We have a very unique house with a lot of history, located within view of the capitol building. The house is centrally located, only miles away from the revitalized Bricktown, downtown district. Whether running, cooking, praying, doing science experiments, or rocking out with our textbooks out, we all support and love one another.
"Being the seventh grade homeroom teacher last year I tasked my students with a second semester school service project. I'm not sure what expectations I had, but my students blew me away and I got see God in each and every one of them. One group launched an anti-bullying campaign that raised over $100 in a few days and inspired the rest of the class to go above and beyond with their service projects. "
"God created us to live and learn in relation to each other. I am very excited for the opportunities I will have to learn and love in community, and also for the group of my peers who I will be able to share both my joys and sorrows over years to come. "
