One-Act Play Preview and Competition Wrap-up Photos

Join us in congratulating our One-Act Team. They worked incredibly hard these last few months, and our competition was a huge success. They did such a good job!! Here are a few photos from their preview performance and behind-the-scenes preparation on competition day in Rome. This was the first time many of our 7th-9th graders participated in any kind of live drama, so if you see them around, let them know how terrific they are. After the competition in Rome, they got an opportunity to meet theater majors from Shorter University, where the One-Act Competition took place. Some of our students even did some improv with the Shorter students.

Ninth Grade Odyssey Party

After reading “The Odyssey” together, the 9th graders wanted to have a Greek-themed Odyssey party. Mrs. Castro brought authentic desserts, and everyone shared a snack and watched the film, “Ulysseus.”

Costumes Galore!

Spirit Week started off with a festive touch since it happened to coincide with Halloween. Many students wore their costumes to school, which was a good test run for the evening trick or treaters.

Hat Day

To end Spirit Week, students got to wear hats of their choosing. Thanks to everyone who showed school spirit this week!

Buddies Tie Shoes Together

Our K/1 buddies accepted gracious tutoring from their 6th & 7th grade buddies as they reinforced the skill of tying shoes.

Barn Dance Photos

Our 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th graders had a great time last weekend at the Barn Dance. Here are a few in-action photos. Everyone ate, danced, and had a good time. Thank you to all the volunteers and to Mrs. Magana who made it all happen!

8th Grade Discipleship Groups Review Jesus’ Death and Resurrection, 9th Graders Learn about the Upside Down Kingdom

The 8th graders worked in groups to learn about Jesus’ death and resurrection, and they presented what they learned in discipleship. In 9th grade, they learned about what the upside down kingdom looks like.

Kindergarten Pumpkin Projects

The kindergarteners decorated pumpkins and recorded special videos about them in the StoryLab this week.

6th and 7th Graders Learn about Meteors and Craters

The sixth and seventh graders tested meteor sizes and the effect that they have on crater sizes.

Israelite Devotionals in K-5

Our K-5 students learned that God is Deliverer this week. They reenacted the Israelite battle against the Amalekites.

1st Grade Pull-Apart Story Time

Our first graders read and acted out a Halloween story and then used ordinal numbers to put the story back together in the correct order. Way to go, first graders!

Club Day #2

The second Club Period of the year was an active one. Students learned to draw anime, played baseball, danced and spent quality time with some bearded dragons. We’re proud of all of the students who led clubs this time. Great job!
