Ephesians 5:15-16 reminds us to “Be very careful, then, how you live - not he Evening’s Program as unwise but as wise, redeeming the time . .” As parents, we have so T little time to influence and prepare our children for adulthood. It seems we are just bringing our little ones home from the hospital then with a blink of the eye they are marching across the graduation stage. It has been said, that as parents the days seem long, but the years are very short. Very true. Check-in Understanding this limited season of influence, Heritage families wish Silent Auction bidding starts to redeem the time “now”. Families are drawn to Heritage because 7:00 pm “Gotta Have It” section opens we value and steward time with our children through our approach to education. One practical and unique Heritage distinctive is that the Hors d’oeuvres buffet school allows parents to redeem the time now by scheduling shorter class periods on fewer days for our youngest students. This allows more time at home during the very short, but very precious, early childhood season. For many attending this evening, you may not be familiar with Heritage. Heritage is a loving school community of teachers and like-minded First Closing parents who are building the next generation of servant-leaders by 8:20 pm emphasizing excellence with regard to academic achievement, Christ-like faith, and character development. The school was founded in 1998 to provide a classical, Christ-centered school in Atlanta. Heritage students consistently score in the top Second Closing percentiles on standardized tests. Classes are intentionally small to 8:40 pm ensure that each student receives the individual attention he or she deserves. The curriculum content is “classical” in that it emphasizes timeless works of literature, music, art, history, Latin, science and Third Closing mathematics. And it incorporates the methodology of the educator Charlotte Mason by focusing on good habits, nature studies, and joyful 8:50 pm Desserts and Hot Chocolate Bar open discovery in learning. In a time of increasing modernity and the softening of standards and values, please pause to consider the importance of a school like Heritage. To ensure that our mission is fulfilled for the future, remember Final Closing that all the items auctioned tonight immediately benefit the needs and 9:00 pm operations of the school. This year our acquisition team has focused heavily on items where people are already spending money - trying to add value and “time” to Raffle and Live Auction their lives.
