Overview of the school year

By: Anna Congleton
Wow! Can’t believe the school year is over already!! Abby made it through her first year of high school, Anna made it through 7th grade, Audrey made it through 5th grade, and Jack finished 2nd grade. This year we tried out a new co-op called LTC we all really enjoyed it! We also did TOG which was a lot of work for everyone, but served us well. We will not be doing TOG again next year but we will be doing LTC. Jack, we have really seen you grow in reading, writing and math skills this year!

For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both present, and the life to come.

Hershey Park

By: Audrey Congleton
This whole month is a homeschool month at Hershey Park this year, so we decided to go with the Butlers. We were planning on going last Thursday the 17th, but the Butlers couldn’t get tickets for that day, so we decided to go on the 24th. A few of us were bummed at first but I think it will all work out well. Jack, is ALMOST a Twizzler, he just needs 1 more inch on him. But if he is not a Twizzler, than he’s not going to be able to go on very many of the roller coasters, so we told him to wear his tall sneakers and hopefully he will be a Twizzler. Audrey, Anna, Abby, Dad and Mom are all going to be Jolly Ranchers. We can’t wait till we go.


Be strong and brave. Do not be terrified. Do not lose hope. I am the Lord your God. I will be with you everywhere you go.
Joshua 1:9

Creation Festival

By Audrey Congleton
Lately there has been much confusion going around about Creation Festival. Is Mrs. Althoff going? How are we getting there? Are we getting a group site? Who’s going? As of right now (things may change) Mrs. Althoff is MOST likely able to come. Well, if Mrs. Althoff comes, then getting there isn’t an issue. No we are not getting a group site, however we are still all going together. Sarah and Nathan Wright, Isaac, Isabella and Iris Martin, Stephanie Leouternou, Katey Althoff and Mrs. Althoff, Rachel, Jeremy and Mr. Willman, and our whole family are all the people that are going as of right now. Many of us were shocked that Skillet is not going. They usually end out the whole thing but, now that they are not coming Switchfoot is. We are all VERY excited about this year’s Creation Festival. We should all be praying for everyone that is going on this trip, and for everyone just to be touched and met by God.  

Missions Trip

By: Anna Congleton
This summer Anna and John have the opportunity to go on a short term missions trip to Honduras. They are super excited to see how God works through them in Honduras. They will be staying at Orphanage Emmanuel for 10 days then going to our friends the Zell's house for 2 days. They just got their passports, they have sent out support letters, they have been praying, and have been getting to know the team better at the meetings. If you could be praying for them as they are raising money and preparing for this trip that would be awesome!

Thank you!
