1. Be a savvy user of technology and ensure your child knows the electronics usage policy at the school.

Technology is moving at lightning speed and the school policies change frequently to keep up. Know what the rules are for phones, texting, going on the Internet, school laptops, iPads, iPods, etc..

And for your child’s own electronics, label everything; in fact scratch their name on the device if you own it so it will get returned if lost.

Today, information coming home in paper format is more and more limited. Don’t be the parent who doesn’t read e-mail so the teacher/school has to base the communication process on you.

2013 VBS Recap

Vacation Bible School! Whew! What a week!

Building from last year, VBS saw an average of 26 more attendees than last year, with many decisions being made for Christ. Elementary-aged children enjoyed stories, lessons and rally times at the church facility; the teenagers had a wonderful week of activities as well, culminating in Destination Unknown at the Stewart’s house on Thursday evening!

All of this was based around the object of sharing the gospel and basic Bible truths with the young people.
