Our first field trip of the year! We had a BLAST and now it is time for some Matthew 11:28 rest. We are using Fall Break to reset and rejuvenate! We hope all of our families have a great break too! Pumkin’ Patch is one for the books.

DREAMING JUST DROPPED! *everybody make some noise!*

Philippians 3:13 says:
Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before. I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

As we are gearing for the new school year, we want to accept the Share Your Story Video Challenge to potentially receive donors for our school!

Our story is one full of legacy, leadership, and a love for Christian Education. We impact the community everyday because the scholars that we pour into, actively become leaders in our community AND beyond. Just like Dr. Julius R. Scruggs, we teach them to recognize when something important is missing and seek to make the change for representation!

The song used in this video was written by our scholars this summer. It will be available for download soon!

Please like, comment, and share to help make our story heard.
