Tuition Information

We would appreciate your prompt payment of tuition in December. With the onset of winter, our fuel bills increase. We would like to pay our teachers before the Christmas break, so your prompt payment will make this possible.

With a student body count of 110, it is absolutely critical that tuition payments be made on time. Thank you!

"Counting Blessings"

Dear Parents and Guardians,

As a child, I remember singing the hymn, “Count Your Blessings”, at church and at home. It was a reminder to think about all the good things that God had given us.

“Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your blessings, see what God has done;;;”

As a single parent, when my daughter Jessica was little, and money was tight, sometimes it was tough to count blessings. There would be times that she would be saddened that her father did not contact her. So, we used to sit in the car and talk about all the other people that God had put in our lives. We learned together to name our blessings – the people that God gave us – one by one. Mr. And Mrs. Willis, Mr. And Mrs. Anderson, her grandparents, teachers, Sunday School teachers, her friends… and the list went on. We started calling it our “Blessing List.” Somehow, focusing on the blessings that God gave us helped us to realize how much we DID have. It is scriptural to give thanks for all things, not just at Thanksgiving. God’s Word states in I Thessalonians 5:17, “give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.”

This Thanksgiving, when you sit down for your dinner, take time to give thanks. Create your own “Blessing List.” Put 5 kernals of corn on your plate and use them to count your blessings. Offer a prayer of thanksgiving to God. Whatever you do, take time to give thanks to the Giver of all things, our great and mighty God.

Karen I. Hodges, Principal

· We have student leaders working with Mrs. Lunsford to lead worship. These are students in grades 4- 8 who help with singing or percussion.

· Melanie Ferreira and Brianna LaCasse (grade 8) set up the sight and sound system each week, ensuring that the sound is at the correct level, and that the PowerPoint slides advance at the right time!
