It is hard to believe that Christmas time is here again. There has been a lot of excitement around the school these past few weeks as the students have finished up the first semester. I trust that the break from school will be a time of refreshment for all of you.
I want to thank all of your for your prayers and support. All of the faculty and staff greatly appreciate all that you do for us. A special “thank you” to those of you who purchased items for the school from our Amazon wish list. The teachers who received the items from their wish list were very excited. I would also like to thank those of you who have been making donations to help the Early Education Center raise money for a new playground.
There are a few important dates coming up that I wanted to make you aware of. On Monday, January 11, 2010, at 7:00 PM, there will be another prayer/praise celebration at the school. So many of us enjoyed this event over the summer that we thought it would be great to do it again. Our school has much to be grateful for this year! On Thursday, February 4, 2010, at 7:00 PM, there will be an all-school meeting. Randy Speck, Kent Darcie, and I will speak and be available for questions. It will be an important opportunity for all of you to hear the vision that we have for Macomb Christian. We are all busy making plans for next year and the next few years, and we want to share those with you. You will also be able to pick up re-enrollment information and a basic, tentative 2010-2011 school calendar. These will be two very exciting nights, and we want everyone to be a part of them
I pray that you all have a blessed Christmas!

Finishing Strong
This past week was a very busy week at MCS. The elementary students had a great time at the Christmas Shop. Each student had an opportunity to go down to the library and shop for Christmas presents. I saw many students walking back to class with their arms full of shopping bags. Many thanks to all of the parents that volunteered their time to help make the Christmas Shop such a success!
The seniors also had another pancake breakfast on Wednesday. The seniors were up bright and early to cook all of the pancakes and sausage. Many people came out to support them as they are trying to raise money to help with the cost of their senior trip.
The secondary students are busy finishing up the first semester. The high school students will start taking exams on Tuesday. Friday after school I saw many students rushing around turning in their assignments and extra credit that were due. The elementary students are busy getting ready for their Christmas concert on Tuesday. I love walking by the music room this time of year and hearing all of the Christmas songs.

December Is Here!
December has arrived along with some colder weather. I hope that all of you enjoyed the Thanksgiving holiday last week. It is truly a blessing to talk with people at MCS and to hear all the things they are thankful for.
This past Thursday evening we held our first Christmas concert for this year. All of the band students and the secondary choir students performed the songs they had been working on. Each of the groups performed a few songs that reminded us all of what the Christmas season is truly about. They also had some fun as well. I really enjoyed listening to all of the performances. It was evident that the students and Miss Hafemeister had worked hard in preparation for the concert.
The students and teachers are all hard at work finishing up the first semester. The elementary students will have the opportunity to do some Christmas shopping this week at school.
