The red bus arrives at Beechwood Elementary School in Whitehall, Ohio, throughout the day. About 15 students pile on each time, then it drives a few blocks to a church down the street. For the next 40 minutes, the students learn basic biblical teaching alongside virtues such as honesty, integrity and kindness.When the lessons are over, they get on the bus and head back to school to finish the day.
All told, about 500 kids in the school district participate each week. They’re engaged and their parents are thrilled, which is why they keep coming back and even bring friends.This scene plays out weekly at more than 300 public schools in 12 states, reaching more than 30,000 kids. That’s a huge increase from the two schools our organization started with in 2019; and this year, we may grow by hundreds more.
