Don’t you see that children are God’s best gift?
the fruit of the womb his generous legacy?
Like a warrior’s fistful of arrows
are the children of a vigorous youth.
Oh, how blessed are you parents,
with your quivers full of children!
Psalm 127 (MSG)
I want to take the opportunity to commend you for choosing Christian Education. Children are God’s greatest gift and we should not take for granted the responsibility to raise children who love the Lord with all of their heart, mind and soul! Your children will spend 16,000 hours in school from kindergarten through twelfth grade and according to Dr. Edward Gamble, they will graduate with two important things: a diploma and some kind of worldview. He goes on to say that while the diploma will help get them into college or perhaps their first job, the worldview will shape every choice they make for the next 60 to 80 years. Decisions about relationships, faith, business, personal habits and even politics will conform to the worldview they formed during those 16,000 hours in school. It is the mission of Northwood Temple Academy to help develop and foster a Biblical worldview that will become a lens in which your child looks at all of life.
Re-enrollment begins this week. I encourage you to re-enroll early in order to reserve your spot. This year we had to close enrollment for grades 2nd through 4th and also 6th and 8th. We are operating this year almost at capacity. We experienced the highest enrollment in the history of Northwood Temple Academy. We give God the glory and praise!
All returning students will be automatically re-enrolled for the 2020-2021 academic year. Students will not be considered enrolled until the registration fee is paid. This fee will be applied to your FACTS account under the 2020-2021 school year. It is important to let the main office know if any family information has changed, such as address, telephone numbers or medical information.
Please take note that early registration will only run from January 24 through March 31! So if you want to take advantage of the discounted application fee you will need to re-enroll by March 31, 2019! Tuition and fees for the 2020-2021 school year are attached to this message.
Will you help us fill all the seats for the 2020-2021 school year by inviting your neighbors and family to come to Open House on February 20th? Stop in the main office to pick up some promotional cards to share with others. Stop by the office to find out how you can receive free tuition for one child next year!
Thank you,
Renee McLamb
