From the Superintendent

We are now taking pre-registrations for next year. Since we are starting a little bit later, we have extended the date for the $50 early registration discount until May 15. Tuition has not yet been set by the Board; however, I have recommended that it not increase more than $150, if that much. In addition, I have recommended that we institute a program similar to that found at other private schools where parents are required to donate a certain number of hours volunteering to assist in different areas...working the concessions stand or fair food booth, assisting with maintenance and lawn care, etc. A parent who chooses not to volunteer the hours could instead choose to pay an additional fee. Such a program will enable us to cut costs.

I am very excited about our enrollment for next year. We have had many new families come by to visit, and some have already registered their children. Also, please remember the referral bonus for recommending new students to Boyd Christian!

Please return School Pictures by Thursday, April 9.
Please return proofs even if you are not purchasing photos.

The sausage will be frozen, so please keep it frozen until you deliver it to those who purchased it. The teachers will keep all of their classes order forms together which will make it easier for you picking up your orders.

Newsletter

From the Superintendent

I want to thank all of you who so generously supported our Spring Benefit Dinner last Saturday night. I know that our economy is struggling at this time. Your continued support of Boyd Christian is especially appreciated. Thanks to Mrs. Suzanne Reed and our Interact Club for serving at the banquet. Our students represented our school so well. I have heard many kind words about our kids from people not associated with our school.

Mr. Stallings’ speech was videotaped by Ben Lomand. We are trying to obtain copies that we can sell to our community. Please let us know if you would like a copy. I am extremely grateful to Coach Stallings for appearing at our dinner. Coach Stallings had spent four hours that morning signing autographs in Jasper, Alabama, and then drove four hours to get to McMinnville. He is constantly in demand to speak at charitable functions. He genuinely has a heart for service.

Yesterday, our high school teachers visited International Baccalaureate classes at Cookeville High School. This was the next step as we study the feasibility of the program here at Boyd. Our teachers came away very impressed and encouraged by the possibilities. More and more universities are rewarding IB graduates. Cookeville currently has 156 students in the IB program, although most only take individual courses and do not pursue the entire diploma. In 2007, eight students graduated with the full IB diploma. The University of Tulsa (Oklahoma) offered all eight students a fully-paid four-year college education. None of the eight students accepted the scholarships from Tulsa because they all received ample scholarship money to the universities they wanted to attend.
