It means not allowing circumstance, emotions, other people’s feelings or actions to make the choice for you. It means moving through (not avoiding) the hard, the monotonous, the uncertainty, until you arrive at God’s intended outcome.”

“Intentionality is a rare commodity in a world that sees ‘self’ first. In our Turning Pointe world, we encourage our students to lift their eyes and see those around them. Be that intentional voice that encourages others. Intentionality can change lives and change our world! We then reflect our Creator who sees us and in that place...we shine best! Praying for our parents and students as we begin a year of shining bright!”
