Tuesday. A good day to do a good deed.

Hello Church Friends, 

I am passing along information about my teacher team, grades 7-9, for items we could use throughout the school year.

Almost 99% of our students live in poverty and as a school (Lockland) we don’t have a lot of money for additional resources and supplies.

These items are supplies for the classroom as well as items that can be used for our PBISrewards. (positive-behavior intervention system). Throughout the school year we will be updating the last so feel free to check back in and support. 

Log in through your Amazon Smile account to benefit NCOM, as well. If using the amazon app on your phone, make sure smile is turned on to donate. Go to the menu bar (three horizontal lines) >Gifting, Registry & Charity>AmazonSmile> Mobile App Generating Donations ON

Amazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/MZJS0WWSUI1?ref_=wl_share

Feel free to share the Shannon Fischer wishlist on facebook and with others around you. If you are not sure what to get, an amazon gift card is also helpful. Thank you so much for the support. It is greatly appreciated and needed

#TBT: Alexander Kinmont, on Education

“There are two kinds of Education – the liberal and the servile. I define a liberal education to be that which puts us in possession of the principles and reasons of actions and things, so far as they are capable of being known or investigated; a servile education, on the contrary, is that which stops short at the technical rules and methods, without attempting to understand the reasons or principles on which they are grounded. A ready illustration of the difference may be taken from the Mathematics. To find the area of a circle you are required to squared the diameter, and multiply that square by the decimal fraction, .7854: this is the technical rule, and if it be followed, will give you a good practical approximation of the true area; but if you are ignorant of the reason or principle on which the rule is founded, and of those mathematical truths or facts which lead to it, however expert you may be in performing the operation, and so far may enjoy the fame of a practical mathematician, you are but servilely educated on this ground, and cannot claim the credit of liberal information.”
