- In Bible, we'll continue to practice our monthly memory work, Psalm 23, and our learning of the stories in Genesis.

- Holland Christian Schools will be facilitating an event called Parent University: a conversation around Jonathan Haidt's Book: The Anxious Generation
Aim: How, collectively, parents can make choices to counter the smartphone culture and guard their hearts.
Focus: We will discuss the harmful effects technology has on our children. We will dive into data that demonstrates the psychological damage that can occur to a child immersed in a phone-based childhood. Join us in these conversations and walk away with a clear call-to-action that will make a difference not only in your child's life but their time here at Holland Christian Schools.
