'd love to have you and the admin staff join us if you could be made available. This will be a great opportunity for you to see how much the students and our volunteers appreciate the platform that you've provided each week.
Enclosed are some additional information that I'd like to share with you on what other principals say about having Good News Club in their schools, and 10 reasons why schools want a Good news Club on campus. For your reference, 2001 US Supreme Court Ruling on Good News Club vs. Mildred Elementary School.
The parents of the students will know that we are non-affiliated after school program with the school district and we are a credible organization that is global and have been around for 86 years.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to let me know.
Sincerely,
[Team Leader's Name & Contact Info]
