What a blessing to see God at work through our Senior Project! 📚❤️

Tuesday, Julia and Jaxon had the opportunity to visit one of the schools that received donated books — Christ Our Refuge Learning Center in Coron. We are so grateful to be able to support students and encourage learning through these donations!

Please join us in praying for additional shelves to help organize and store the rest of the donated books.

We’re also excited to partner with CORLC’s home church for upcoming outreach opportunities this week. Tomorrow, we will participate in a medical, dental, and optical mission in a neighboring town. Then on the following day, we’ll host a youth sports clinic for elementary-aged children, where Julia and Jaxon will help teach cheer and basketball. 🏀📣

Thank you to everyone who has supported this project through prayers, donations, and encouragement. We are thankful for the opportunity to serve others and share Christ’s love in practical ways!

As our staff wrap up work days this week and finish closing down their classrooms for the summer, we know vacation dreams are already starting! ☀️✈️🌴
So tell us — what are your summer plans?
Are you heading to the beach, visiting family, taking a mission trip, exploring somewhere new, or just enjoying some much-needed rest at home?
Drop your summer plans (or dream vacation!) in the comments and help our staff dream a little as they finish up the school year! 💙📚

This Memorial Day, we honor those who gave their lives in service to our country. As a Christian school, we also reflect on Christ’s words in John 15:13: “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”
Did you know Memorial Day was originally called “Decoration Day” and began after the Civil War as a time to decorate soldiers’ graves with flowers? Today, we remember the sacrifices made for our freedom and encourage our students to live with gratitude, courage, and compassion.

What a meaningful full-circle moment! ❤️

We loved welcoming back the Class of 2025 as they joined us to honor the Class of 2026 at graduation this weekend. While they were here, they saw their incredible senior gift to the school — a beautiful custom bench that will serve as a lasting reminder of their impact and legacy on our campus. 🪑🎓

Thank you, Class of 2025, for continuing to invest in the school that helped shape you. Your kindness, thoughtfulness, and support mean so much to our community. We are proud of you and grateful you’ll always be part of our story! 🙏💙

🎓 What a special moment in the life of our school! Last night, we celebrate the graduation of our SECOND senior class! 🎉

From classrooms and chapel services to friendships, lessons, and unforgettable memories, this class has helped shape the story and culture of our school in such a meaningful way. We are incredibly proud of each graduate and thankful for the way they have grown academically, spiritually, and personally throughout their journey here.

As they step into this next season, we pray they will continue to follow God’s calling, shine His light, and impact the world for Christ wherever they go.

Congratulations, Class of 2026! Once a part of our school family, always a part of our family. ❤️🎓📖🙏

🎓 Our final Senior Spotlight 🎓
We are excited to celebrate Steven!

Steven feels called to ministry and aspires to one day serve as a pastor, faithfully leading others in their walk with Christ.
We are thankful for Steven’s heart for the Lord and pray that God continues to guide and strengthen him as he follows His calling. 🙌
Congratulations, Steven! We are excited to see how God will use your life for His glory! Share your favorite memories and well wishes in the comments.

This week, 5th grade launched the first-ever (and hopefully annual!) 🥔🏅 Potato Olympics!

Earlier in the week, students created their very own “spud-letes,” and now the competition is underway! From distance events to diving, gymnastics, and even dance, these potatoes have been showing off some serious talent and creativity. 😂

What a fun way to combine imagination, teamwork, and lots of laughter as students finish the year strong! We love seeing learning come to life in memorable ways. 💙
Check out just a couple of the students spud-letes.

The senior trip adventures continue! 🗽✨

Our seniors took in one of New York City’s most iconic views from the top of the Empire State Building! From the city skyline to unforgettable memories with friends, this trip has already been one to remember.

We’re thankful for safe travels, meaningful moments together, and the opportunity for our students to experience new places as they celebrate this exciting season of life. 💙

Please continue praying for safe travels and a fantastic remainder of the trip!

Last night we celebrated a special milestone as we honored our 8th grade class! 🎓✨

It was a wonderful evening filled with laughter, memories, encouragement, and excitement for all that lies ahead. We are so proud of these students and thankful for the ways they have grown academically, spiritually, and personally during their middle school years.

Join us in praying for and cheering on this incredible group as they prepare for the next chapter! 💙
