5th Graders Submit to Their Peers
A creative brainstorm with Mrs. Van Hooser and the 5th graders bore fruit. They decided to display their impressive friendship CHAIN of SUPPORT, which lists reasons why they are going to stay away from drugs, tobacco, and alcohol, as a way to kick off field day. 
What a great way to help remind them remember the DECISIONS they made during their "thinking out loud" sessions together, and that peer pressure CAN be positive TOO! They will have a great reminder how important it is to keep their bodies healthy so they can have safe and sober fun together as friends.

New President Announced
The Board of Directors of Goodpasture Christian School is pleased to update you on the progress we have made in the selection of a new president. In January, we signed a contract with Parker Executive Search, of Atlanta, GA, to conduct a nationwide search for the new president. Following Parker's thorough search of candidates interested and qualified for this position, the search was narrowed to 7 finalists from 7 major cities across the nation. The full Board of Directors interviewed the 7 finalists and came to a consensus. Effective June of 2008, our new president will be Mr. Ricky Perry of Chattanooga, TN. Ricky has served in Christian education for 23+ years. He has served as a teacher, coach, assistant principal, principal, and for the past 7 years, as Development Director of Boyd Buchanan School in Chattanooga.
Parents of Goodpasture students will be receiving a letter in the mail next week with additional information.
We continue to ask for your prayers and support as we transition into this exciting new beginning.
