LETTER PRESIDENT
from the
This fall begins our 70th year at CH&BS. There is something special to me about this year. Maybe it is because I will be turning seventy myself. Much of my life has been spent here in one way or another. I met my wife, Shirley, here in the early 60’s while traveling with the Alabama Christian College chorus. She grew up in the Children’s Home program, and she, and both of our children, graduated from here. On top of that, this begins my twenty-fifth year as the President of CH&BS.
Reflecting back to 1945 and our humble beginnings, I think of names like Norton, Starling, and Waters; families who had the wisdom and foresight to lay the groundwork that would grow and prosper more than they could have ever imagined. Presidents Orvel Boyd and Cletus Stutzman provided outstanding leadership at CH&BS from the early 50’s until my tenure began in 1990. These visionaries poured the foundation on which we presently rest. It is an exciting time at CH&BS. Our Social Services program has adapted to the ever-changing needs of society. The Single Parent program for mothers and their children is supplementing the work in residential group homes. It’s the fastestgrowing segment of our ministry with nearly twenty women and children enrolled. A newly renovated Lugar Cottage recently reopened, and the Thompson House just welcomed another girl into the family. Caring for children and families will always be at the core of our mission. The school is in the midst of changes that will shape our future for the next seventy years. Not one building remains from those early days. Replacing them are modern facilities that rival any in the country. The new state-of-the-art Jerome B.
Thompson Science Center and Samuels Student Center will become the centerpiece of our beautiful campus when it opens next January. With an emphasis on STEM programs (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), we will prepare our graduates for the 21st Century workplace. Our athletic program will be competitive for years to come when a new turf football field and modern 8-lane track are finished for the 2015 school year. I want to thank all of you who have stood with us over the past seventy years. CH&BS exists through your gifts and prayers. Please make plans to visit us sometime over the next several months as we celebrate our heritage and embrace the coming years. God has a plan, and it is constantly unfolding. He, through our predecessors and supporters, built a strong foundation; but a stronger future lies ahead.
Dr. James Moore
Football Program Winning More than Just Games and Titles Any day of the week, any time of the year, one can find the MDB football team and coaches preparing for the next game, the next season, the next challenge. But it is not just about the “Friday Night Lights” and the scoreboard at the end of the game. For this team and these coaches it’s about tackling the challenges of life by learning to walk with God every day. Coach Dennis Cardoso has designed his program to reach out to each of his players, strengthening not only their body but more importantly their relationship with God. Our MDB football coaches look for opportunities to bond with their players on and off the field, opening up the gospel and reaching young men through the sport they love. Over the past seasons, the team has attended a men’s retreat together at Port Orange Church of Christ, led by Lance Morgan. Lance also periodically meets with
the players one on one to spiritually guide and mentor them. Several players this year have been so inspired by Coach Cardoso and Coach Kolby Tackett; that they made a decision to give their lives to Christ with their coaches at their side. Jeremiah Pierre was baptized by Coach Cardoso at SonQuest with Coach Tackett in the water by his side. Jacob Alleyne made the decision to be baptized during last summer’s North Carolina Mission Trip. Once again, he asked the coaches to be the ones to baptize him. Most recently, on October 8th, Jordan McPherson, who has been meeting with Coach Cardoso at 7 am on Mondays for Bible studies, was baptized at Orange Avenue Church of Christ by Coach Cardoso. MDB is proud of our football players and program and the impact they are having on our young men’s lives. Imagine Magazine Fall 2014 | 3
The Joy of Giving
DEVELOPMENT
Tim Deem - Vice President of Development The Bible doesn’t tell us much about the early years of Jesus. His father, Joseph, was a carpenter. We can assume that as the oldest son, He probably followed in His father’s footsteps. Learning the concepts of building would prove to be helpful later in His life. As His ministry grew, a firm foundation was laid for the future of the church.
