Home is Where the Farm Is Two Cornerstone families have traded city living for life on the farm! Join us as we pay a virtual visit to their farms and explore how University Model® Schooling gives them the flexibility they need as they teach their children the value of hard work, a love for the outdoors, and just how important family really is.

Way to run, Cougars! Thank you, Cornerstone families! A great big thank you to all who are saving your pop tabs and dropping them off at Cornerstone! We were able to donate two great big bags of pop tabs to the Ronald McDonald House (RMH) this week! When RMH receives a large amount of Pop Tabs, they take them to a recycling center. The money raised supports the operations at two Atlanta Ronald McDonald Houses, the Ronald McDonald Care Mobile, and Ronald McDonald Family Room. Please, keep popping and saving tabs from energy drinks, soup cans, or anything with a metallic tab and helping families with a very sick child to have a place to stay close to the hospital, allowing them to focus on the medical care of their child. Collect at home in a container or a baggy, then bring it to our collection container at school located in the Den. It's such an easy way to "help families stay close". Thank you! Thank you, we recently received a second loyalty check from Kroger bringing this school year's cash received to $85.77. Do you shop with Amazon? As you begin Christmas shopping, please consider designating Cornerstone Prep as your charitable donation and shop using AmazonSmile. AmazonSmile donates 0.5% of the price of eligible purchases to your designated charitable donation. We've already received over $100 from the Amazon Smile program this year!
