Welcome to the first week of school! We are excited to embark on this educational journey together, as we believe in the profound importance of education in shaping the lives of our children. As we begin this new chapter, let us reflect on the purpose of education, drawing inspiration from Ellen White’s book, “Education.”
Education is not merely about acquiring knowledge or preparing for a future career. It encompasses a holistic approach that nurtures the physical, mental, and spiritual development of our children. Through education, we strive to instill in them a love for learning, critical thinking skills, and a sense of moral responsibility.
Ellen White emphasizes that true education extends beyond the classroom walls. It involves cultivating character, developing virtues such as honesty, compassion, and integrity. Education equips our children with the tools they need to navigate life’s challenges and make positive contributions to society.
As parents, your involvement and support are invaluable. Together, let us create a partnership that nurtures the love for learning in our children. Encourage them to ask questions, explore new ideas, and embrace challenges. Let us foster an atmosphere where mistakes are seen as opportunities for growth and resilience is cultivated.
In this first week of school, let us set the foundation for a year filled with growth, discovery, and achievement. We are grateful for your trust in us as we set sail on this educational journey together.
Warm regards,
John McCombs
“Let the youth be impressed with the thought that education is not to teach them how to escape life’s disagreeable tasks and heavy burdens; that its purpose is to lighten the work by teaching better methods and higher aims. Teach them that life’s true aim is not to secure the greatest possible gain for themselves, but to honor their Maker in doing their part of the world’s work, and lending a helpful hand to those weaker or more ignorant.”