Building for the future is at the heart of the fundraising efforts at CH&BS. We engage in fundraising because the mission of educating and caring for young hearts and minds is a life-changing business that impacts the souls of our students and families. It is our intent to help develop every child so that his or her life will model Christ in every way. The financial foundation consists of four specific building blocks that ensure our ongoing success. Tuition and Fees: Tuition and fees cover a large majority of the costs to operate the school, but not all. We seek to provide an excellent learning environment and competitive salaries for our faculty and staff. Every year, decisions are made about raising tuition to meet ongoing operational expenses, attract talented staff, and provide innovative programs for our students.
Annual Fund: The Annual Fund helps bridge the gap between tuition and fees and the total cost to provide an education to our students and care for the children living in the Home. These gifts help hold tuition costs down, provide financial aid for families in need, promote new educational technologies, and provide opportunities for special programs such as the Single Parent program. Capital Campaigns: These funds are raised separate and apart from the Annual Fund. They are solicited over a specific period of time and are designed for a specific project or group of projects to support our future success, i.e. new buildings and renovations, scholarship funds, and endowments to support the total cost of education and care. Planned Giving: Planned Giving involves strategies that may be advantageous to both the donor and CH&BS. They are often in the form of bequests, annuities, trusts, shares of stock, or real or personal property. The donor may realize tax savings, increased income, or other personal financial needs while CH&BS receives a significant immediate or deferred gift. The development office is happy to work alongside you and your legal and financial advisors as you decide how to support the work at CH &BS. Please feel free to contact us at any time to discuss the various methods available for you to help build a solid foundation for the future of these children.
Serve One Another, Humbly in Love - Galatians 5:13
L
ast summer, nine students in the Mount Dora Children’s Home were given the opportunity to live what they have learned. Athena Wagner, Destany Woodard, Janecia Pierre, Jasper Pierre, Jeremiah Pierre, Johanna Vilarson, Josiah Pierre, Jordan McPherson, and Sebastian Wagner joined a group of over fifty from the Orange Avenue Church of Christ for a mission trip to Hayesville, North Carolina. The mission group conducted Vacation Bible School July 24th - August 2nd spreading the word of God to the children of Hayesville Church of Christ. In addition, the group worked on service projects in the area such as painting houses, working in a local food pantry, working in a shelter for battered and abused women, delivering snacks to the local hospital, taking stuffed animals to pediatric patients, and visiting the nursing home in Hayesville. This was a wonderful experience and opportunity for the children in the Mount Dora Children’s Home to serve others while having their own faith strengthened. 4 | Imagine Magazine Fall 2014
Central Florida Bible Camp
O
ne of our goals for the children is to be strengthened in their faith and meet other young Christians in the area while living in the children’s home. Last summer our residents got to do just that at the Central Florida Bible Camp. Daily Bible class, nightly worship services, Bible skits, cabin devotionals, and other activities were experienced by all of the participants. Fun activities are also a big part of the camp experience, including: paintball, zip lining, human foosball, tide slide, and other group activities. Several of the girls from the Thompson House were able to come for several weeks of camp. One of these girls, Diamond Watson said she loves going to camp and seeing the friends she met at last year’s sessions. She enjoyed the zip
line and human foosball, as well as many other activities. Johanna and Sequoia also enjoyed a couple of weeks of camp this summer.
During Rucker week, July 6th to July 12th, five of our young people attended camp: Johanna Vilarson, Diamond Watson, Destany Woodard, Athena Wagner, and Sebastian Wagner. On Thursday night, Sebastian commented that he was not looking forward to Saturday morning because it would be sad to leave camp. Jeremiah and Jasper attended Teen Week and when asked if he was having a good time, Jasper, with a big smile, replied, “Yes ma’am”. We are thankful that Central Florida Bible Camp is so close, as it is a great opportunity for our children to experience God and His people.
