The school filled to capacity within 3 hours of our open enrollment back in April (people started camping out Tuesday and enrollment didn't take place until Saturday.) We hired the most AMAZING teachers and limited the class size to 20. The school is 180 students K-8. We have the hardest working Board of Directors and the most dedicated parents (who volunteer a ton!). Because we have so many people willing to volunteer their time we have be able to do some pretty awesome stuff on or limited budget. Including leasing google chromebooks (one to one for 5-8 grades and two to one for 3&4 grades and several in K-2).
There is a lot of learning happening inside those doors.
One of our parents is an amazing artist. He painted this awesome tree right inside the front door.
Flag up!
We went with uniforms and I love them!
The Board hired Melissa as the administrator.
She is really the one who made this whole thing possible.
She pulled of a miracle with a lot of faith and hard work.
Mike is on the Board and our go to guy for everything. He does accounting for his "paying" job which has really benefited the school and saved us a ton of money. He is also very technically savvy which came in handy the first day when the internet went down!
Eager learners and parents!
This has been an amazing adventure and a great opportunity for Marcus and Maleen to have the BEST education our community has to offer! Now that the school is open and my life is again partially my own I will do MUCH better at updates.

Well I haven't really had much internet access lately so It's been a while since my comments too!I am so proud of you all for taking this step. Sometime3s I wonder if you really are a perfect angel. I now have my own townhome and computer! I am a freelance writer(occasionally working) and have a goal to do volunteer work for the church full time. I love my church. It is humble and full of Grace and Truth, hence the name Grace and truth. Maleen is so so pretty. I loooove hearing your updates. Well, God bless you and you all are always always in my prayers. I love you!
