“Just LIVE it!”
James 1:22

FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S DESK
James 1:17 states, “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.”
This past weekend, we had the opportunity to see one of these ‘perfect gifts’ on display through our students in High School Musical. As the 6th – 8th grade students memorized lines, sang melodic melodies, prepped stage pieces, and practiced choreography, the talents of each student were raised as a gift to the Lord. As your child(ren) come home and share the things they have learned, explored, or created at school, be sure to encourage them that in everything they do, they do it for the Lord!

Blessings,
Mr. Weener

Although the auction smashed all previous fundraising records, (with over $130,000 raised), the biggest win was the amazing Christian community we were able to experience. God has truly blessed our community with alumni, grandparents, parents, and supporters who truly believe in our treasured mission Continue reading Parent Note – April 25, 2022 →
