Students arrived with colorful new lunch boxes, shiny backpacks, and bags of school supplies on August 14, then gathered around the flag pole for our first pledge of allegiance, officially kicking off another exciting school year. While our enrollment may be low, our opportunities for strong relationships and growth is huge, both academic and spiritual. Already, our 10th grade class has been delving into how to accomplish “hard things”. We’ve read the book, “Do Hard Things – A Teenage Rebellion Against Low Expectations” by Alex & Brett Harris, a book by teens to teens. Now, they’re researching and creating their own life plan for how to step-by-step successfully accomplish what God lays in his/her path.

Fifth through eighth grade has been learning about the great controversy, the spiritual fight for control of our thoughts and actions, all day, every day. Look carefully at three of the student’s artwork depicting the battle. I also encourage you to check out our school Facebook page for more explanation, and use it as an opportunity to point others to our page. These kids are amazing!

Our bell choir is already preparing for our first performance in October. Be ready to have buttons flying off shirts in pride of these talented young people.

We are also happy to announce that we have an energetic and excited kindergartener who joined our ranks! He brings extra joy and excitement to our school family.

Early September brings our first opportunity for community service. We’ll be helping Camp Sagola get shined up for UP Camp Meeting! Leaders are always amazed at how much actual assistance our students provide. We can be proud of the strong work ethic our students exhibit.

We appreciate your continued support through your prayers and financial stewardship, giving through the combined budget. You are investing in our young people, making deposits in Heaven.

Blessings,
