We gather together as a community to begin our day with group prayer, the pledge to American flag, Scripture Memory, and Musical Enrichment through singing hymns and the Doxology, reviewing Timeline together, introducing Latin, Math, English Memory Work, celebrating birthdays. We value this time together to build community and focus our day on the Creator God.
