Adequate Advocate

Gearing up and preparing for the second term of the academic year, entailed much planning, working out details, and organization.  We are thankful for the great unity of staff members who gathered together for a long staff meeting to discuss and plan for the new year and that as the student population grows, we welcome on board a few new staff members this month. Also, in addition to helping in school every morning, Jessica has started doing Preschool work with Gilead and his buddies, Matthew and Benaiah, at home every afternoon.
