 Peggy believes that every child is a special gift from God. She encourages her students to always do their best with the talents and abilities God has blessed them with. Learning is a team effort between the family unit and the classroom.

Our school theme for 2011-2012 is "All for ONE, One for All" based on Romans 12:4-5.  God unites us together as one body of believers in Christ.  We all have different talents and abilites, just as our body has different parts.  Each one of us strives to do our part in serving Him and one another.  May God bless our school year together.
