Welcome To The Fall Semester
High Country Member News
Welcome all High Country families. We are excited to get the new school year started with you. Home schooling is an amazing blessing that each of us get to participate in, and High Country is here to be part of that journey. High Country is a place where we are reminded that we are not alone and we can do this. The community here has inspired me to try new things with my children and encouraged me when homeschooling seemed hard. God is the one who gives us the strength and guidance in our homeschooling journey. He is also the one who provides this ministry, where we can encourage one another. I am grateful to be back on-site with you all and look forward to many great memories. I encourage you not to be shy; sit at a table with other families during classes, and go out on the playground with your children. The best way to meet each other is just saying hi and finding out others’ interests. High Country has an amazing group of families. Please do not leave a day without meeting someone. I look forward to a great year with you! ~Erica Danielson

I waited patiently for the LORD; and He inclined to me, and heard my cry. He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my steps. He has put a new song in my mouth— praise to our God; many will see it and fear, and will trust in the LORD.
~ Psalm 40:1-3 NKJV
