We have decided that it is time for our children to start school next year! The kids will attend Crossville Christian School two days a week, we plan to supplement the other days with a home education system that is similar to the classical christian education. Knowing that Crossville Christian School is where they will attend, we began to get involved with the school this year. Our first commitment with the school was the first annual fundraiser as a Serv A Thon. Anthony and I love the concept of serving the community as a fundraiser. This was an excellent teaching opportunity in itself. We sent out support letters and had Johnathan and Joseph sign or trace their name on each one. Then we discussed what it mean to sever others, and volunteer in the community. The event that was chosen to volunteer was a trail race!!!! It was a perfect fit for our family!! Uncle Kent and Uncle Ross were still in town from Auburn and went with us to the event. Our family signed up for the early shift! We arrived at the race at 7:30 AM. The Cumberland State Park, park ranger Mark sent us in the "red" trail head to the split where we would meet park ranger J.R. Our family cheered and encouraged all the runners. We picked up trash, and then hiked back out to where our fellow students were toward the finish line. We enjoyed a family picnic at the park to celebrate a successful Serv A Thon!
