Liberty Christian School started in 1980 in one room of a church. They now have a large, beautiful campus in Argyle that hosts 1200 students. Starting this fall an online program for 7th through 12th grades will take this local school worldwide.
Liberty Christian School has partnered with Point of View Ministries to extend a Liberty education to anyone, anywhere with a computer. This type of program has become very popular among college students and the trend is growing at the high school level.
Liberty Christian School will provide 7th – 12th grade online studies from a Christian Worldview curriculum. The tuition for the program is $6000. This is not a home school program. The students enrolled in Liberty’s online school will be taught by Liberty teachers. There are online groups and clubs. Through specialized conferencing software the online students will interact with each other and their teachers through video, instant messaging and chat groups. The students at home even see what the teacher writes on the white board.
Marcus High School Choir Annual Madrigal Dinner

In November, Reese & I went to the Marcus High School Choir Annual Madrigal Dinner.
We chose the dessert matinee instead of the dinner performance, because it was shorter & recommended for elementary/middle school aged children. Of course, the most important reason we went was to see Jessie perform!
After being entertained by a Jester, watching some girls get put into the stocks, & listening to a poem read, the dancers came out! Reese & I made our way across the room so we could see Jessie well.
I guess when you’re in high school, it’s not so cool to have a parent whip out the camera. So I signaled to Jessie “Just one more picture!” and snapped this….
But I couldn’t help myself snapping some pictures while she danced! She was partnered with her friend Caitlyn & they did a great job dancing to a Medieval song.
Unfortunately, the producers requested no photographs/video taping, so I didn’t get one single shot of the whole show! It was a very cute tale of Prince Charming (of the Charming Family), who was looking for the princess of his dreams. He encountered three very wrong princesses, and found out this his true love was the village poet girl who had been helping him woo the princesses.
We will definitely return next year! We were completely transported to a Medieval castle, entertained by great acting & even more amazing singing, & got to see Jessie doing her ‘thang & bringing tears to my eyes with her singing of Ave Maria.
