From the Head of School
Honoring Commitments
This week at school the faculty and staff are talking about the importance of honoring commitments. Scripture is quite clear on this in various places, but I noticed in particular Psalm 15:4, where the Lord commends one "who honors those who fear the Lord; who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and does not change their mind." The fact that I should be prepared to honor a commitment even though it hurts gets my attention. I should be expecting difficulty in keeping some commitments and not be surprised. Perhaps I should think and pray more before making some commitments. As parents, let's be looking for teachable moments with our children about how making a commitment to do something requires following through, even when it hurts. Children at different ages have different levels of developmental maturity, but it is never too early to learn the importance of honoring commitments.

Parent Session on Bullying Postponed
We apologize for the postponement of our seminar on bullying in schools with Paul Coughlin of The Protectors. King's receives some funding each year from the Cherry Hill School District for professional development, and this event is partially funded with those dollars. However, there are certain approvals required in advance that were delayed. TKCS will be rebooking Mr. Coughlin to present this seminar, but the new date has not been confirmed. We will communicate the new date once it is scheduled. Our hope is that this also allows more families to attend and invite others.
