WHAT SHALL WE DO FOR THE PROGRAM THIS YEAR?

This is a common question asked at every school every year. The question that follows is typically, “Where do I begin to look?” Heartland Christian Schools can help you with these questions because we maintain a list of programs given at member schools!  By sharing these programs (music, narrations, dramatized scenes, etc.) schools will have a library from which to choose. In order to increase this web-library, we need input from your school. Forms can be completed on our website.
