Since the beginning of January, Tirzah started attending school at Verde Valley Christian School. It's a branch of Verde Baptist Church and located here in Cottonwood. Most of you know that up until this point she has done the video school through Pensacola Christian Academy. I just want to share with you as to why we made the switch. First of all, we discovered the school has a great tax credit program, making the cost for tuition very affordable. Second, last semester we noticed Tirzah getting stressed out doing school with all the siblings around. Yes, she had her own schoolroom but it was difficult to keep all kids out of that side of the house for six/seven hours. Several times I actually caught her crying because she wanted the experience of real school and real students (not virtual). And third, when I went to check out the school, I interviewed with the principal and met several of the teachers. God gave me peace--a peace I can't explain. When Tim went to the school, he felt the same peace.
Tirzah is doing great at school. Her teacher loves her and is the spiritual mother of the school. I can't say enough wonderful words about her. Tonight, Tirzah acted out a part for Mrs. Potts, the teapot woman on Beauty and the Beast. She did a great job!
We had so much fun attending the spaghetti social and pie auction tonight at the school. I made a sweetheart cookie pie and it sold for $200!
Hardy in this picture tried bidding on a pie. He really wants to go to the school too but can't because the second grade class is full. Hardy understands that; he was so cute tonight and really made an effort to make friends with some of the other boys his age.
Our whole family had a great time tonight! I'm excited about the new friends we have made and looking forward to a great year!
We are so happy for Tirzah to be able to attend Christian school and be with children her own age. I'm sure she is going to be a very welcome addition to her class. She is a smart little cookie and is so very good and kind with others.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of cookies, congratulations on your sweetheart cookie pie going for $200....that is very impressive. :)
Thank you Helen! Tirzah also says, "Thanks!" She is doing awesome in school. She loves school so much and even on Saturdays wishes she could be at school! :)
