Notes from the North Campus – 10.9.20

WOW first quarter of The Academy of Classical Christian Studies is almost done!! It has gone well even in the midst of our God-given challenges with COVID, strep, allergies, etc. Thanks to all our families (attending on campus or TAO) for your partnership, patience, and diligence to allow our students to have a solid educational experience this fall. I hope everyone can enjoy some calm, unhurried wonder time the second half of next week during fall break. Appreciate each one of you very much!
