A blog that is not maintained is not read. And it has been a long time since we posted, so here goes!
This has been a very busy couple of months. This week was Missions Conference. Dr. Hantz Bernard of Bibles International was outstanding! One had to listen carefully ( to understand his French accent) and think deeply (to follow his message)--but both were well worth it! He was so encouraging, and challenging. But we are tired.
This week-end we are working on grades--report cards are due on Monday. After three quarters, I can sincerely say that there MUST be a better record-keeping program than Headmaster. It is not a help, but a burden.
Today, the Women's Basketball team from George Fox University won the Division III national championship. They have been undefeated all season (32 games). They have one Senior, 2 or 3 Juniors and the rest of the team are Freshmen. It was supposed to be a rebuilding year. Wow!
Nate & Lissa have been avid fans, as both work for George Fox and the campus is only a couple of blocks from their house.
Two students from our school entered a speech contest run by Right to Life--and they both placed in the top 3, and won money. Good Job!!
Yesterday was Junior High Fine Arts competition--I do not know how well they did, but from what I saw, there should be some who placed.
Jenny & Michael are building raised beds for their garden today. The weather is cooperating, though there was snow this morning. Good for peas.

Eric and I listened to the game on our laptop in the garden while we were working on a raised bed.
It was an amazing and exciting game.
Hope you get some rest from all the busyness.

Our Right to Life affiliate also hosted an Oratory Contest. The state contest will be at the same location in Holt. Will any of your winners be attending? It would be nice to take the opportunity to catch up with you. Most of our contestants are homeschooled and are tough competition.
