School is the Construction of o Building Christ is the foundation upon which Clinton Christian School has been constructed . The patrons, including the Board of Directors and the P.T.O., stand on God ' s Word in theway the foundational walls are based in their foundation. They are the ones who support the faculty both spiritually and financially. The faculty represents the floor of the school structure. They provide support by presenting the students with ideals on which to build and lean. The teachers and principal are responsible for the actual training of the students. This training and the stu- dents ' use of it nnake up Clinton ' s public face. As the sidewalls, ,the students are the majoi above-ground construction containing the window: and doors . Through these the community people c enter the school and examine the spiritual, educa- tional , and social activities of the students . The activities, like a roof , complete and en- close the school. Students are united by commoi goals which help to stabilize them and encourage them to stand upright and loyally take their rightful places. All these participants, functioning as one build- ing , have helped Clinton Christian School to stand these 28 years. CLINTON CHRISTIAN SC DATE-- iirq

God is the Foundation It is impossible to build a sturdy building without a solid foundation. This is shown in the Bible by the two men who both built a house. The wise man built his house on a rock, while the foolish man chose the sand. When the storm came the foolish man ' s house fell, but the wise man ' s house stood because it had aproper foundation. This is also trueof aChristian school such as our very own; Clinton Christian. AtClinton, God is the foundation. It is upon Him and His Word, the Bible, that the rest of the school is built. It is easy to understand that when you look at a building the foundation cannot be seen, although without it the building couldn ' t stand for a very long period of tinne. So it is with God as the foundation of our school. Although He cannot visably be seen. His works are evident in many aspects of the school . The prayer calendar is only one of the many ways God works in our school . By distributing calendars to every family represented in the school, they share the responsibility of prayer support for the teachers and board members. There are also teacher ' s prayer meetings in which they share their concerns and pray for the students. God ' s Word is the main textbook. All the other subjects tciught center around it. All these things allow God to become the found- ation, which gives Clinton the ability to stand. i
