Favorite Bible Text

For the Lord Himself will come down from heaven with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.  And so we will be with the Lord forever.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

Quote of the day . . .

Upon the subject of education, not presuming to dictate any plan or system respecting it, I can only say that I view it as the most important subject which we as a people can be engaged in.

Greetings,

My name is Larry Rich and I will be serving Sligo Adventist School as the principal for the 10-11 school year. I know that over the course of time we will get to know each other better, but for now I want to take this opportunity to say how excited I am that you are inquiring or enrolling your son or daughter at SAS.

I would like to share some insights into my philosophy of education. First, I believe that education is a means to an end. The greatest fulfillment in life is to develop a sense of spiritual need for Jesus Christ and a longing to serve Him and others. I want our entire educational emphasis to focus on the ultimate goal, that of heaven. To this aim we will create a school environment where students learn to grow by serving each other. This will lead to enhancing personal self-worth.

Second, much of the success in life has to do with the habits we form in school. Through the educational experience students should learn about accountability, responsibility and dependability. I believe school should be a place that allows our child[ren] to experience the “bumps of life” in a controlled nurturing environment where the consequences are miniscule compared to the adult world.

Lastly, the educational environment should cultivate an atmosphere of encouragement, mutual repsect, honesty and truthfulness between teacher, student and parent. By so doing, students receive the foundation and preparation for what lies ahead.
