Change can be difficult for any of us, but can be especially challenging for those transitioning from elementary school to middle school. How we, as parents, help our children prepare for that coming change can play a drastic role in how it affects them. 

When you become a parent, you are faced with numerous choices. 

From the moment they are born, you have to choose what kind of crib to buy or build, what car seat will be safest and most comfortable, what method(s) you will use for bedtime routines. Choices will continue as you research local daycares and preschools. 

Eventually, you will be considering whether you want to send your child to public or private school. 

If you are thinking about public education, you will be investigating local institutions and whether a charter school may be the best option. If you are researching private schools, you will have to choose between Christian or irreligious. Even among Christian private education, there are options within the Asheville area. 

Emmanuel Lutheran School is a Christian private school committed to providing the highest quality education in a Christ-centered environment. One of the ways we accomplish our mission is by implementing the STEAM curriculum. 

Being a Christian can be difficult. Even more difficult is being a Christian parent. 

To help make things a little easier, this article will hopefully provide five helpful hints on how to help your child have a great start to the new school year in a way that is practical, educational, and honoring to God!

You won’t find better weather in North Carolina than what we have here in Asheville. We are far enough south to avoid the extreme winter weather you might expect in a high elevation area. Yet, being the highest city our size east of the Mississippi River does help provide a reprieve from the worst of the heat and humidity experienced by our neighbors in cities like Charlotte and Raleigh. Still, it does get hot. The mercury has climbed as high as 99-degrees in the city. 

Sometimes, you and your family need to find ways to beat the heat. In our area, there are several things you can do to cool off, often without having to retreat indoors.
