This Thursday Spring begins! Educating children is like growing young plants. They both need basic nutrition, rich soil free of contaminants, clear air and sunshine. Like young plants, children are not yet ready to put into an environment that is hostile or unhealthy – they need protection at young ages.
The family, church and the school are the child’s best growing environment, just like the hot house is to young plants.
When the roots are deep enough, the trunk strong enough, and the foliage is plentiful, the plant can go into a new world and thrive. So, too, is the child who is grounded in God’s Word and teaching.
The Psalmist describes the blessed man: “He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.”

It's enrollment time for most Christian Schools and Upper Room is no exception. Our first open house has ended with about 30 applications being submitted. We have one more open house next week. And as in Spring "the early bird gets the worm"! If you are in the Suffolk County area we invite you call and stop in for a tour and interview with our Principal.
Upper Room Christian School is proud to begin another year's enrollment of students. we will be graduating 43 students this year and have openings for about 65 students total. As a father of four grown daughters I have seen the virtue in Christian Education. My daughters have ministered before thousands and say that their children are going to go to Christian School.
Deut 11:19
And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
Grace and Peace,
Ed
