High School - 3/19 & 3/26

Dear High School Families,

As we approach the end of third quarter, we want to remind families that the quarter concludes this Friday, March 30. For high school students, this will be a progress report rather than a report card, providing an update on current grades and academic progress. Progress reports will be sent out on Wednesday, April 2.

We are grateful for the hard work our students have shown throughout this quarter and look forward to a strong finish. As spring break begins, we hope your family is able to enjoy a restful and refreshing time together!

Sarah Rothstein, Ed.D.

High School Principal

This week in chapel, our beloved PE teacher, Mr. Bill Campbell, had the courage to share a part of his testimony to the Middle School and High School students.

Our theme this year in chapel is running back to the Father, our God. Our student-led chapel committee believed it was important that we have student and staff testimonies shared in chapel as we endeavor to come back to Jesus. Testimonies show us God's faithfulness and the restorative power of the gospel.

Mr. Campbell is a walking testimony. He spoke on the danger of alcoholism, how God saved his life, and the miracles that took place in his body despite the expectations of the medical field. I can personally testify the impact of his willingness to share his life as many students considered it one of the best chapels. There has been a theme in chapel this year. Students are eager to hear about the power of Jesus, and we are thankful for teachers like Mr. Campbell who boldly proclaim Christ's supremacy.

Seek the King, He is so worth it.

Mr. Agrimson
