Parents,
We are aware that parents create and participate in online classroom groups to help keep up with all the schedules and activities of their students. This is a positive use of online social communication. I would ask our parents that are participating in online groups to please consider contacting the teacher or administration to discuss specific school concerns instead of posting them on a classroom forum. It does become a concern when negative posts are being shared about issues that could be possibly solved by contacting the teacher and/or administrator. It is also possible that the information being shared may not be totally accurate or may be lacking context. As always, thank you for your support.

Warriors, take a moment to learn about our October Warrior Monthly Mission.... Hope Restored. Hope Restored Pregnancy Resource Center is a pro-life Christian organization that believes in and promotes the sanctity of life. Any woman who finds herself in an unplanned pregnancy is welcome to receive their confidential and free services. Their clients receive kindness and compassion in a non-judgmental Christ centered atmosphere. Each client is offered the truth of life and education on all pregnancy options. Along with free pregnancy testing and limited ultrasounds our center offers to walk along side our clients from the moment a pregnancy test is positive until baby is two years old. Through our educational parenting program (Earn While You Learn), many of our moms will have a full nursery at time of delivery. Their goal is to empower women with education, support, and truth to choose life for their baby and themselves and walk with confidence into parenting.
