School Days, School Days... Dear old Golden Rule days
' Reading and 'riting and 'rithmetic
Taught to the tune of the hick'ry stick'
hick’ry stick? This is so not politically correct! and... I like it!
The Back Pack..is BACK!
Back to school begins traditionally the day after Labor Day here in Minnesota. Parents, students, and teachers transition from vacations, picnics, and the beach to a world of chalk dust, textbooks, report cards, and a possible trip to the principal's office.
BackPewLand (BPL) Area Schools offer a Christian WorldView where faith is evident everywhere you look. The Bible teaches... Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord Psalms 33:12, ... and so it goes without saying that blessed is the school whose God is the Lord.
We teach...
Meet you at the Pole
We all participate in the Meet You at the Pole Prayer time .. weather permitting then head inside to continue our above-mentioned attitude of prayer. Of course, in winter, we playfully refer to the bus stops as Meet You at the North Pole.
Our Education Philosophy blends the three Rs with one God. 1+1=2, the first President of the United States was George Washington, and the one true God is the God from our Bibles.
HOLIDAYS & FAITH
We won't wish you Happy Holidays.. but instead will wish you a Merry Christmas, and Easter Week we will declare Jesus is Risen... He is Risen indeed.
Open Communication between students and teachers is promoted. All student excuses no matter believable, or any flimsy (i.e. my dog ate my homework) tale told.. will be met with an open mind followed by a just and fair (but not naive) verdict.
Please note much is expected of our teachers, but they are respected and appreciated. Teachers are NOT the enemy.
- The Pledge of Allegiance is recited every morning. The phrase one nation under God is not a sign of Christian Nationalism, but instead just what it says one nation UNDER GOD!
- The Star Spangled Banner is sung before football games and everyone stands. Our No Kneeling Policy is enforced unless you are praying.
- There is Prayer in School. There are those silent but passionate prayers by the occasional unprepared students, and never any confusion about whom our prayers are directed. There is only one God who answers our prayers... There is only one God and he is the God of our Bibles.
