At the beginning of each month, we'll be providing parents with talking points and action points to complement what we're doing at school. It's all about strategic parenting.

"Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me." Matthew 25:40
Find a ministry in your city that serves the poor and find out how your family can serve them this month. It could be donating food and clothes or serving at the facility.
Have a clean out day. Go through the closets, the attic, and other storage spaces to see what items you are not using and can be given to someone in need.
Make a day of it by delivering the items to a place that can give them away and then discuss the process as a family.
Howard Graham served as Chaplain at PDS and Executive Director of the Building Boys, Making Men program from 2018-2020.
Building Boys, Making Men is a PDS-created program designed to give boys a godly vision and definition of manhood. We believe that boys should be intentionally taught about authentic manhood and have a biblical framework for making wise and edifying choices during their teenage years and beyond. The definition of manhood we teach our boys:
A real man glorifies God by seeking an adventurous life of purpose and passion as he protects and serves others.
Presbyterian Day School (PDS) is a private, Christian preschool and elementary school serving boys from 2-years-old through 6th grade for almost 75 years.
With our mission of striving to glorify God by developing boys in wisdom and stature and favor with God and man, we take a holistic approach to education, nurturing the heart, soul, mind, and body of each boy.
