This week our seniors had the opportunity to do a service project. The senior class went to a local church to help with a program that brings public school students to the church to hear the gospel message. Our seniors went on Thursday when there were about 300 public school students in attendance. The seniors were able to interact with these kids and lead small group discussions. I hope that this is just the beginning. I would love to see our students get more involved in the community.
Mrs. Dubois' class finished reading The Boxcar Children with a special day this week. They enjoyed a special lunch on Wednesday. The students also made special projects that are on display in the library.
It is hard to believe that this week will be the end of September. I am so grateful that God has allowed MCS to be open for this school year. I love walking around the school and seeing all of the students busy working. I love walking into the library and seeing the elementary students take their AR quizzes. I love walking down the hallway and seeing the incredible artwork that our students have created. It is truly a blessing to be at MCS!

Another Great Week
Last week was another great week at MCS. We had our first fire drill of the school year on Wednesday morning. It was a beautiful day, so it seemed like the perfect day for a fire drill. I think that it might take all of us some time to remember what we are supposed to do during a fire drill.
On Thursday, I attended an ACSI (Association of Christian Schools International) district meeting. Sam Barfell, our regional director, came to Michigan to meet with the administrators from all of the Christian schools in Michigan. It was a great opportunity for me to meet other Christian school leaders and to share ideas. I was also able to learn about updates from ACSI and the services that they offer.
Thank you to those of you that have been helping out with the preschool playground. We have had volunteers digging out the grass underneath the swings so that wood chips can be placed there. I am grateful to those of you who are willing to help out wherever we need it. You help to make MCS such a great place!

Getting Ready for Another Week
We are finally approaching our first full week of school. After having three short weeks, it seems like everyone is getting into the routine of being back at school after having time off for the summer. I have really been enjoying the beautiful weather that we have had the past couple of weekends. It has been great to get outside and enjoy God's beautiful creation.
Friday was a busy day at school. We started the day with chapel. The elementary students enjoyed listening to Mr. Orner, and the secondary students were challenged by Mr. Speck. The first and second grade students had a fun afternoon making creation cupcakes. They even made one for me!
Many of you are familiar with Jeremiah 29:11. It is probably one of my favorite verses. It is very reassuring to me knowing that God has a plan for me. I was reading it recently and noticed that verses 12 and 13 are also very powerful. They say, "Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." My prayer for the students and families of MCS is that all of us would be earnestly seeking God. I want us to remember all that God has done for our school. We should never stop praying.

Back To School
It is hard to believe that we are in our third week of school already. This school year is off to a great start! We had a great turn out at Big Boy last night. Thanks to all of you who came out to support our 4th -6th grade students as they were earning money for their year-end trip.
I continue to be amazed at the amount of prayer support I have. It is an incredible encouragment to me knowing that I am being prayed for and supported by so many of you. I truly appreciate it.
