Rocks and Pebbles in the Jar of Life: A Message from Mrs. Lane
As I pushed my cart through the Target parking lot, I was frustrated. I was in a hurry and the pebbles under the wheels of my cart caused my coffee to splash unhindered.

Should your child’s education be different from your education? A Message from Dr. Johnson
Believe it or not, as parents, we do many things in life because that is the way our parents did it. From child-rearing, to eating habits, to the sport teams we cheer for (Go Tigers!) and what kind of pets we like or dislike. This often is true in the K12 education we choose for […]

Pulling off the Carpet: A Message from Mrs. Marilyn
For the last month, we have been remodeling our home. Every room in the house had walls covered with wallpaper that had been there for many many years.
