Lisa Kerstetter, CrossNet Ministries director of marketing and events, has strong feelings about the items children should have when they return to school in the fall and how having those items affects their outlook. “Kids going back to school need something to be excited about,” she said. “If you don’t have anything new or exciting, school can be intimidating and kids might not feel as confident. A fresh haircut and clothing can help a student build confidence. That’s my philosophy.” See CrossNet pg 8

For Wanda Swarr, whose professional educational background includes decades of evaluating homeschoolers, competing with technology to educate youths had become a formidable obstacle. “I could no longer be as entertaining as video games, social media,” recalled Swarr. The solution was to combine learning with hands-on experiences in the great outdoors in a microhybrid educational alternative setting. Swarr started with a steering committee of local parents in early 2019, and she opened the doors of Pathways School in late summer. See Pathways School pg 2
