Community Service Project Day

This past Wednesday all of the 7th through 12th grade students were out in different communities helping out. The junior high students went to Central Detroit Christian where they were busy breaking up cement, lifting heavy boxes and bricks, and painting. The freshmen went to Grace Centers of Hope where they helped to prepare and serve lunch. The sophomores stayed in Warren cleaning up Martin Road and the school property. The juniors went to God's Helping Hand in Rochester Hills where they were busy sorting through clothes that had been donated. The seniors helped Habitat for Humanity as they are preparing their new warehouse.

Throughout the day, I went around to all of the various sites. I was so excited to see our students helping others. It was incredible to see how much fun our students were having. I had one student tell me that they want to do it again in the spring. God blessed us with a beautiful day especially for the students who spent most of the day outside. I was so proud of our students for being willing to help out and do whatever was needed. As I stopped by the places, I had many people tell me how much help our students had been. A big THANK YOU to all of you who helped drive and chaperone the students.

Gearing Up For A Busy Week

I hope that the students enjoyed their extra time off of school Thursday and Friday, and they are ready to come back for a busy week. It was great to see so many of you at school on Thursday and Friday for parent teacher conferences and the book fair. Thanks to all of you who volunteered your time at the book fair and the bake sale.

I am very excited for this coming week. On Wednesday, our secondary students will be out in the community doing different service projects. As Christians, we are called to help each other, so I am excited for our students to have an opportunity to give back. I can't wait to hear the stories from our students about their different experiences. Please be in prayer for this event.

It is hard to believe that this is the last week of October. As I look outside, it is beautiful to see all of the different colors. Please pray that God will continue to guide and direct MCS. I feel privileged to be apart of this ministry, and I greatly appreciate all of your support!

End of the First Quarter

I find it hard to believe that we have reached the end of the first quarter. This school year is going by so fast. I do love this time of year though! I love driving around and seeing the leaves on the trees changing color. It is a wonderful reminder of our incredible Creator that we serve.


Last Tuesday was another Tasty Tuesday at American Pie. All proceeds are going to help with the high school year-end trip. The elementary students are holding a contest with Box Tops for Education. Each box top that is brought in gives 10 cents back to the school so keep sending them in. There are a lot of updates and information given on the school website so make it a habit to check it out.


This Thursday and Friday we will be having parent teacher conferences. Elementary conferences are scheduled with the teacher. All of the secondary teachers will be available in the gym from 1:30-4:45 p.m. and 6:00-8:00 p.m. on Thursday and then again from 9:00-11:30 a.m. on Friday. I hope to see you all there!

Another Busy Week at MCS

This past week Ms. Beck and I attended the ACSI convention in South Bend, Indiana. It was a great opportunity for us to be encouraged and challenged. We were able to meet people from many Christian schools and share ideas. It was incredible to be with over 1200 other people who are also working hard to make their Christian schools the places that God wants them to be.



On Wednesday the seniors hosted their first pancake breakfast of the school year. Many of you turned out to help support the seniors as they raise money for their trip. There will be more pancake breakfasts throughout the school year so be watching for those dates.



This Tuesday will be another "Tasty Tuesday." The high school student council will be hosting a fundraiser at American Pie at 12 Mile and Hoover. The money raised will be used to help off set the cost of the year end trip for the high school students. I hope to see many of you there!

October Is Here!

Wow! It is hard to believe that September is finished. This school year seems to be flying by. I had a great lunch on Wednesday with the 16 elementary students who completed the summer reading challenge. These students read 6 books over the summer from a variety of genres and wrote a short summary of each book. We had a great time on Wednesday eating lunch together and talking about books.

The varsity soccer team played an exciting game on Monday. Despite the cold, windy weather, they were able to win the game. The varsity volleyball team also had a victory on Thursday night. It was a great week for sports at MCS.

I hope that all of the students enjoyed their extra day off on Friday. The teachers spent the day learning from a curriculum taught by Jeff Myers. It was a very interesting seminar that I think many of them found beneficial. Hopefully, the students are all ready to come back to school!
