January 2018
Happy New Year 2018!
Although it is somewhat late, please accept my Happy New Year greeting for 2018. I pray that we would all experience the love of Christ in a greater portion and measure this year.
After a lovely 3 week Christmas Vacation, the students and staff returned in January very relaxed and rested. What a treat! It seems that we often return to school in January tired and spent from all the activities of the Christmas vacation. That was not the case this year. I heard many comments expressing gratitude for the extended Christmas Break.
