Pink Shirts & Kindness Day

Pink Shirts & Kindness Day

Share some kindness with us on February 28th; k-12 students grab your pink shirt as we focus on and celebrate friendship and connection. 

Ephesians 4:32

Tanzania Bottle Drive

Tanzania Bottle Drive

Do you have a stash of empty bottles at your back door? We've got the perfect solution! Please bring them to the school's covered area as part of our ongoing Tanzania Bottle Drive! If you have the bags that students have distributed, they can be dropped off directly at the bottle depot or in the covered area in front of the school for the grade 12 Tanzania Missions students to manage. If you need another bag, be sure to let us know!

Your support in making our school more sustainable is greatly appreciated!

Hey parents! Here's something to do today...

A note from Mrs.Penner

I ask my children about their daily highs and lows.  I want them to reflect on their day, considering where they could have made different choices (better choices) and for them to recognize and speak gratitude over the good things that God is doing in their lives.  I have recently been privileged to dig into the scriptures with the grade 3 students to learn what God says about friendship.  Reading God’s word together and seeing the students help each other learn how to navigate the Bible was the highlight of my week!  I encourage you to take a moment now to consider what you are grateful for today, thank God and share with your family. 

"Being joyful isn't what makes you grateful. Being grateful is what makes you joyful."- Ann Voskamp
