Great Presidents and Ignite Christian Academy
February is the month when we honor our two greatest U.S. Presidents, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, born on the 22nd and 12th, respectively. We honor Washington for his character and leadership, around which colonial Americans rallied to win their freedom from an oppressive monarch, and again for the leadership that gave us our Constitution and a pattern for all future presidents.

Although the article focuses on learning Spanish, the hints themselves are applicable to learning any language.

Who’s Your Child’s Hero?
"And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord" (1 Thessalonians 1:6a).
Who are your children's role models? Do they wish to emulate movie stars, sports heroes, or rock stars? Distance learning students at Ignite Christian Academy® are no different from other children.