Reopening of Lugar Cottage for Boys CH&BS recently celebrated the reopening of Lugar Cottage, one of our children’s homes currently operating on campus. Lugar Cottage has undergone an extensive facelift in order to better serve the boys who reside there. The children’s home serves homeless, abused and at-risk children. Lugar Cottage was built in the 1980’s and has served as more than a shelter for its residents; it is a home, with houseparents who provide the love and support needed to help these boys grow, heal, and learn in a safe, nurturing, Christian environment. This recent remodel included new appliances, flooring, roof, entry way and carport, paint, landscaping and updated furnishings. This was all thanks to many local donors and an unbelievable volunteer work force from the Jacksonville Beach Church of Christ. The renovated house can serve up to eight boys along with houseparents, their family, and a relief quarter. The reopening was celebrated with an open house and tours given at the September’s Chicken Supper.
CH&BS Proudly Reopens Our Variety Shoppe The CH&BS Variety Shoppe reopened on Monday, September 15th. The staff was hard at work last summer giving the art deco-inspired building a fresh new look including new flooring, ceiling, lighting, and a paint scheme that both highlights and preserves the building’s unique architectural style. The CH&BS Variety Shoppe was first opened in 1981 on Fifth Avenue in downtown Mount Dora. It moved to its current location on Old US 441 in 1992, renovating what was once the Pink Cottage Candy, a local confectionary, into the 6,000 square foot store that it is today. The proceeds from the CH&BS Variety Shoppe help fund our children’s homes, single parent programs, and school. Patrons can shop with a purpose, knowing they are helping local children and families and saving money themselves. The CH&BS Variety Shoppe appreciates and accepts donations at its next door donation center during business hours. It is open Monday through Friday, 9 am to 5 pm and Saturday, 9 am to 4 pm. It is located at 2235 Old US Highway 441 in Mount Dora. Imagine Magazine Fall 2014 | 5
SPOC WELCOMES THREE NEW FAMILIES CH&BS’s Single Parent Opting for Christ program grew with three new families this school year! Marie Pierre and her four children, 6th grader Janecia, 8th grader Jesiah, 10th grader Jasper, and 11th grader Jeremiah have quickly become part of the CH&BS family. On Thursday and Friday nights, the family can be found on the football field. Jesiah plays for JH football while his sister, Janecia is part of the JH cheerleading squad. Jasper and Jeremiah are members of the Varsity football team. Octavia
Burns and her three children are quickly settling in on campus as elementary and HECC students. Zacheus is in the four year old class at HECC. Aryanna is in the 2nd grade and D’noris is in the 3rd grade at our elementary school. Octavia is working in our cafeteria and plans to begin school soon. Finally, Bernice Kleckner and her 10th grade son, Kyle, moved from Fort Walton Beach to join the program. Bernice works part time in our administrative office and they are both very happy to be a part of CH&BS.
Two New Students Call Thompson House “Home” Welcome 17 year-old Deonna to the Thompson House and CH&BS. Deonna is in the 11th grade and enjoys playing softball and running track. Deonna has already become involved on campus joining the TV Production and other activities. Deonna was baptized at Orange Avenue Church of Christ on Sunday, November 2. This October, Marissa joined the Thompson House family, as well. Marissa is in the 11th grade and looks forward to getting involved here on campus.
