Journey to Holland
Journey with us to the early 1940’s in Holland. You’ve just been invaded and taken over by Germany. Little by little, your basic rights, privacy, and pride are taken away. Eighth grade has begun this difficult yet inspiring road with the famous Ten Boom family.

U.S. vs Japan
How do U.S. junior high students compare with those in Japan? How do they spend their time compared to us? Using statistical data, eighth grade students made conclusions about each culture’s emphasis (or lack thereof) on studying, sports, entertainment, and rest.

D. L. Moody
D. L. Moody: an inspiration to us all. Students read a piece about his early life when he was running away from the Word of God. Don’t we all sometimes? But what an encouragement, to see God chase this boy and how He chases us because of His great love! Praise Him!

Word Pictures
How do you make something come alive? How do you create a picture in someone’s mind? Use imagery and figurative language! This month, seventh graders designed their own product and magazine advertisement using as many methods as they could to capture their audience.

Life on the Moon
How might living on the moon differ from living on earth? In the futuristic sci-fi story Good-bye to the Moon, students entered the life of Kepler Masterman, a fifteen year old born on the moon.

Love
What is real love? What qualities would a friend show if he or she was really expressing love? What does 1 Corinthians 13 say about love? Sixth graders practiced their paragraph writing to express their opinion of what true love is.

Chronicles of Narnia-The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
Our 5th through 12th grade students had the privalege of viewing the new movie, “The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.” We were able to secure the entire theater exclusively for our students. We had a great time with snacks and viewing this new movie based upon C.S. Lewis’s books, “Chronicles of Narnia.” After we returned, students discussed the Christian Symbolism represented in the Bible! It was awesome!
Step Up Your Faith
January 3rd- January 7th
“Step up You Faith,” the theme for the week, encouraged students to go a step further in their walk with God. Middle School and High School students were challenged with speakers each day to take their faith to the next level. Our Elementary students looked at a different bible stories each day as well as completed crafts to encourage them to “step up their faith.” Our memory verse for the week was Luke 17:5-6
Our Hero
Who is your hero? This was the theme of the high school production. Students did a tremendous job of illustrating through song, dance, drama, music videos, spoken word, flags and worship who their hero is, Jesus Christ. They also took this theme a step further by looking at themselves and the important role they have of sharing the gospel to others by being the light of the world in the midst of darkness. These students showed what it was to be a hero to those that don’t know Christ. They displayed a lit cross to the song “Go Light Your World,” signifying the importance of who Christ is in their lives. Our Hero, Jesus Christ, is the true reason for the season.

Counting Calories
With obesity on the rise within the United States, more and more people are learning to count the amount of calories that they consume. Students undertook a project where for one week they needed to count the amount of calories that they consumed. This included breakfast, lunch, dinner and any other snakes that they ate during the day. Students then compared their total daily calorie intake to that of the average. If the amount of calories fell below or above the average, students needed to examine that day and find out what events lead to this difference. This project gave students a better understand as to what they put in their bodies and for some it should them that they need to change their eating habits and eat healthier food.
