Parent Weekly Newsletter 2/22

    As this fine educational institution celebrates its 100th anniversary, one could only imagine the lives that have been impacted through the efforts of faculty and staff.  Simply calculating the students alone would be awe-inspiring. However, let us take that one step further.  What if each student impacted the lives of just five people? This year Biola registered over five thousand students, which would suggest that more than 25,000 people could potentially be influenced by a student from Biola.
    Consider now your own student, or perhaps, students.  How many lives will they touch and influence because of their attendance at Biola?  Who might come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ because of the biblical foundation that has been the core of your child’s studies?  As this school year progresses toward another graduation ceremony or perhaps the transition of students from one grade level to another, we as loved ones merely get the effortless pleasure of being a bystander to history in the making.
    There is a deep sense of joy in the progress, and admiration of the efforts, put forth by the students ~ our students ~ of Biola.  Whatever the stage of your student in his or her education, may we always remember these days as those that established the Rock-solid foundation of a Jesus Christ-centered education that will, without question, change the world.  Here is to the next 100 years!
