A man was standing on the shore and there were all these sea stars that had washed up on the shore and he was throwing them as hard as he could back into the ocean. And somebody came up and said, “what are you doing? You're never going to save them all”. He said, “yeah. But to that one that I just threw, it made all the difference”.
When kids start feeling unseen, unheard, it takes away their humanity. What can we do to restore that to them and help them to realize they're made in the image of God and therefore they are deserving of respect and a good future? Because that’s what God wants for them, He wants good for them.
My passion in life is helping kids flourish. In education, my goal is to help kids get connected with the right people, the right resources, the right education, the right tools, so that they can just fly.
Kids need to be taught to do more teamwork because that's what the real world is all about is figuring out how to work with others. A lot of stuff is done individually, but even still building those skillsets of being able to try the hard stuff and work through it and actually be successful. That's pretty huge. That's our best desire.
History teacher Claire Morgan is providing a workshop for churches who want to host a 4th of July Camp that teaches our nation's founding principles to students, especially in Kindergarten through eighth grade.
Learning about our founding principles is so important to prepare our students to be godly citizens. Your church can get training to conduct the July 4th Camp by registering your youth ministry representative.
