Wolverine Weekly Newsletter - September 25-29
Join us for Wolverine Way Night if you haven't yet!
At Northlake Christian School, our unique and fundamental mission is to provide a Christ-centered environment in which faith can be integrated with learning to offer a high-quality, college preparatory education. Academic excellence and solid Biblical integration are not mutually exclusive, but instead should be inextricably intertwined in the well-rounded education of children of any age. As in all effective instructional practice, backward design is used to determine what what a Wolverine graduate should portray. The result can be found in the Wolverine Way which outlines the ultimate goals for a Wolverine graduate - academically, spiritually, and socially.
THE WOLVERINE WAY
A Wolverine will … THINK critically.
A Wolverine will … LEAD courageously.
A Wolverine will … SERVE faithfully.

RUN the Race
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up.
And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.
