Greetings! Enjoy our Saints News!
HEAD OF SCHOOL MUSINGS
This week – Spiritual Emphasis Week – we gave extra time and attention to the ‘spirit’ part of our mission – mind, body, and spirit . For his work as Chapel Coordinator, I’m grateful to Mr. Jager for all of his work preparing and implementing this week’s activities. 

Many of us started out with a John Piper devotional with Monday’s Connect time. On Wednesday, students were able to choose an opportunity from one of five options: Holy Yoga, Guided Prayer, Journaling/Drawing, Silent Reading, and Video Testimony. As you might imagine, Holy Yoga and Journaling/Drawing were quite popular. 

Today, we gathered in Grace Auditorium to hear from Molly Fiore through a talk-show style with Mr. Jager. She shared some of her story including mental health challenges and hearing God’s “still small voice” in the midst of her suffering. Mr. Jager shared from this week’s Scripture theme in Psalm 34:17-19 and Molly shared one of her favorite Scripture passages in Psalm 119:105 . 

Spiritual Emphasis Week concludes during Friday’s faculty meeting as teachers and staff use part of that time to pray for our students and school.
SEE YOU TONIGHT!

COUNSELOR'S CORNER
If you would like to learn more about the college admission process - The Truth About College Admissions: A Family Guide to Getting In and Staying Together, is a great read with helpful and realistic insights. The book was written by Rick Clark (Director of Undergraduate Admissions at Georgia Institute of Technology and Brennan Barnard (Admissions Program Manager at Making Caring Common at Harvard Graduate School of Education) as a resource for families who, Barnard said, wish to approach the admissions experience in a thoughtful and balanced way guided by unity and purpose, not games and status. I look forward to having a few book discussions starting at the end of February (dates TBD).
