The Fun We Have

 

“There is an appointed time for everything, and a time for every affair under the heavens. A time to give birth, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to uproot the plant. A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to tear down, and a time to build. A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance. A time to scatter stones, and a time to gather them; a time to embrace, and a time to be far from embraces. A time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away. A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to be silent, and a time to speak. A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.”

-Ecclesiastes

We believe childhood should be a time of wonder and enchantment. It should be filled with laughter and carefree joy, even as it’s marked by exponential growth in wisdom and self-awareness. School should open the doors to a world of adventure, discovery, and celebration. To that end, we have a lot of fun at OLMC, both during school and after hours. Here are just a few examples:
