Hebrews 4:9–10 gives us the heart of our theme this year:
“There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God's rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his.”

Our Words of Wisdom program is designed to build social-emotional skills throughout our school by encouraging positive character traits, strengthening unity, and providing opportunities for recognition and family involvement. Each month, students and staff will focus on a character trait supported by Scripture and practical ways to live it out.
September’s Word of Wisdom is Resilience — recovering from adversity and continuing forward even when things are difficult.
Throughout the month, teachers will incorporate the trait and Bible verses into their classrooms. When a teacher recognizes a student demonstrating resilience, the student may receive a “Caught Living It” card and be recognized at Eagle Rally and/or in our newsletters.
September Scripture: “But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.” — Isaiah 40:31
