Miss Coburn
It is with mixed emotions that we
share the news that Miss Megan Coburn has accepted a call to Zion Lutheran
Church and School in Chebanse, Illinois. She will leave at the end of July.
We are very sad to see her
go and will miss her. Megan is an awesome, professional, personable,
capable and well-loved teacher.
We are very excited, however, to witness this new opportunity for her,
knowing that God has led her to this call and that she will be an excellent
teacher for Zion.

Beaming Out (of Luther Hall to make room for Families Moving Forward
Prince of PeaceAcademy has been on a
tremendous path since its official founding as a non-profit school on
June 19th, 2009. Along the way, the Lord has strengthened and guided
the Board, teachers, volunteers, and parents, and opened doors to complete the
work He gave us.
The timing and sequencing of events was nothing less than
divine. As one parent aptly stated "I really feel God is behind this effort. I have detected no obstacles." And a
month later "Is this really happening?"
Messiah blessed the new lamb of a school with much needed
space, a warm welcome, and a safe haven in which to stabilize the school. Messiah
even gave the school a great opportunity to test its flexibility!
After several coordination meetings with Messiah's
volunteers for Families Moving Forward, the Academy "beamed out" of Luther Hall
after school on the last Friday in September, transported classrooms into
a shipping container, then partially reconstituted classrooms in Messiah's Sunday school area. Meanwhile, back at Luther Hall, Messiah provided needed space and volunteers to the families of Families Moving Forward, that they might find hope and move forward. Nine days later, Prince of Peace Academy beamed the
school back into Luther Hall on a Sunday evening, and started school at the normal time on Monday morning.
It was a whirlwind adventure of volunteer, teacher and Board energy guided by the Spirit.
Prince of Peace Academy - the Beginning Prince of Peace Academy was established in the summer of 2009 and opened for the first day of school on September 6 of the same year.
Work progressed quickly with a strong base of energetic parents, students, teachers, supporters and prayer. August of 2009 was dedicated to site preparation with registration day and open house on August 15, then a Grand Opening on August 29.
"Getting to this point has been hard work," said one volunteer, "but it has been a labor of love." We now are focused on getting out the good news of this exciting opportunity for education in the Northern suburbs.
If you want your children or grandchildren to receive a quality education in a peaceful environment; if your children benefit from small classrooms and personalized instruction; then Prince of Peace Academy can be your child's new school. You will not be disappointed.
If you have a heart for Christian education and want to help ensure this valuable alternative is available to the children of our community, consider accepting Prince of Peace Academy as one of your missions.
