Elementary Chapel Day: We heard about the Evidence of God in our lives in our words and deeds. Mrs. V. Folkema shared her story about how God is with us wherever we go, even on vacation! We learned a new song about “Whatever You Do” – how you need to do all to the glory of God. Many of the students also were able to lead us in our singing today. It was great to have some little ones come join us up front also! After being out 2 days for snow days, it was great to come back and focus on having God in our lives every day!

Last week first grade got together to learn about Harriet Tubman. We learned that Mrs. Tubman was a Justice Seeker by helping slaves get to freedom through the Underground Railroad. We also learned about the quilt of freedom and how that helped the slaves as well. We decide to make our own quilt!

Family Group Friday: the theme today was worship. In our groups, our middle school leaders led us with questions like: why do we worship? When do we worship? How do we worship? We shared our ideas and then had a time of worship together. We read together from Psalm 92 “It is good to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to your name, Most High; To declare your goodness in the morning, and your faithfulness by night.”

Last week, 3rd SI celebrated their last Christmas Party. Yes, you read that right! Students learned that Puerto Rico has the longest Christmas in the world. The 3rd graders learned more about their traditions, food and when is the end of Christmas. They enjoyed making 'quesitos', a traditional Puerto Rican pastry. Students also wrote a paragraph about their learning and share their findings and another dessert they made with their 8th-grade friends!

Middle School Chapel: Worship! Today in the MS chapel, we looked at what we thought the definition of worship was and what scripture had to say about worship. We noticed that our list of definitions included action and that the Bible pointed us toward understanding that worship starts in our hearts. Our MS students were challenged to lead all of our students in worship next week in their family groups.

On Tuesday January 17, Kinder and 2nd grade SI classes walked to the Inspire church to pack food for Hand2hand. That week, 180 bags were delivered. We also helped to pack some breakfast and snacks for the next following weeks. It was a blessing and joy to be community builders and servant workers for our community. We were also able to buy cereal and bring it to their pantry with the money we made every Wednesday selling snacks at school

The Outdoor Education students are learning survival skills as a part of our survival series unit. The 5th graders are discovering God’s design of fire and learning how to steward it well. So far they have learned: -I can identify the fire triangle (heat, fuel, oxygen) and use it to build or extinguish a fire. -I can identify and gather tinder and kindling, and I can use them in building a fire. I can build four types of fires (Tepee, Log Cabin, Lean-to, Criss-Cross). -I can practice safety measures for containing and caring for a fire.
