From the Minister's Study
God has called parents to teach children
By Rev. Cathrine Campbell
Melville, Brussels
Knox, Belgrave
Presbyterian Churches
Moses tells the people in
Deuteronomy "Remember the day
you stood before the Lord your God
at Horeb when he said to me
"assemble the people before me to
hear my words so that they may
learn to revere me as long as they
live in the land and may teach them
to their children" (Deuteronomy
4:10).
And the Psalmist tells us "We will
not hide them from their children;
we will tell the next generation the
praiseworthy deeds of the LORD,
his power, and the wonders he has
done.
He decreed statutes for Jacob and
established the law in Israel, which
he commanded our forefathers to
teach their children, so the next

slightly lower than last year's, with
175 students currently enrolled.
Hullet welcomes new principal
Gladys Rock, along with three other
new staff members.
There were some adjustments
made to this year's school year,
specifically regarding professional
development days. The Ministry of
Education has mandated two
additional days raising the number
from four to six. As a result of
adding two more PD days, the Board
has cancelled all early dismissal
days.
Blyth. East Wawanosh, Grey and
Hullet along with 29 other
elementary schools in the Avon
Maitland board will be operating
under the balanced school day
schedule. This means the school day
will be divided into three, 100
minute learning segments with two
40 minute nutrition breaks.
Over the 2006-2007 year Avon
Maitland schools will be launching a
number of new citizenship
initiatives. This is aimed at
developing positive citizenship
qualities in the students. There are
10 attributes that the schools and
communities will focus on. They are
fairness, honesty, empathy, respect,
integrigy, courage, optimism,
compassion, perseverance and
responsibility.

generation would know them, even
the children yet to be born, and they
in turn would tell their children."(
Psalm 78:4-6 )
You have probably noticed a
pattern. We, as the people of God are
given great gifts, by God, and we are
to declare both the source and the
thanksgiving to all people. There is
never to be a time when God's
goodness and mercy are forgotten or
thanks not expressed for the
Salvation given by the life and death
of Jesus Christ.
And, therefore, we are called to
teach our children. The Church of
Christ responds with a form of
higher education - our Sunday
schools.
The Sunday school is the best and
longest lasting gift that a child will
receive in his or her lifetime; for it is
here that he or she is given the
grounding in understanding a moral
code, a call to be an active citizen
and to interact with different
generations in a non-threatening
environment.
I strongly encourage all parents
and grandparents to take their
children to the church of their choice
to enable them to get a good start in
life.
At the same time the children will
be attending school and it is the wish
of all of us that they do well, find
new friends and learning, and enjoy
what has been prepared for them. To
all parents and students I offer the
following:
10 Tips to Ensure a Good School
Year
10. Parents, remember your
school days - and either encourage
or discourage your child from
following in your footsteps.
9. Make sure there is a
comfortable and well-lit area to do
homework.
8. Expect your children to be
respectful to their teachers and do
not be disparaging about them in
their presence.
7. Expect your children's teachers
and school authorities to be
respectful to their students. Civility
is a two way street.
6. Ensure that every day starts with
a proper breakfast.
5. Listen when they come home -
not only to what they say but what
they don't say.
4. Don't sweat the small stuff -
hair or lack of it can be remedied -
remember the "must-haves" of your
youth.
3. They do need the books and
supplies - they probably don't need
the navel piercing.
2. A good education system is a
sign of a healthy society - keep it
well by being interested and
involved in our schools.
1. All children are precious in
God's sight and a gift to us and the
future. In return we must/give them
the best care and education
available.
The saying "It takes a village to
raise a child" is very true and all of
us, parents or not, have a
responsibility to ensure the best for
the children of this community.
Have a good year!
