Golden Halo 08











A very big night for Christian school teachers in Southwest Florida. The Golden Halo Awards were held at Pelican Preserve. The Lord has provided many things for our school to be proud of:
- We had our two top ten finalists: Lauren Collins, pictured with her husband, Cameron; and Jonathan Blikstad, pictured with his wife, Beth. The ONLY SCHOOL with two top ten finalists.


- I am also very proud of our students and parents - we had the most teachers nominated with 13 total: our two finalists, Shay Cole, Tina Blanden, Robin Couch, Jennifer Crouch, Amy Jean, Amy Harrington, Stacey Leatherman, Rachel McLaughlin, Ronda Richards, Gayle Shell, and Michele Smith.
- Mrs. Dorothy Gulbronson and Miss April King led our middle school choir who ministered during the ceremony with their black light presentation and did a great job representing the school.


- The video inserted includes the report on Fox-36 after the ceremony. Much to my surprise I found out after the ceremony that they interviewed my daughter. Congratulations to Miss Paula Doll from ECS.

Praise God for a great evening for the school!

Mr. Mitchell, loved your story in this blog. Your children's performance Sat night was wonderful and unique. We were blessed by them. Congratulations on your TWO Top 10 Teachers! They are both winners in our book, and we know that you have other wonderful teachers in your school by the previous year's Top 10 candidates as well as the nominations for other teachers. Your school is a gem in our community and I agree that it is God's school. Janet Moore, co-chair 2008 Golden Halo event.
