Scholarship Run - Will you Partner with us?

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!
