Hello MTC Families and Friends,

Another week has gone by, and I am so impressed with the children. Their focus on learning and respect for their classmates is evident everywhere I go. That is a testament to you, the parents. These kids are truly our leaders of tomorrow and what a blessed future indeed.

The results of the HSA Goal Survey are in and security was by far the front runner which falls in line with what I was hearing at our HSA meeting. I appreciate you taking the time to complete the survey and help me better understand the needs of our community. Second place was technology and the other three were all very close.

So, what does this mean? I have put the kitchen project on hold for now to divert some of those funds to be used to harden our building and increase security. The fence and locks are my top priority. I am attending a school safety seminar next week where I hope to gain even more insight into this important topic. I will continue to keep you updated as additional decisions are made.

The remaining areas are still important for our school and will not be forgotten. I will work with HSA and SAC to create both a short-term and long-term plan to help us set goals and meet the needs of our students and families. Again, I will keep you updated on decisions as they are made.

We have many blessings in our world and many challenges. Raising children in society today is more challenging than ever. Being a parent is truly the hardest job you will ever love. To help us all in our endeavor to raise children in the light of God’s grace and love, Spirit FM is doing a 30 day prayer challenge where we are called to pray for our children. The details are in this newsletter. I hope you will join me in the most powerful tool at our disposal to protect our children, prayer.

May God bless you and your family. 

Yours in Christ,

Teresa Caraker
Principal
