From the Head of School

An event you do not want to miss!

This Wednesday we will have a team from Bully Proof America come and speak to our children. Dennis Rogers, the World Strongest Man, will be with the team and will be showing off his strength to the kids.
 
My only worry was the fact that we truly do not have any "bullying" at the school. I am certain we have teasing and some strong characters, and I would have preferred a program to show kids how to be kind and respect others.
 
However, the main speaker is a Christian and understood where I am coming from.
 
The program cost is being underwritten by Mr. Hartless, the father of 2nd grader Bella. Thank you, Mr. Hartless!
 
Middle School Chapel will extend till 9:30
Lower School Chapel will be from 9:30-10:30 and will NOT include PK3 through K, it will only be for 1st Grade-4th Grade.
 
Please join us. It will be worth it!  Click HERE to view their website if you are interested in looking them up before Wednesday.
