Summer days in our horse program are about a lot more than just riding.

Our kids have been learning that caring for horses takes patience, responsibility, and a willingness to work hard, even when that work means cleaning water troughs, helping around the barn, or learning what goes into keeping a horse healthy from the ground up.

A big thank you to Paul, our farrier, for taking the time to teach our youth about hoof care and the important work that goes into it. Wesley was especially interested, and it was great to see that curiosity come alive!

These are the kinds of lessons that stick with a child: responsibility, confidence, stewardship, and the value of doing a job well.

What’s a hands-on skill you learned growing up that still sticks with you today?

Thank you to April Knoblett from the 4-H Extension Office for spending time with our kids at the Home and leading them through this fun art project!

They had a great time painting, creating, and showing off their finished pieces. We’re thankful for people like April who take the time to pour into our kids and make their day a little brighter.

Have a blessed Memorial Day.

Please join us in congratulating the 2026 graduates of New Hebron Christian School! 🎓💚

What a blessing it was to celebrate this special milestone and see these young people honored for their hard work, growth, and faith. We are proud of every graduate, and especially proud of our Lylah. Watching her walk across that stage was a joy, and we are so thankful for the young woman God is shaping her to be.

As Scripture says:

“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.”
Proverbs 3:5-6

We were also encouraged by Pastor J.D. Branson, who reminded the graduates of something simple but powerful: “Read your Bible every day.” That is the kind of foundation that will carry them farther than any diploma ever could.

Class of 2026, we are cheering you on. May you walk boldly into the future God has prepared for you, rooted in His Word, strengthened by His grace, and ready to shine wherever He leads. Congratulations, graduates!

With the end of the school year here, we realize there is still plenty of lessons our high schoolers can learn!

That’s why we are blessed that Bill Greenwood, our house father, and resident Mr. Fix-it teaches his annual Automotive class.

We love math and history is important, but you don’t tend to think of the square root of a number or who was the 14th president when your tire goes out on the highway!

Preparing our young people for real life problems is very important! Pray for them and thank Mr. Bill if you see him around. Blessings!
