Impact Cancelled Thanksgiving Week

Quick update...the Impact meeting for next Wednesday is cancelled since it's the day before Thanksgiving and I imagine many of you are either traveling or have family coming in town that night.  Enjoy the time off school!  I'll miss being with y'all.  

Spontaneous Game Night

So what do you do with a smaller turnout at Frontline?  Wii sports, dodgeball, volleyball and air hockey.  That's what you do!  We called an audible at 7:20pm tonight, which turned out to be a lot of fun.  A big thank you to Rich & Colby Rogness for getting the Wii working on the big screen projector.  Loved hanging out with everyone tonight!  


Oh...and Converse are fast becoming the official Frontline shoe of choice.  

Book Review: Going Public

I’m generally a fan of homeschooling.  From kindergarten through the 10th grade, my mom invested countless hours teaching reading, writing, arithmetic and everything between.  But she did more than that.  She taught me to love learning.  

By the 10th grade, however, I reached a point where mom no longer felt capable of teaching my classes.  So off I went to a local public school.  My folks made the decision very carefully.  I remember spending significant time discussing whether or not I was ready to courageously defend my Christian beliefs against the wiles of secularism.  

I walked through the doors of Clover Hill High School convinced I had just set foot on enemy territory - at least in a spiritual sense.  Priority one?  Emerge two years later with my moral convictions intact and my relationship with God unscathed.  Everything outside academics was all about survival.

Now you know why the title of David & Kelli Pritchard’s book, Going Public: Your Child Can Thrive in Public School, intrigued me.
