This weekend, my son, Ezra, and I swung by school to take care of a couple small tasks and give mom a break at home.

Showcasing a beautiful area for prayer and the recognition of those who have paved the way for Christian Continue reading Parent Note – October 18, 2021 →

After a football-filled weekend, we’re ready for another great week at school!

This certainly has been a year for the books!
