"God tells us in Ephesians 6 to daily put on the armor of God because we are in a battle. The evil one wants our children (and us) to live in the rattled state of fear and anxiety because then our eyes and our minds become distracted. ⁠ ⁠ Let’s put on the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shoes of peace, take up the shield of faith, and the helmet of salvation so we are able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. ⁠ ⁠ Let’s teach our children to do the same and rest in the truth that His 'perfect love casts out fear.' 1 John 4:18" - Rebecca Little, Perimeter School Lower Elementary Principal⁠ ⁠ Head over to the Perimeter School blog and search "How to Shepherd an Anxious Heart" for some simple ways from Rebecca we can try to guard against anxiety becoming more commonplace and robbing the innocence of childhood and joy in all of us.⁠ ⁠
Get up and get moving! Strong gross motor skills help your child with increased spatial awareness, coordination, and core strength - all essential skills for your child’s success! ⠀ ⠀ Build these skills at home in simple ways as you encourage your child to have a crawling race together. Crawl quickly, then crawl in slow motion, and even backwards! These simple, fun activities provide foundational developmental building blocks. Crawling can grow to become a crab walk or any other variety of #grossmotor movements used to race around the house. Have fun, laugh, and remember to display the joys of learning as your child plays. #LearningThroughPlay
Carrie, Perimeter School Class of 2005, works part time as a physical therapist at North Fulton Hospital and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Scottish Rite. She lives in Milton with her husband and their son, Colton.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ "When I consider how my time at #PerimeterSchool affects me today on a regular basis, I'm most confident in the fact that I have a deeper knowledge and understanding of Scripture. ⠀ ⠀ As a physical therapist, I get the joy of offering hope and healing (hopefully spiritually as well as physically) to patients who are potentially in a difficult and dark place in their lives.⠀ ⠀ I'm not sure I'm even fully aware of all of the ways that Perimeter School influenced me, but I know it was fundamental in shaping my faith during such critical years of late elementary school and middle school. Because of the exposure to the gospel early and often throughout my time there, I was able to walk into high school and now my daily life with a strong foundation and confidence of what I believe and who I am.⠀ ⁠⠀ Perimeter School offered me the opportunities and challenged me to step up to be a leader in ways that I couldn't have experienced elsewhere. I had teachers that encouraged me to use skills I wasn't aware that I had, and cheered me on all along the way. I knew that I was loved by the community at Perimeter, and I was able to step into roles of influence with confidence because of their support. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Now as a mom, I hope and pray that I pass on the knowledge of scripture, and can communicate a similar understanding of the gospel to my kids that I received so that they can influence the world and future generations." - Carrie Colcord McClure.⁠

"When I’m exposed to my own brokenness and what Jesus did on the cross for me, I long for the lost world around me.⁠ ⁠ Because of #discipleship, I am more purposeful in how I engage with my lost friends and neighbors. The beauty in a gospel-centered outward focus (rather than a self-centered inward one) is that it brings life into my own personal walk with the Lord. Evangelism brings momentum to my faith. It excites me and reminds me of His great work on Calvary for my own sins. ⁠ ⁠ Reflecting on my greatest challenge of parenthood, it was and is discipleship that points me to Christ and gives me the strength to face those circumstances with a whole new perspective.⁠ ⁠ Discipleship has been life-giving to me and my children alike. ⁠ ⁠ Sometimes it takes a broken person surrounded by other broken people to understand that God wants to use out weaknesses to showcase His strength." - Caitlin Goss, Perimeter School mom and Perimeter Church Women's Discipleship Coordinator⁠ ⁠ Head over to the Perimeter School blog and search "The Richness of Being Broken and Beautiful Together" for more compelling advice from Caitlin on the impact of being fully known and fully loved within a community.⁠
Developing your child’s skills regarding numbers early on will help him or her with math, time-related concepts, and more. ⠀⠀ You can strengthen these skills at home by using a visual calendar. Count the days until special events (vacations, Christmas, birthdays, etc.) out loud and reference the differences in lengths of times for children to understand the association of greater and fewer. #LearningThroughPlay
Evan, Perimeter Class of 2003, works as the Manager of Premium Sales & Corporate Partnerships for the Atlanta Hawks & State Farm Arena. He lives with his wife and their 7-month-old, little girl.⁠ ⁠ “Without the leadership at Perimeter School constantly pouring into me, I would not have developed into the person I am today. There’s a certain level of accountability that you’re held to at Perimeter, and that accountability I received as a kid transformed me into an adult who can be held accountable.⁠ ⁠ Perimeter School lead me to build a solid foundation first built on Christ. My time there opened up so many doors in life through affiliations with Camp All-American, Perimeter Church, and life-changing discipleship groups, all of which have led to countless friendships.⁠ ⁠ While I don’t work in a ministry-related industry, I’ve learned that my entire life is a ministry. I work in an environment mixed with believers and non-believers, and in my management role I try to lead by example whether it’s inviting co-workers to church, going through a small group with fellow employees, or setting a Christ-like example throughout my daily regimen.⁠ ⁠ I’m thankful to my parents for putting me in a position to experience the environment at Perimeter School. While I didn’t know it at the time, the teachers, coaches, and principals all put me in a position to succeed in life.⁠ ⁠ I am confident that no matter where life takes me or any career moves I might make that I will carry my faith and the confidence to express who I am in Christ.” - Evan Gilles
