Dr. McDaniel's Newsletter - October 5, 2025

October 5th, 2025
Shiloh Family,

Get out and enjoy this beautiful day! This evening will be a great night for a fire! If you are a nerd like me it will be an awesome night on the telescope as well. The moon phase is great and you can see Saturn's rings and a couple of its moons in the eastern sky!

9TH GRADE DADS DON'T FORGET TO SIGN UP FOR B3! Details are in your inbox and in the newsletter! We have had several sign up but we just need you to sign up so we can have an accurate count for food, etc. 

THREE THINGS!

1. We are less than one month away from our school accreditation! We are accredited by three different organizations and they are sending a joint team here November 2nd-5th for our accreditation. This occurs every 7 years and this is our year! We have been in our self study window and have done all of our major reporting required. Our administrative team and teachers have worked hard in preparation for this and we are ready! We have a great team that is coming coming to do the visit. We will be contacting some of you to serve on our various parent panels. These are around 30 minute meetings where you meet as a group with one or two members from the accreditation team and they as you various questions about the school! 

2. We need your help with parking! Over the last month and half or so we have tried several different things to keep people from parking in our handicap spots around campus. This gets to be a more acute issue during events and games due to the volume of people we have on campus. We have tried asking people to move their cars, we have had our security guys show up at 5:45 am to put cones out to block the spots from being used so that the people that have handicap tags can use them (we removed the cones 30 min before the games so they are available), to making announcements at the games for people to move their cars, etc. We recognize that there are people not from our school parking in them during events as well but we are asking that we all do our part to not park in a handicap spot unless you have a tag. Thank you! 

3. End of year giving! - As we begin to approach the season of end of year giving I ask that you and/or your business would begin praying now to see if/how God can use your family or your business to help further the movement and mission of our incredible school! We are a 501c3 and we would be humbled and honored if you would consider us in your financial planning. We are blessed in that our tuition covers our operational costs but we need help with the special projects we have on the horizon. 

I am asking that you consider a significant financial gift toward the debt completion of our new elementary building so that we can begin phase two of our building project - our new Competition Gym! Another gym is a necessity for the size school that we are now and we need your help to realize that goal.  This school is a training ground for future faith leaders across the nation and we need you to help us with the facilities they need! Additionally, if you know of any foundations, families, or business nationwide that love Christian Education and want to be a part of the faith movement happening tell them to reach out to me! We are all in this together and we are shovel ready!

Below is the link to the weekly newsletter, a lot of information in there this week! Also, there are a few renderings of the gym!
