Week 11 10/22-10/26

We are in full swing and have had a great start to our second quarter. Thank you to all who attended conferences. It was truly a purposeful time building relationships with each of you and collaborating together to support the learning and growth of each of your scholars.

Every quarter brings new content and new understanding. We continue to press forward on our journey of learning. Excitement is in the air for what lies ahead.  I look forward to the coming months as I get the privilege to watch closely and lead the ship into new territories. Thank you for entrusting me with your precious gold.  I will certainly do my best to steward their journey. 

Please take a look at the week's curriculum and events that are scheduled.