SonQuest Inspired Our Youth All of our residents and their families were blessed to attend this year’s SonQuest on August 29th – 31st. SonQuest is an annual youth event sponsored by the Churches of Christ. This event focused on offering a weekend filled with spiritual worship, Bible-based lessons, and good Christian fun. Over 1,700 teenagers from across the Southeast attended this inspiring event. For many it was a life-changing event. In fact, two of our residents, Leah Marolo and Jeremiah Pierre, were so inspired that they decided to give their lives to Christ and were baptized at SonQuest. Leah is the 9th grade daughter of Ana Marolo, a parent in our single parent program. Leah was baptized by Scott Simpson, the youth minister at Orange Avenue Church of Christ. Jeremiah Pierre is the 11th grade son of one of our newest parents in our single parent program, Marie Pierre. Jeremiah was baptized by his football coaches and mentors, Coach Dennis Cardoso and Coach Kolby Tackett. We are delighted to welcome them into the family of God! 6 | Imagine Magazine Fall 2014
Students Driven to Lead Top student leaders, senior Christina Delahoz, and junior Cape Monn were nominated by the administration of MDB to attend the inaugural Presidential Leadership Institute at York College in York, NE. This weeklong conference focused on character-driven leadership. Students were selected from throughout the country to attend the institute focused on not only improving their own leadership skills but on using their new-found skills to resolve a current issue their school faces. Christina and Cape were tasked with creating a plan for improving the Buddy Program at MDB. The Buddy Program pairs high school seniors with incoming 6th graders for mentoring.
“The Presidential Leadership Institute was a ton of fun,” says Cape Monn, “but that wasn’t the goal. We focused in-depth on leadership skills and the betterment of ourselves and others through our actions.” Students were treated to expert speakers throughout the week and also put their servant leadership into action, joining
York College’s Alumni and Friend’s Workdays, beautifying the York College campus with other volunteers. Their lessons were rounded out with visits to the Nebraska State Capital where they met Senator Greg Adams, had lunch at the Governor’s Mansion, and visited with Governor Dave Heineman.
Christina and Cape will continue to put their leadership skills to work this school year, as they were selected to serve as student representatives on the Mount Dora Chamber of Commerce. As student representatives, they have been tasked with the responsibility of attending all chamber meetings and representing the student voice in decisions being made by the board. “So far, the most interesting part of my participation was being able to observe first-hand the kind of collaboration and work required to complete activities just at a citylevel. I have been able to see what type of planning goes into major events such as Light Up Mount Dora,” explainsed Cape.
Students Earn State and National Honors Junior Beta members, Danielle Christopher and Emily Leto competed at the National Junior Beta Convention this June in Richmond, Virginia. Along with these two eighth grade students, fellow Junior Beta members, Lauren Abbate and Molly Elenz made the trip to represent their club and support their fellow club members. Each of the students earned their invitation to compete in the national competition by placing at the Florida State Junior Beta Convention in December. Danielle and Emily squared off with the top jewelry artists and speakers from around the country. Danielle competed against 16 other artists and although she did not place at the national level, her necklace was well received. Emily and 31 of the top speakers from throughout the country competed with prepared speeches about this year’s theme: Making History with Beta. Emily placed 5th, bringing back to her school and club, her second national trophy.
Junior Beta is a non-profit educational youth organization that focuses on service,leadership, and academics. At MDB it is an extremely active
club with over 50 middle school members. These members accomplished many goals this year, raising money for the Susan G. Komen Foundation, helping with the sleds at the Mount Dora Christmas in the Park, selling red thread bracelets to combat human trafficking, donating time and laundry items to the Ronald McDonald House, and visiting Avante with puzzles and hand-made cards for its residents. They also maintained a 3.5 or higher GPA and competed in academic, art, and other competitions at both the State and National Junior Beta Conventions. Mount Dora Bible School is proud of all its Junior Beta members for their many accomplishments this past year. Emily Leto

RE ACHING FOR THE FUTURE
8 | Imagine Magazine Fall 2014
ON SEPTEMBER 10, 1945, Christian Home and Bible School opened its doors to students for the first time; bringing the dream of visionary Christian leaders to life. Born of the desire to create a strong Christian school and nurturing, safe home for children in need, Christian Home and Bible School continues to stand true to its mission: Educating for Eternity and Life. Join us as we take a look back with great appreciation at the past 70 years and look forward with great anticipation for what our future holds.

IN our VIEW THE PAST 70 YEARS have brought many amazing achievements and momentous occasions to our campus. Just for fun, we asked some of our youngest students what they thought Mount Dora Bible would be like 70 years from now, in 2084.
