After being a parent at MGCS for 4 years, I joined the MGCS staff.  Since then, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing what happens after all the other parents leave.  I’m able to “see behind the curtain” a bit and watch our teachers in action.  I wish all MGCS parents could know what I see every day, so I asked the teachers what they want MGCS parents to know.  Here are the top 10 responses:

1.   What an honor it is that parents trust us with their precious children.  We do not take that honor lightly.

2.   How excited we are when a goal is met or a difficult skill is mastered.  Their child’s success matters deeply to us.

3.   That we pray for their child regularly

4.   That when we correct their child, it isn’t because we dislike them or don’t care about them, it is because we DO care about them so much.  We love their child and we want the very best for them

5.   How doing homework enhances their child’s understanding of the subject

6.   How much their notes and e-mails of encouragement mean to us and how thankful we are for MGCS parents and their support and prayers

7.   How important it is to read weekly newsletters

8.   That breakfast and good nutrition really do make a difference in classroom performance

9.   That some of their child’s our greatest learning experiences will come from failed attempts and that is okay…learning involves risk

10.  How helpful it is when parents put names in sweatshirts, t-shirts, sweaters, jackets and lunchboxes

Our teachers and staff love your children and are honored to partner with you as we work together to help them grow into the young men and women God intends them to be.
