At Prairie Christian Academy, the first day of classes is tomorrow, August 30. In the secondary school, we have moved from the "Prairie High School building" to Prairie Bible Institute's Founders Hall second floor for high school classes & offices and the "old Oasis" for junior high classes. The final hookups are still happening as I type this morning and while it won't be all "done" by tomorrow at 8:30 am, its pretty amazing that the school got moved over in less than two weeks. A great big thanks to all the PBI friends who helped, all the Golden Hills School Division staff who have worked to make this happen, and of course our PCA staff.
This year, the back to school enthusiasm is multiplied because I will again be teaching some classes for Prairie Bible College/Prairie College of Applied Arts & Technology (PBC/PCAAT). I am excited to again be teaching at the post-secondary level, though having classes on Labour Day Monday is a bit of a disappointment because that time is usually devoted to watching the Canadian Football League Labour Day Classic football game(s), especially the Edmonton Eskimos (boo!) at Calgary Stampeders (yeah!). Apparently, college classes need to be scheduled on this day in order to get the required number of classes in for the first term. Oh well...
I enjoy this time of year because of the:
- excitement of having young people around... after a quiet summer in Three Hills!
- opportunity for a new start... and re-focus on some goals/projects.
- order/routine that a school schedule brings to most aspects of life - work & home, daily & weekly.
- hockey season is just around the corner... though maybe not NHL hockey this year!
