It is always nice to settle into the rhythm of a new school year and see our students growing together as a community. This past week, I watched a group of students help a child with visual difficulties navigate the playground, making it possible for them to join in the fun. I chatted with a group of mixed girls from 3rd, 4th and 5th grades who were all playing a game of four square together; and at Grandparents Day, our community of students from Classic, Forest, and our Homeschool Program came together to worship! These moments remind us that bringing God’s Kingdom into our school happens in the little things we do each day—welcoming others, including someone new, and showing kindness.

We are so thankful to be part of this community that seeks to love like Jesus and bring His Kingdom into the world around us. What a gift it is to work together, encourage one another, and watch our students learn what it means to care for others. May we continue to find joy in the small moments and be thankful for the many ways God is working through our Pine Ridge community!

Grateful and thankful,

黛娜

学生生活与门徒训练实践

At Pine Ridge, we are excited to spotlight students who are living out our discipleship practices through our PR expectations of Respect, Responsibility, and Positive Relationship. Celebrating these moments helps us recognize the ways our students are reflecting Jesus in how they treat others and care for our community. These positive interactions also help build a strong foundation for the times when students need reminders or support in meeting our expectations. When expectations are not met, we see these moments as opportunities to reteach and practice what it looks and sounds like to treat others and our community with respect. Our goal is to encourage and celebrate the good we see while helping every student grow in how they live, learn, and love like Jesus.
