Here is the text of an important letter all parents should have received by today from Pastor Tom Cederblom:
March 15, 2010
Dear School Family,
Four years ago I asked Marvin Miller to be the principal of Palm View Christian School. He has done an incredible job and has helped Palm View to dream big dreams while at the same time taking many great strides forward.
Unfortunately, Marvin has expressed to me his intent to not return as principal next school year (please see his attached letter). As many of you probably already know, Marvin recently became a credentialed minister with the Assemblies of God. Marvin has shared with me his desire to be able to pastor (perhaps even pastor a church that would minister to families with disabilities).
I would ask three things from you at this time:
1. Please express your love and appreciation to Marvin for the great job that he has done. He has poured himself into this school and into the lives of students and parents.
2. Please pray for Marvin and Teresa as they search out what God has for them in the days to come.
3. Please register your students for the 2010-11 school year, and as a reminder, the early registration deadline is April 2. The church and school boards will be meeting this month to begin searching for a principal and to begin making plans for next year.
In times of transition like these the Bible always speaks to my heart, and I am reminded of these words, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him and he will direct your paths.” (Proverbs 3:5-6)
If you have comments or questions please do not hesitate to talk to me on campus, call me at the church (562) 698-2564 or email me at tom@palmviewag.com.
Trusting in Him,
Pastor Tom Cederblom.
Here is the text of my resignation letter
Dear parents, teachers, staff, and students:
It has been five years since Pastor Tom first asked me to serve on the school board and teach math. Shortly thereafter, he asked me to consider leaving my position in corporate management and to serve as principal. For the last 4 years, I have put all my time and energy into making Palm View an excellent school. We have come a long way in 4 years, yet there still lies much work ahead.
In life’s journey, we often arrive at unknown crossroads. After much prayer, torment, and struggle, I have decided not to return as principal in the fall. This year’s 8th grade graduation will also see me commencing a new episode in my life. That chapter is not yet written, the pages are blank; I do not know the future, but I do know the One who holds it.
Over the years, I have walked with many of you through illnesses, financial despair, disciplinary issues, arrests, divorce, and much, much more. My prayers have always been that you as parents, and students, would experience God’s love in all that we do.
Thank you for entrusting me with developing your student into a Christ-believing leader who will make a difference in this world. I will treasure it for eternity.
With Honesty,
Marvin J. Miller, M.Div
Principal, Palm View Christian School