Noah Musslewhite: This is the school in 2084. There will be iPads for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th grade. There will be at least 1,500 people attending this school. It will also become at least 110 acres. The school will
think of easier ways to do things. The generations will get smarter. The 1st graders will be doing 2nd grade things. The 2nd graders will be doing 3rd grade things. The 3rd graders will be doing 4th grade things. The 4th graders will be doing 5th grade things. The 5th graders will be doing 6th grade things and so on. That’s what it will be like in 2084.
Nina Pruitt: In 70 years (2084), I predict that this school will be a lot different. I think that there will be ribbons and beautiful
curtains. I think that maybe there will even be a new pool or even maybe a new place to exercise. There will be a lot more places where people live on campus. There will be tons and tons of school clubs, meetings, and school activities. The auditorium will look like a huge, massive church with a huge shiny brown cross in the very middle. 70 years from now, this school will be like a wonderland!
Katie Rogers: I think the buildings will be made out of technology and you can just walk through the walls. Andrew Ruggieri: I think there will be hover chairs, robots that help the teachers, and hover pads to go upstairs instead of stairs.
Aanika Valbh: I think you will come into school and you will have to sit down in a chair. There will be metal hats that will download all the lessons into your brain.
Ethan Palacios: I think we will have iPad desks and we will have hover boards instead of chairs. Emma Lee: The tops of desks will be big iPads so we won’t need books. All the buildings will be different.

CLUBS LEARNING TO LEAD AND SERVE OUR COMMUNITY Reaching out to the community in new and exciting ways, MDB in coordination with Kiwanis, chartered three new service clubs on campus this year. The K-Club for Kids has been chartered in the elementary school for 4th – 5th graders. The Builder’s Club has been chartered and will join forces with our middle school club, Mission Possible. In high school, The Way will team up with Key Club. Together MDB and our local Kiwanis are making history. This is the first time in Kiwanis history that all three clubs have been launched on the same campus in the same school year. K-Club is being co-sponsored by Mrs. Laura Hamburg and Mrs. Amanda Colwell. Mrs. Colwell states, “I am sponsoring this club to promote service leadership in our younger generation. I think it’s great for kids to learn at an early age that no matter how big or small they are, they can still make a powerful impact.” Builder’s Club will be sponsored by Ms. Sara Hill. Builder’s Club will come together with Mission Possible. With the passion for Christ-like service of Mission Possible and the fantastic leadership structure and community involvement of Builder’s Club, we are confident that this new organization will rise to new levels of service leadership.
Key Club for our high school students will be sponsored by Mrs. Cindy Brown. The Key Club will team up with The Way, a high school Christian service club. The Way/ Key Club plans to partner with Deliver the Difference and the Orange Avenue Church of Christ’s food pantry to feed many of east Lake County’s citizens in need. They will continue the long-standing partnership with the Orlando Christian Service Center in Orlando, traveling there at least twice to serve lunch and distribute collected items to the homeless of Central Florida. OSCS has requested that The Way/Key Club bring donations of blankets and men’s socks this year. The club began collecting those items in November. Mrs. Brown explained, “I am sponsoring The Way/Key Club because as Christians, we are called to serve, and that is this group’s ‘soul’ purpose.” On Wednesday, October 22nd, there was a Kickoff Breakfast here on campus for the Builders Club and Key Club from 7:30-9:00 am. The local Kiwanis chapter was present and the Regional Lt. Governor for Kiwanis installed our officers for both clubs. Chapter members, sponsoring faculty and parents attended the event.

