We are anticipating that the Lord is going to do some awesome things in the lives of our students over the next 8 weeks through classes, chapel services, etc. Please encourage your child to keep working hard and doing their best as we look towards finishing out Semester 1.

LAST WEEK IN CHAPEL 

Pastor JC Worley from GO Church spoke to our students from the story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, specifically regarding what it looks like to stand against culture when it is wrong (Robinson House motto). His encouragement was for our students to Stand Out, Speak Loud and Walk Free!


octoBER MEMORY VERSE: Colossians 1:15-16 (ESV)

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities - all things were created through him and for him.


LIONS OF THE WEEK

Congratulations to the following students that were nominated by their teachers for making good choices or setting a good example recently.

  • 6th Grade = Anna Marie Flournoy

  • 7th Grade = Abby McBurnett

  • 8th Grade = Davis Peavy


HABITUDES MOMENT

Ask your child about this month’s image that is being focused on in our Habitudes leadership/character development classes.

  • 6th - The Starving Baker - This is a common hazard for leaders. We’re like the baker who spends so much time baking bread for others, we forget to eat ourselves. Leaders must feed themselves for personal growth.

  • 7th and 8th - The Talking Stick - The Talking Stick reminds us that before we lead we must listen. Leaders seek to understand the perspective of others before they communicate their own point. They show empathy and ask good questions. As a result, they earn the right to be heard.
