First, I realized that in our first meeting we had students from Pre-K to High School. This kind of age span make it hard to find direction and meet the needs of all learners. As a result I will focus on our early learners (Pre-K to Grade 2).
If another parent would like to spear head a different age group such as 3rd-5th Graders, 6th-8th Graders or High School please let me know.
Second, we came up with some upcoming events and I developed a more clear vision for our club.
Our vision is to train students to be critical thinkers, and "not mere reflectors of other men's thoughts” (EG White). We aspire to follow the Proverbs 22:6 command and train our own children to honor the Lord Jesus Christ and advance His kingdom.
