A Season of Pictures- Feb 10

Through the winter, I want to share pictures of culture changers .

Here is another amazing culture changer you all know:

Mt. Sophia’s principal is a role model for culture changing. When Marilyn Groop sees a need (and feels led to work on it) change happens.

Over a decade ago, the homeschooling culture needed to think about effective ways to “do high school”, so Marilyn boldly helped start this school. Then, two years ago, not willing to allow any more non-traditional learners slip through the cracks if she could help it, she started Elijah School.

Marilyn has also defined her family’s culture by adopting three of her six children. (Her son Alex, a youth pastor, started a new Mt. Sophia adventure by being the first alumnus to marry an alumnus- Kate Weber:)

She is a servant leader who is not afraid of an out-of-the-box and sacrificial lifestyle.

    So, Alex and Kate are starting on the next generation of Mt. Sophians?

    Actually the first “second generation” Mt Sophia student is Gavin Delasser. His mom was in one our first graduating classes.
