Living And Learning in the Last Week of School at Our Christian School

Here are some scenes from the last week of school. God blessed us richly with a wonderful year and we are so grateful for demonstrations of his care that we experienced ever day. 


Grade seven decorated another ceiling tile in the classroom, recording this year's school theme and adding it to a growing visual history of our years of learning on the ceiling. We are thankful for God's care yesterday, today, and tomorrow.












The students' collective JK-8 efforts for our student service project resulted in a gift of $2310.81 to LaGosette Christian School in Haiti. We pray these funds will be a blessing to that community and their future. God's blessings are meant to be shared.








A new bus arrived just in time for the last week of school! We are grateful for our bus driver team and all they do each day to get so many students to school.










Because we just had to pack in a little more fun before the year was done, a mini slip n' slide was a great way to spend a warm afternoon for JK & SK. The joy shows in the laughter and smiles.










Graduation was a highlight of the week, including unique cupcakes. It was a fantastic opportunity to celebrate with our graduates and their families. May God bless them where he takes them.









Our staff have completed the wrap up activities after students left. They are headed to a time of rest & renewal, learning, and eventually getting ready for a new year in late summer. We are so thankful for their love, commitment, and care for our students. 








We planted a tree! The wall in The Hub was decorated last week with a tree, the leaves of which were all of the hand prints of the staff and students. We are thankful for a community to connect with during our learning, serving, and growth.










A S'more is nutritious isn't it?


















Coloured tongues are evidence of year-end celebrations. It's good to stop, take stock, and recognize we have much to be grateful for. God's mercies are new every morning. 


















JK and grade seven had a special relationship all year in many learning tasks. The last one was to trace their outline and see just how much they had grown. We are thankful for meaningful ways to link old and young students together.
















On the last day of school grade 2/3 revisited an ongoing experiment in the front garden. They studied soil composition this year and decided to try out a challenge they found of burying an item of clothing to see what happened to it after two months. We are thankful for the curiosity of our students and where it takes them. 



The joy of fellowship is a blessing everyday. 



















That's a wrap! The classrooms are empty and the hallways are filled. Our custodian will go to work later this month to give the whole place a new glow and get it ready for the fall. They give us a fresh new school every summer and we are thankful for their efforts. 

Praise God from whom all blessings flow.
