K-5th Math Bowl

Last Friday, our K-5th graders had a blast solving math-related puzzles and taking part in a math scavenger hunt. Congratulations to all our participants!

Drama Production & Casts Prepare for May 10-11 Shows

Getting ready for two one-act plays requires commitment and tons of rehearsals! And that’s not including the production crew, who has been hard at work on set design, planning for makeup and hair, costumes, etc. We hope you’ll join us for the productions on Friday night, May 10th or Saturday, May 11th at 2 p.m.

JELLO Discipleship: God Isn’t Slow to Keep His Promises

Our K-5th graders are finishing up their semester-long study of the promises of God. This week, they learned that God isn’t slow to keep His promises based on 2 Peter 3:9. Mrs. Cori helped the students make JELLO, and she used it as an object lesson to teach that providing the students with soupy JELLO wouldn’t be the best for them — and God knows what His best is for each of them, too.

StoryLab Interviews in 8th Grade Discipleship

One of the final projects in 8th grade Discipleship is for each student to interview a person they believe hears from God. What a wonderful gift of an assignment: to learn from other believers who have walked the journey ahead of them and are continually seeking growth in their relationships with God. Thank you to all the parents and grandparents who took time out of their schedules to participate.

Math games are a fun way to practice concepts for review! With the help of the 6th and 7th-grade buddies, our kindergarten and first graders got some practice in this week.

Pioneer Week for Kindergarten through Second Grade

Learning the life of a pioneer is so much fun! Our young historians learned about panning for gold, making bread, and old-fashioned games and how to wash clothes without a washing machine!

Student Entrepreneurs Participate in Children’s Market

Some of our students took part in a Children’s Entrepreneur Market in the community last weekend. Way to go, young business owners!

Seventh graders learned that solving puzzles is very mathematic! Can you solve their puzzle?

9th Graders Work on Their End-of-Year Life Skills Project

As they wrap up their first year of high school, Life Skills students work on end-of-year projects together.

6th/7th Graders Attempt a Temple Reconstruction While Studying Haggai

Attempting the temple reconstruction with plastic cups is no easy feat! But that’s what the 6th & 7th grade students did together in Discipleship while reading through the book of Haggai.

4th & 5th Graders Practice Math Concepts with Hands-on Activities

Fourth graders reviewed fractions with dominoes and BINGO while fifth graders took on angles with a hands-on measuring project.
