The First Year!The first year of school is the foundation for the future building blocks of education. We desire to make LEARNING FUN by creating an exciting, vibrant, loving, structured setting for learning and character building to occur. We believe that education must take place in three different places: the home, school, and church.

What's Happening
September Recap
Our first home project was "All About Me." We decorated the hallway with posters showing our favorite things. We also celebrated Johnny Appleseed with a big "Applefest." We sang songs about apples and Johnny Appleseed. We sampled all kinds of apple treats and made amazing crafts. Mrs. T stopped in and taught us how to make bird feeders using pine cones, peanut butter and seed. She also stopped in with her new kittens for a fun story time.
