TURNER FAMILY Finds a Home at ECS

Last year, Laura and Tim Turner decided that ECS was the right place for their four elementary-aged children, Eli and Lucy (5^th grade), Anna (2^nd grade) and Jonathan (junior kindergarten).

The Turner children were all in the Germantown Municipal School District schools the year before. Tim said, “We actually weren’t actively looking to move schools. We were ultimately drawn in by the leadership, teachers, families and faith. We felt like ECS was so uniquely gifted in those areas, and we wanted to be a part of that.”

Laura added, “The Lord confirmed our decision in different ways throughout the year. We were able to see all four of our children flourish spiritually, academically and socially. It’s such a blessing to have teachers that pour truth and wisdom into the lives of our children.”
