The Purpose of Education
Dr. Wil Stelzer, Principal of Our Savior New American SchoolAs a principal, I care deeply that my students receive a good education. But before I can shape curriculum, hire teachers, or set goals, I must answer one foundational question: What is the purpose of education?Is it to:Prepare kids for college?Set them up for a good job?Position them to make money and be productive members of society?These are common answers—and they’re not wrong. At Our Savior New American School (OSNAS), we do prepare students for college. We do equip them for meaningful careers. But if these goals become the ultimate purpose of education, they fall short.Because everything done outside of Christ is done in vain.I can prepare kids for college… then what?I can set them up for a good job… then what?I can help them earn money… then what?I can give them a comfortable life… then what?Eventually, you die. And if your education was built on temporary goals, it ends in emptiness.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
