We’re not a small church. We’re a locally-sourced, limited batch, artisanal church.

Teaching is not a job for those who don’t love kids.  Administration is not a job for those who don’t love teachers.

And you can’t fake it.

Just for fun, I’ve decided to create a monthly reading challenge for readers of all ages. It’s both a reading challenge and a coloring sheet BECAUSE both reading and coloring are proven stress relievers - and I feel like we all could use a bit less stress right now. Happy reading and coloring!

[Dr. Bryan Pearlman #MaslowBeforeBloom @DrP_Principal]

With the new school year about to begin, let’s remember that not every student went on a family vacation, visited an amusement park, explored nature or met new friends at a sleepover camp in the woods.

Some students summer highlights include having a roof over their head and just enough food to survive.

These students have been counting the days to return to school for safety, consistency, support, friendship, nutrition, and hope for the future!

Thank you for everything you do for our students!

Hey, uh, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but are libraries aware that there’s another solar eclipse coming in April of next year?

Principals … here’s an awesome ice breaker your teachers are guaranteed to love…it’s called “Go work in your classroom.” #edutwitter
