Something Cool Today

Today the 7th and 8th grade bible classes combined. In taking a step towards spiritual growth, our 7th graders shared their testimonies of who Christ is in their life and their life verse. Right after that, small groups were set up and students prayed for each other. The 8th graders prayed for the 7th grader - what they will face over the next year, spiritual growth and next year's missions trip. The 7th graders prayed for the 8th grader - for high school choice, spiritual growth and for their future. It was really a special privilege to see that happening with our students.

Fifth Grade Reporters

Yesterday I was interviewed by Will Keller and Alex Coval about my job as a principal. They were very well organized and had great questions for the upcoming fifth grade newsletter.
