School Notes
- Your values are important to you and your family. A biblical worldview dictates that we strive for our behavior and the behavior of our children to reflect godly principles. These values are first taught in the home and reinforced through our local church, but all too often Christian families are finding their biblical values being destroyed in the secular environments our students face in school. With how much time and influence school has on our children, it is imperative that the Christian parent pay close attention to the environment in which their children are being educated.