FALL FAMILY NIGHT
Our media specialist, Anne Elenz and P-T-A kicked off the new year with a night of good food, fellowship and great entertainment! Our first school-wide Family Night was born from Mrs. Elenz’s desire to kick off the new year in a fun way involving families in the education of their children and helping them to feel welcome as learning partners with our school. Families began their evening in the cafeteria with a free spaghetti dinner, followed by entertainment from story teller, composer, and recording artist, Madeline L. Pots and professional story teller, Louise O’Leary. Both travel throughout Florida weaving their tales for all who will listen. Finally, the evening ended with the first P-T-A
invited back to the elementary and preschool classrooms to meet their student’s teachers. Every year we have grandparents who travel from near and far to join us on this special day. This year one of our students had a special surprise. Zachary Rudd had no idea that his grandparents were flying in from Texas to share this day with him. He was overwhelmed with joy when they arrived. Thank you Ms. Richmond and to all who helped make this special day on our campus a great success.
meeting for the 2014-15 school year. Led by our new P-T-A President, Haley Nichols, upcoming events such as the Fall Festival were discussed along with successes of last year. “Having a Family Night at the beginning of the school year was, I believe, a powerful demonstration by the Media Center staff and the P-T-A officers to show parents that we are committed to not only the importance of literacy but to also foster their involvement as part of our school family. I am looking forward to continuing an event of this type biannually” revealed Mrs. Elenz. Thanks to Mrs. Elenz and our P-T-A officers for planning this fantastic evening.

EDUCATION MDB reaches out today to help our students reach success in their future through a greater emphasis on STEM education K-12. According to the National Education Association, if the United States is to hold a competitive edge in a rapidly changing global workforce, bolstering the nation’s science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) workforce is essential. We must connect our students to the careers of the future. STEM related careers comprise 20% of all US jobs and this number is on the rise. In order to continue our commitment to our mission, Educating for Life and Eternity, MDB must engage its students in curriculum that will develop their interest and confidence in critical thinking and problem solving skills vital to succeed in the global economy of today and tomorrow. MDB has rededicated itself to this endeavor with the implementation of new course and club offerings on campus this year. With the opening of the new science building in the spring, we will continue to offer new and innovative ways to foster life-long learning in these vital areas.
Elementary Students Join First Lego League Mount Dora Bible School is pleased to announce its inaugural season with First Lego League club. The start of the new school year brought this fantastic after-school opportunity for students ages 9-14. This club is specifically designed to appeal to our 21st Century students. This fun, relevant, hands-on approach represents the school’s dedication to providing its students with new and unique ways to engage with STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) education. First Lego League is a robotics league for students ages 9-14. Its goal is to get children excited about math and science and help them develop skills necessary to excel in life and the 21st century work place. Students compete in teams of 10 to answer the FLL yearly challenge. The challenge must be answered through the programming of an autonomous robot used to score points on a thematic playing surface. This year, fourth grade teacher Mrs. Rhonda Hammond will lead and coach the inaugural MDB FFL team. “I attended a FIRST competition last year and was blown away at the spirit of the room. Everything was upbeat and students from different schools were mingling and sharing their experiences with each other. I really liked what I saw. Students supported each other, cheering for not only their own team, but all the teams involved. The core value of team spirit was flowing over to all teams. My goal this year is to do that with our participants. 14 | Imagine Magazine Fall 2014
We are a team and we support each other, but we support all other teams and encourage them in their endeavors also” stated Mrs. Hammond. fifth graders, Joe Bostwick, Christian Kupchick, Amelia Deleon, Andrew Moore, Caleb Dearing and Ethan Palacios, alongside fourth graders, Ryan Scott, Austin Rubright, Diego GarciaRivera, Christopher Hall, Lydia Johnson, and Samatha Thomas make up MDB’s 2014 – 15 FFL team. “It is great to be a part of something new at MDB. It is also great to get to build a robot out of Legos and program it,” stated an excited Amelia Deleon.
Students Reach for New Goals with FIRST Tech Challenge
MDB once again will compete in the FIRST Tech Challenge. FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is an international, K-12 not-for-profit organization founded by inventor Dean Kamen to inspire young people’s interest and participation in science and technology. Led by science teacher Bill Hamilton this year, two teams have been formed to represent the MDB Bulldogs in this exciting “sport of the mind.”
