Therefore, since we are
surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that
hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance
the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus the author and perfecter
of our faith” Hebrews 12:1-2

Family
and Friends,
Recently,
while attending the Association of Christian School International Nexus
conference we were challenged to consider if the school we serve is meeting our mission statement. The speaker suggested we
should look at how our graduates of 15, 10, and even just 5 years are
doing. Are they the product you claim to be producing?
Jesse
Remington High School is a Christian Community of Students and Faculty pursuing
wisdom, knowledge, and understanding and is committed to raising this
generation to be effective leaders for Jesus Christ.
I
am thankful to be starting my 11th year of teaching at JRHS. Over the years it has been a joy to watch
students grow, mature, graduate, move onto higher education and vocations, and
many start families. They are involved in local churches, working hard, living
lives of integrity in a broken world. Vocationally they are working in a wide variety
of fields from forestry, nursing, to culinary arts, military service, veterinary science,
to engineering bringing the hope of Christ.
Why
am I willing to train and run 26.2 miles to help fundraise for the JRHS
scholarship fund? Simply, I believe the Lord is using JRHS to raise up a
generation of youth who will be effective leaders for Jesus Christ. Not only will they be leaders, but they are
critical thinkers, people who can consider the facts and make a
choice weighing the pros and cons. These
are the ones who will help pass the mantle of truth and Biblical faith to the
next generation!
Will
you help us reach our goal of raising $8,000 for our scholarship fund? All
funds will go directly to help support students who other wise could not attend
our school. This is an opportunity to
sow into the lives of desiring students.
If
you are able to support us financially you can do so online through our secure
giving resource: http://www.jrhs.org/support-jrhs/support-gifts/ and use the Scholarship Fund
option.
Blessings,
Susan Wilderman
Ps. This years Training Runs included: 500 miles of training in Three States (New Hampshire, Maine, and Michigan). The most exciting Run was through Grafton Notch State Park in the fine state of Maine. Thank-you to all who have encouragement to keep pushing for the goal!
