Cross Country State Qualifiers NEW Congratulations to Adam Whitney and Brennan Pritchard for qualifying for the 2019 XC State Championship Meet! Please cheer them on this Sat, Oct 26 as they race the Georgia Premier XC Course in Macon. NEW Thank you for stopping by the welcome desk for a visitor tag each time you enter the education building. As you exit the building, please stop by the desk to turn your visitor tag back in and sign out before leaving. This will help us keep track of our visitors on campus in the event that we have any type of emergency situation. NEW Any items not picked up by 2 p.m. will be donated. If you have lost a valuable item (jewelry, calculator, etc), please check with the front desk. NEW A couple of years ago at the State of School, we showed the film "Screenagers" which explores struggles over social media, video games, academics, and internet addiction. Dr. Delaney Ruston has made a new film, "Screenagers: NEXT CHAPTER: Uncovering Skills for Stress Resilience" focusing on helping youth thrive in our screen and stress-filled world by taking a look at mental well-being (stress, anxiety, and depression). We invite parents to join us for a free screening of this new film.
Students will enjoy hearing from Christian author Jenny Cote on Thu, Oct 24.
NEW Elementary students will have a Dress As You Like (DAYL) on Thu, Oct 31. Please note the following for DAYL:
Please see the Parent-Student Handbook guidelines, page 8, if you require further instructions. NEW Cornerstone Cares Day is a wonderful day to serve others alongside your children. However, parent participation is optional. SPECIAL NOTE:
Your student's teacher should have already communicated with you regarding upcoming parent-teacher conferences taking place the last couple weeks of October. Please contact your teacher directly if you would like a conference and have not yet reserved time. After prayerful consideration, Cornerstone Cares donations have been earmarked for Feed My Lambs ministry. We have chosen this ministry because they have been a ministry partner since the inception of Cornerstone Cares. Feed My Lambs Mission Statement: The heart of Feed My Lambs is to impact children living in poverty with the love of Jesus through Christian preschools. Our schools offer an invaluable early education to our families at no charge. We are funded solely by our amazing donors, partners, advocates, and other supporters.
Pray for our students and chaperones as they spend an educational and exciting week in Washington, D.C. You may have noticed the parent-teacher conferences post for elementary students and wondered about secondary. For our secondary students, we do not schedule official parent-teacher conferences. If you would like to meet with any of your student's teachers, we encourage you to contact the teachers directly via email to schedule a time to meet and discuss your student's progress.
