Praise report!!!!!

Hallelujah!!! The Lord is moving. We had our first parent meeting today. They were introduced to the new teachers, and the other things that are being put in place. First, the school hours have changed. Instead of 7:00 AM to 1:00 PM, it is now 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Secondly, the first grade has been moved from the grade school to the kindergarten building, and the 6th grade to the Jr. High building. After the meeting, I asked one of the teachers if she had heard any comments. Oh, yes. Parents of the first graders were very happy to have their kids back in the kinder building because of the steps at grade school. The steps are not unifrom. Sometimes you need a short leg and sometimes a long leg! And all were happy about the change in hours. Some of the kids didn't eat breakfast before leaving for school. They live higher up in the mountain, and they would leave their homes around 6, and it would take almost an hour to get to school. That's not good. We do have a snack time at 9:30 or 10, and many of the kids ate their breakfast at that time, but that's a long time for them to wait. So thus far all is well. I praise the Lord for what He is doing. Even the atmosphere in the school has changed. It's calmer and more peaceful. Also this year there are no more than 25 students per class except for a couple of special circumstances. The teachers are happy about that.

We had a situation concerning one student because he came after the class had been filled. The adult in charge went to the district, and we received a letter. And since I'm the Rectora, it was up to me to accept the student or not to accept him. I was not obligated to do so. But the Holy Spirit was saying to accept him, so I did. However, there are stipulations. If the adult does not follow through with the monthly cost, and the student is as rebellious as last year, then he will no longer be a part of our school. The person at the district said he was going to speak with the adult to make sure he understood the terms, etc., etc. And I learned that private schools can choose their students. They do not have to accept all kids as do the public schools. I thought that was interesting. 

So now we just need the Lord to send us two more teachers, and I know He will. I thank all of you that have been praying about this situation. God bless you!!!
