“A
third of our kids don’t go to college, and we don’t apolo g ize for that,” said Matt Buckwalter of the student population at Linville Hill Christian School, where he serves as head of school. “We don’t believe 100% or even 50% should go.” Buckwalter went on to explain how the 80-yearold school prepares students for life after graduation by helping them discover their interests and developing critical skills. Part of that preparation utilizes internship opportunities with area businesses. The internship program at Linville Hill, which is a critical part of student preparation for the real world, is overseen by Michele Mabus, director of career development and internship with Linville Hill. According to Mabus, the gist of the program can be found in a few questions. “It’s really answering ‘who am I?’ and

On a deeper level, Mabus noted that a student’s growth through the program results in “a sense of identity and brings them into the community in a way that is life-giving and makes them feel
they have a place.” To arrive at that place, students begin by learning soft skills character building, collaboration, teamwork, communication, and problem solving - as they serve See Linville Hill pg 2

Last year, when David Kieffer was interviewed about the first FaithfulGive, the board president said that he hoped the online giving event would raise $500,000. “My minimum goal was to do $300,000,” recalled Kieffer. “(I thought), ‘If we do $500,000, it’s a resounding success.’” When all the donations were tallied up at the end of the event, the 2023 FaithfulGive had raised more than $729,000. “That more than met my expectations,” said Kieffer. The second FaithfulGive online fundraiser will include the awarding of See FaithfulGive pg 6 prizes to participating organizations.
