It was a great evening of celebrating the 9th grade class as they finish up their time in the logic school at Stonehaven and move on to the rhetoric school. We've come to adore these classmates over the last 11 years (Pre-K through 9th). We are thankful for each of them. It was so fun to see everyone come together to celebrate each of the students and challenge them to finish their time at Stonehaven strong. After a nice dinner, a teacher came up to introduce a student, give them a specific word chosen by the teachers characterizing the student, provide a Bible verse, and challenge them on how they can continue to grow. We loved hearing each one of these.
Mrs. Corley introduced Lily. We love Mrs. Corley! She's a great math teacher and an absolutely lovely lady. She introduced her, and said the teachers had chosen the word "respectfulness" for Lily. She noted how Lily is respectful, kind, friendly, and welcoming of others. She gave her Philippians 2:3 "Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves." She challenged Lily to continue to grow in her respectfulness of others who are not as easy to love. We look forward to seeing how Lily chooses to rise up to this challenge.
