The school year is Back in session. Starting a new school year can be a time of great excitement and anxiety
for both the youth attending and the parent. To make things a little calmer and smoother for both parties, there
are some things that you can do to help the situation:
 Parents meet with your child’s teacher face-to face and tour the school with your child, even if the child
attended the school the previous year; they will have new classrooms and areas of the building that they
may frequent. If your child is older, have him/her give you a tour, show that you are interested also.
 Have supplies ready and available so you feel prepared and comfortable and parents avoid the last minute
drilling session. Stay away from threatening your children about what they should be doing and simply say
some encouraging words.
Ease into the routine. Make it easier for everyone: set your alarm clock, leave the house on time, eat
breakfast
 And finally children, make good grades and do your best. Keep in mind Colossians 3:23, “Whatever you
do, work at it wholeheartedly as though you were doing it for the Lord and not merely for people.” NIS
There is an old saying that is so true. Anything worth having is worth working for. A good education is
worth having.
SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
Our Children/Our Schools
It feel that it is a sad day that The Lord's Prayer is not allowed in most U.S. Public schools any more. Below Is
a New School Prayer: Now I sit me down in school - Where praying is against the rule -For this great nation
under God - Finds mention of Him very odd - If scripture now the class recites -It violates the Bill of Rights And anytime my head I bow - Becomes a Federal matter now.
Our hair can be purple, orange or green - That's no offense; it's a freedom scene -The law is specific, the law is
precise - Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice -Or praying in a public hall- Might offend someone with no
faith at all - In silence alone we must meditate -God's name is prohibited by the State.
We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks, And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks...-They've outlawed
guns, but FIRST the Bible-To quote the Good Book makes me liable - We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,
And the 'unwed daddy,' our Senior King - It's 'inappropriate' to teach right from wrong,
We're taught that such 'judgments' do not belong..
We can get our condoms and birth controls, Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles... - But the Ten Commandments are not allowed, No word of God must reach this crowd - It's scary here I must confess, then chaos
reigns the school's a mess - So, Lord, this silent plea I make: Should I be shot; My soul please take! Amen.

CHRISITIAN HALLOWEEN
{Something To Make You Think}
We encourage you to carefully examine the History of Halloween.
Halloween, which comes from the phrase All Hallows Eve is tied directly
to All Saints Day celebrated on November 1 of each year to commemorate the old saints who have past on. These “saints” were heroes and
martyrs for the Christian Faith. Studies have shown that Historians trace
the origin of Halloween back to the ancient and enduring Christian
tradition of celebrating the lives of Christian martyrs on the anniversaries
of their deaths. When Pope Boniface IV re-consecrated the Pantheon in
Rome on May 13, 609 AD, renaming it the “Church of St. Mary and the
Martyrs,” he established that anniversary as a day of celebratory remembrance for all of the Church’s martyrs. Pope Gregory III later changed the
date of remembrance to November 1 when he dedicated a chapel in St.
Peter’s Basilica to “all saints.” November 1 became All Saints Day, otherwise known as All Hallow’s Day. The night before became All
Hallow’s Eve (“Halloween” being a colloquial contraction of that phrase).
While Halloween began as a localized celebration, Pope Gregory IV extended its observance to all of Christendom in the 9th Century AD.
