Jesus is King!

Jesus is King!

Grace Preschool had a special guest speaker during their last chapel before Christmas.  Head of School, Matt Cooper, came to talk to the students about the true meaning of Christmas, the baby Jesus being born, and why we celebrate His birthday. When he asked the children whose birthday we celebrate at Christmas, they all shouted, "JESUS!" Everyone has a birthday, even Mr. Cooper has a birthday, but everyone all over the world does not stop to celebrate Mr. Cooper's birthday. So why do we make such a big deal of Jesus' birthday? Mr. Cooper told them that the reason is because Jesus isn't just any person; Jesus is KING! That is why we all stop at Christmas time and celebrate the birthday of Jesus. Donning a crown, Mr. Cooper explained that Jesus was a different kind of baby and being the King is why His birthday was so significant. He was not just a baby boy, He was the long expected King which the prophets had written about hundreds of years before His birth. We hope that you all have a wonderful Christmas reflecting on its true meaning and we pray the reality of who Jesus is causes your heart to rejoice and worship the one true King.

Teacher Stephanie Martinez shares The Big Book Project which was assigned to the 8th Grade Honors English class as a culminating project for their independent reading book. The students used a poster board to create a "big book" that displays a re-designed cover, character sketches, a detailed plot diagram, a literary analysis of theme, and a book review. The Grace 8th graders displayed impressive results and creativity on this project and had fun doing it! One student, Norah, said, "This project let us use our imagination and creativity," and another student, Candace, said, "The Big Book Project was fun and made my mind wrap around all the parts of my book." Congratulations to the 8th grade honors english class and to Mrs. Martinez for a successful project. We are so proud of you!

Students Serving their neighbors

Before the Christmas break, student leaders at the Jr/Sr High, delivered hand-made Christmas cards and gifts to all our neighbors surrounding the campus. Led by Dean of Student Life, Matt Simms, several students jumped in the car or walked the sidewalks to spread a message of thanks and gratitude to our neighbors for their kindness and support of our school. Mr. Simms said, "It can't always be easy being the neighbor of a busy, bustling campus," but we always want to be mindful of our neighbors and be as friendly as we can be. We are grateful for the example of servant heartedness that Mr. Simms demonstrates to our student body.
