Other FAQs:
My student didn’t finish his/her book this year – can they still participate?
Yes! All Awana students should participate in the celebration.
My student finished a book this year! Will they be recognized at the celebration?
Due to limited time, students who finished their book will be recognized in a “group style” at one time. 6th graders who earned a Timothy Award (over 190 verses memorized throughout T&T) will be recognized individually.
Can my student bring a friend to the celebration?
It’s recommended that friends and guests remain in the audience with the parents/family members. If the guest attended Awana several times, and feels confident going on stage, then they may participate in the celebration with registered students. If your guest will sit in the audience, please do not check them in on the check-in carts.
Can we leave when our student is finished?
For safety reasons, all students will be checked out at the same time after the Awana Celebration.
Please reach out to [email protected] if you have additional questions.
