Human flourishing, however, does not happen in a vacuum; it does so within a context. Kipling wrote: If you can keep your head when all about you...

A prayer over you this week, teacher🙏. Benediction for Teachers: "Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen." Hebrews 13:20-21 (NIV)

Excellence isn't achieved alone. It grows through relationships: teachers investing in students, classmates encouraging one another, coaches building character and teams, and parents partnering with the school in the growth of their children. I’ve also seen how this Community values coming together—at games, for performances, in classrooms, on the sidelines, through celebrations and service, and in the everyday moments that make our school feel like home.

They're here! For two months, our classrooms had been empty, our hallways had been quiet, and our playgrounds had been still. But now, the children are back, and what a wonderful difference that makes!

Remembered on the day 6/06. This is 606 from the Mennonite hymnal. Maybe the most famous of all 606's. One of my favorite Doxology renderings.

Recently, we welcomed several new faculty and staff. I created an acrostic for them. I think it applies to us all.