Each team must design, build and program a robot to answer the challenge set forth in the FIRST Tech Challenge Game “Casade Effect.” Answering the challenge will require teams to use STEM skills including real-world math and science concepts, organization, problem-solving, developing relationship skills among their teammates and other teams, and harnessing
all of their creativity toward a common goal. This year team 7141 Dawgs of Steel includes Steven Conway, Evan Bowden, Blake Rotti, Hunter Cumming, Lilly Nava (Captain), Chris Perkins (Captain), Nicolas Guerra, Nick Mowers, Amelia White, Elizabeth Butkins, Brett Barnett, and Brooke Fuller. Team 7142 Deciptidogs includes Bryce Bridgeman, Athena Wagner (Captain), Camille Craig, Noah Aitken, Sebastian DeLeon, Colby Fecht, Owen Conner, Natalie Burno, and Rebecca Perkins. MDB hosted the first robotics competition of the season on November 1st. Their second scheduled match will take place December 13th at Hagerty High School. If our teams do well at these matches, they will move on to the league championships on January 10th and then to their goal, the state championships in early February.
Students Create their Own Digital Games MDB offers a new innovative approach to offering STEM education to its secondary students. To reach our technology savvy students we must get creative in our course offerings. Gaming Design, Technology & Development is a new course taught by Mr. Doug Horton, designed to do just that. It is an engaging way to introduce students to computer programming. Students will learn to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively, essential skills for life in the 21st century. Students will use a program called “Construct 2” that allows them to build games from scratch, start to finish. Developed by STEM Fuse, this program focuses on all aspects of STEM skills and concepts. In this two-semester course, students will learn the technical skills required to build games, including programming, graphic design and animation, use of the engineering design cycle, the storyboarding process and the math and physics concepts used in game development. After completing the step-by-step lessons that teach these skills, students will develop their own original games! They learn real-world applications for gaming, and how to differentiate quality games from poor games.

Mrs. Hadley plans to do just that, already implementing exciting improvements throughout the preschool, and appointing a new Assistant Coordinator, Ms. Kristen Box. Ms. Box is a MDB graduate herself, who went on to get her Bachelor’s degree in Social Work and her Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy at Harding University. Mrs. Hadley states, “Kristen has the ability to empathize with those who are hurting and struggling, to help them look for solutions, and to walk beside them in the journey. She is going to be a great help to our teachers as they look for ways to help all of our students succeed in the classroom and a listening ear for our parents.”
Mrs. Hadley plans to bring the same data-based culture to inform instruction from the elementary school into the preschool. This allows academic decisions for students to be made based on objective standards. With this in mind, new curriculum has been implemented throughout the preschool. In the four year old classrooms they will be using “Splash into Pre K,“a kindergarten readiness curriculum that integrates reading, math and science using thematic units. The two year old and three year old classes will use, Learn Every Day, which is also thematic and builds the prerequisite skills for entering the Pre K four year old class.
Together, Mrs. Hadley and Ms. Box have spearheaded improvements
We are excited to see the transformations at the center that will greatly enhance an already solid program and more closely align our preschool academics with our elementary school.

MDB FINANCIAL STATEMENT
Christian Home & Bible School has touched many lives in the past seventy years. As a second generation alumnus I am proud of the everyday impact we make in children’s lives. Every day over 500 children experience a loving Christian environment. At a time when Christian morals and truths are not valued, it is important to know that CH&BS still seeks to show Christ’s love to each child in our ministry. As we reflect on seventy years of service to children the teachers who taught me and our current staff have all had one common goal in mind: to help students grow as Jesus did “in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and man.”
In 2012, we began providing this financial report as a matter of stewardship to donors who make this ministry possible. This commitment to stewardship accompanied by your generous support allows CH&BS to continue to serve children in this important ministry. I hope you will take he opportunity whenever you are in the Central Florida area to visit the campus to “See What We’re All About”! Kent Means
