New Christian Relationships Class Begins

One of my efforts to engage with HLA Seniors comes through a 2-day class I teach called Christian Relationships. This course is all about the students -they are the subject and the textbook. The goal of the course is to provide a language that helps them understand who they are as well as to understand that other people may not think the same way that they do because we are all unique. I hope to share from time to time how the class goes.

Opening School Picnic Last Night

There was an excellent turnout for the school picnic last evening. The weather cooperated, and it really looked like students were happy to be back for a new year. After the picnic the students gathered on the football field for some activities led by the Student Council. Parents met in the chapel with the HLA faclty and staff, led by Principal jeff Isaac.

I enjoyed visiting with some former students when I taught Art and Bible at Hillcrest many years ago. They were dropping off their kids -- how quickly time flies! This hasn't been the first year- I might have to create a list...

By the way, if you (former students) might be worried, I have a standing rule - I simply don't tell your kids any stories about you when you attended Hillcrest, (unless I need it for leverage).
