From Our Head of School
Dear Prince Parents:

THANK YOU for your continued partnership in HELPING US MAINTAIN OUR PANDEMIC SAFETY PROCEDURES with students. Last week, I visited two other school campuses and spoke with their leaders, which strengthened my belief that our lower infection rate (still at four students) is largely due to the decisions you are making as parents. Keeping children with fever (any fever) at home, ensuring students come to school wearing a mask, and carefully choosing what outside school social gatherings to attend as a family all help reduce the risk of exposure to our broader school community. Regretfully, we have yet another group of high school students in our service area who attended a non-school sponsored dance that resulted in dozens of them being placed in quarantine due to contact tracing. Thank you for your continued support and wise decision making as we continue on this journey together.

While we regret we cannot hold our traditional on-campus student-led Veterans Day celebration this week, we do have an electronic billboard in the Epps Bridge Parkway area of Athens acknowledging our veterans and their sacrifice to preserve our freedom and American way of life. We look forward to welcoming all our veterans back to campus next year so our students can honor them for their service to our country.

In closing, thank you for your recent attendance at our outdoor “Grooving on the Green” event, which marked the kickoff to this year’s annual fund. The purpose of the annual fund is to make up the difference between what we charge you for tuition and what it actually costs to educate a student at Prince. This year, that difference is $374.25 per student, and our annual fund goal of $250,000 helps keep the price of a Christ-centered education within reach for many of our families. The window of youth closes quickly, and your tax-deductible gift to the annual fund is a wise investment that yokes family, church, and school together to prepare students for the kingdom, and a career, today.

With warm regards and in His service,
Seth Hathaway, Ed.S.

Chaplain's Corner
Dear Parents,
 
This past week in Chapel, we had a guest speaker, Mark Lamb. Mark spoke to our students about the necessity of remembering God and His goodness in times of pressure. Mark shared very personally about the pressure times in his life when he needed to be reminded that God is still good and worth trusting. He finished by encouraging our students to seek those reminders from God and to remember the salvation that God has offered us in Christ.
 
It seems like this entire year has been a long and drawn out pressure moment for our students, and I hope you pray that our students would constantly be reminded of the goodness of God!
