Yes, we are truly blessed to have teachers who love our kids well. Lori Jill IS an irreplaceable treasure. A kind yet firm leader, led by God, just as Mr. Smith said. Mrs. Baldwin – you are a treasure as well. Thank you to our exceptional staff and teachers!!

Thank you for your articulate praise of Lori Jill, Mr. Smith. I am so grateful that you clearly appreciate the treasure she is to Westminster and to all of us. Thank you so much for taking the time to express your observations, thoughts, and feelings. Too often we value, but we don’t speak–and you took the time and effort to “speak.” Lori Jill is worthy of praise from a human perspective, and I am confident she is regularly and wonderfully reflecting God’s glory back to Himself.

This is the first year st WM for our granddaughter. We participated in grandparents day and we were so impressed with even the younger children’s accomplishments And we are so pleased with our granddaughter’s development this year
I was esrly to pick up our granddaughter yesterday and Dean Wortman had one of his classes outside. A class of 11 I might add I sttempted to listen as he discussed Socrates and Plato. Teaching the children anout differing opinions and how they had not reached that point of handling that yet. But the one thing common to their development of learning this would be the influence of Christ that they would apply Blessed me and made me so Pgrateful to know our granddaughter sits in the classrooms with this kind of instruction daily. Thank you for making it possible

Thank you for capturing the essence of what is happening in our young men and women. The horse is made ready for battle, but the Lord gives the victory. How will we ever trust Him fully if we are not faced with tasks larger than our own abilities can afford?

Well done, Westminster Knights, well done.

The best conversations seem to happen most around tables. Strong tables.

Comment on Lessons From a Teenager by Charlie Ritch

This reminds me of one of my favorite Lewis quotes from Screwtape Letters: “The man who truly and disinterestedly enjoys any one thing in the world, for its own sake, and without caring two cents what other people say about it, is by that very fact fore-armed against some of [Satan's] most subtlest modes of attack.” (Letter XIII)

In a very real sense, our primary task as parents and educators is to initiate our students into the reality of true delight.
