WE CAN BE HEROES!

Our 2026–27 chapel theme is “We Can Be Heroes,” inspired by Hebrews 12:1–2:

“…and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.”

Throughout the year, we’ll meet Heroes of the Faith—people in the Bible, throughout history, and in our world today who have seen God at work and lived boldly because of Him.

Their stories remind us of God’s courage, strength, blessing, deliverance, and faithfulness—and challenge us to ask: How can I live boldly for God, too?

You can be a hero.
I can be a hero.
We can be heroes.

This month, we’re starting with the greatest hero of all: Jesus. ❤️

Superheroes may be fictional, but Jesus is real. And Jesus shows us what true heroism looks like: loving God and loving people well.

At today's all-school chapel, Mr. Armfield shared the story of Zacchaeus in Luke 19. Through his story, our students can learn to see people the way Jesus sees them. Zacchaeus was a tax collector, viewed by many as a traitor and a sinner. While the crowd saw someone to avoid, Jesus saw someone of immeasurable value—someone made in the image of God.

It’s easy for us to see people the way the crowd does in this story. But this month, we want to learn better how to Love Like Jesus:
👀 See people through God’s eyes.
❤️ Recognize their value.
🤝 Take the first step toward someone.
🙌 Choose to love—even when it’s hard.

Be inspired. Be bold. Be a hero.
Love like Jesus.

What a joy to begin preparing for a new school year together! This week we welcomed staff, parents and students back to campus, learning and serving side-by-side, taking on challenging tasks and experiencing the joy that comes from being in the ECS community together. ❤️

Whether we’re serving, studying, learning, persevering, loving and forgiving like Jesus, or simply enjoying life together, every moment is an opportunity to grow in our dependence on God—and experience real joy in Him.

As 2026–27 unfolds, we look forward to every opportunity God gives us to grow: to deepen our faith, develop patience, persevere, become more like Christ, and encourage one another along the way.

May we count it all joy —no matter what the challenge—  because God uses them to grow us.

Here’s to a year of learning, growing, serving, and discovering the joy of following Jesus—together!

“Count it all joy…” — James 1:2–4

What a beautiful way to close another incredible school year! ❤️🦅

From our Preschool and Kindergarten graduations to celebrating our 8th Grade graduates, this week was filled with milestones, memories, and moments we'll treasure for years to come. Special congratulations go to Emma L., this year's recipient of the Principal's Award for 8th grade.

We gathered together one last time as a school family, enjoyed a yummy PTF-sponsored pizza lunch, cooled off with a visit from the ice cream truck, and spent time laughing, playing, and soaking up the sunshine with friends.

As we say goodbye to another school year, we also shared heartfelt farewells with beloved staff members and families whose Eastside Christian School journey came to a close today. Thank you for the impact you've made on our community—you will always be part of the ECS family.

To all of our students, families, faculty, and staff: thank you for an amazing year filled with growth, learning, faith, and friendship.

Have a blessed, restful, and joy-filled summer. We can't wait to see you back on campus in September!

What a wonderful journey down the rabbit hole!

Last week, our Middle School students took the stage for a fantastic performance of Alice in Wonderland, adapted and directed by our own Mr. Armfield. From memorable characters and creative costumes to plenty of laughter and surprises, the cast and crew brought this beloved story to life with energy, talent, and heart.

What makes this accomplishment even more special is the perseverance behind it. Coming together midway through the school year, our students faced and overcame several unexpected challenges along the way. Through teamwork, dedication, flexibility, and countless hours of rehearsal, they produced a truly outstanding performance.

Bravo to every member of the cast and crew, as well as Mr. Armfield and the many volunteers and families who helped make this production possible. We are so proud of all you accomplished! 🎩🐇

Buckets, bubbles, and servant hearts 🫧🚗

Last week, our 6th grade students spent the day serving at Jubilee Reach in Bellevue through a community car wash as part of the inaugural year of our new WAVES Middle School service program. From greeting guests with smiles to scrubbing cars with enthusiasm, students had the opportunity to practice leadership, teamwork, humility, and joyful service in a real and meaningful way.

WAVES is designed to help our Middle School students grow beyond the classroom through year-long opportunities to serve others, build character, and live out their faith in action — and our 6th graders are already making an incredible impact!

What a special morning in preschool! Today we had the joy of welcoming author Sue Montgomery, who shared her beautiful book, "And the King Smiled," with our students. Through storytelling, music, rhyme, and interactive moments with the children, she brought to life a tender message about the love of God and the joy of loving Him in return. 💛

As our students followed Princess Evelyn’s heartfelt desire to make Father King’s “heart smile,” they were encouraged to think about how even small acts of kindness, gratitude, obedience, and love can reflect our love for God each day. There were smiles, songs, laughter, and meaningful moments throughout the visit as our little learners engaged so thoughtfully with the story’s message.

Experiences like these are such a gift in the preschool years—helping plant seeds of faith in young hearts through creativity, imagination, and truth. We are so thankful to Sue for spending the morning with our ECS students and reminding all of us of the deep love our Heavenly Father has for His children.

Our Kindergarten students enjoyed a fun and educational field trip exploring the beautiful recently! Guided by hatchery educators, students discovered the incredible life cycle of salmon through hands-on activities, learned how fish grow and adapt through each developmental stage, and explored the important role salmon play in the Pacific Northwest ecosystem. From observing fish up close to enjoying God’s creation on a sunny PNW day, it was a memorable adventure full of curiosity, discovery, and wonder! 🐟

Thank you, Auction Donors! With your amazing support, our students have enjoyed some fabulous experiences this month as the school year starts to wind down.

From staff v. student volleyball games to food & ice cream truck birthday parties shared with an entire grade level, bunny petting parties, grade level VIP recesses, and favorite teacher experiences like our annual 1st grade pancake party, we have had so much fun together, celebrating in community this spring.

These joyful moments are made possible through the generosity of our ECS community. Auction donations help fund meaningful student experiences like these, while also supporting a wide range of important all-school initiatives each year that strengthen and enrich student life across our campus.

Thank you for investing in our students, our staff, and the heart of ECS!
