As the fall junior high sports seasons have come to an end this week, we are thankful for the opportunity that our 7th and 8th grade students have to participate in different activities at Pella Christian and North Mahaska. We had students participate in cross country, volleyball and football this fall and we look forward to our continued partnership with our students and these schools throughout the year!

Classroom Spotlight: Visitors from the Netherlands

Today we had the privilege of having 9 students from the Netherlands come and visit our classrooms. Each of them shared a little bit about their homes, what they like to do, and even taught some classes a few new Dutch words. They then got to experience lunch and recess with our students to wrap up their time. These students are a part of the exchange program between Pella Christian High School and their school in the Netherlands. Our teachers Mrs. Roose, Mrs. Van Wyk and Mrs. Ver Meer have been hosting a student during their time here in the United States. We are very thankful for the opportunity to learn about another country from these amazing students!

Classroom Spotlight: 6th-8th Grade Band

Students have the opportunity to participate in band starting in the 5th grade. This band is made up of our 6th-8th grade band members who work together under the direction of Mrs. Carolyn Ansley. Band meets twice a week and each student receives an individual lesson during the week as well.

Currently our band members are working on learning their music for the Fall Music Festival that will be held at Pella Christian High School on Tuesday, November 10th. The Fall Music Festival brings together all of the area Christian schools as one band and one choir to perform a combined concert.

Yesterday during chapel, our students, staff and guests got to hear Mr. Joel Vander Molen share about making sure to tell others about Jesus. Our students shared their Bible memory verses and worshipped together. After chapel, students received a treat and separated into multi-grade chapel groups to reflect on the message that they heard.

Thankful for a wonderful afternoon of soccer with our friends from Sully Christian School! It was a great time of fellowship and fun for all. Thank you to everyone who came out and supported both schools!
