Kindness Wins Ice Cream Party
The fourth grade class gets to add pom poms to a jar anytime one of the students does something or says something kind to another classmate. When the class jar gets filled up, they vote on what reward they want to enjoy together. Ms. Robertson said it’s a way she can teach students that their actions impact one another and they can choose to serve and be kind, helping the whole class honor biblical values. They celebrated with an ice cream party for filling the class jar for the first time this year. Way to go, students!
Fall Fun Abounds (2nd Grade, 7th Grade, and High School)

K-5 Discipleship Students Learn Only God Creates Out of Nothing
In their discipleship time, K-5th graders learned that only God can create something from nothing. They were given an assortment of supplies to create all sorts of things: animals, buildings, whatever their imaginations could dream up. But then, the supplies were taken away, and students were tasked with creating something out of nothing. Could they do it? No, because they learned that only our Creator God can make something out of nothing.
