This past week was spirit week at school, and I think that all of the students enjoyed it. It was great to see how many students participated each day by dressing up according to the theme. On Friday, almost everyone was wearing red, white, or blue. The elementary students brought their noise makers to the pep rally to add to the excitement. It was great to see so many of you come out to the homecoming game on Friday night wearing your red shirts.
Friday was also the day of the ACSI Spelling Bee. We had 8 students represent Macomb Christian while competing against other ACSI schools. Luke Soave in first grade won first place in his grade level. Hannah Florendo (3rd grade) and Patrick Gibbs (6th grade) each won second place in their respective grade levels. All of our students did a great job.
Thank you to all of you who brought in money that we will be sending to Haiti. We are still working on counting all of the change that was brought in, but we were overwhelmed by how much we had. Don't forget about the All School Meeting this Thursday, February 4th at 7:00 pm. We are busy planning for next year and are excited to share some of those plans with you!

Getting Ready for Spirit Week!
This past week was a short week for the students, and it certainly seemed to fly by. The teachers worked hard on Monday getting some projects done. I hope the students enjoyed their extra day off school. The elementary students seemed to enjoy going outside for recess this week.
On Friday and Saturday the secondary students worked hard decorating their rooms for spirit week. There is a lot of excitement around the school for the fun activities planned for this week. I hope to see many of you at the Homecoming game on Friday night. Don't forget to wear your red shirts!
Please mark your calendars for the All School Meeting on Thursday, February 4 at 7:00 pm. This will be an exciting time for you to hear about some exciting plans for MCS. Re-enrollment information for 2010-2011 will also be available for you to pick up that night.

Establishing A Routine
We just finished our second week of school in 2010. This week I noticed that many students were finally easing back into the routine of coming to school. It's a good thing too since this past week was a busy week.
Monday night we had a wonderful time of praising God for His many blessings and also praying for our school. It was incredible to hear people share stories of how they have seen God working in their lives recently. I feel blessed to work in a school where God is the focus of everything that we do.
Tuesday we held our school spelling bee. The winners and runners-up from 5th-8th grade competed against one another. Jacob Patterson won the spelling bee, and Hadiya Knight was the runner-up for the school. Tuesday night was another installment of "Tasty Tuesday" at Del Taco. Many of you have commented how busy it was when you stopped by. I am sure the junior high students are grateful for all who came out to help them raise money for their trip to camp.
Friday night all of the senior athletes were honored between the basketball games. Once all the athletes were out on the court with their parents, I was surprised to see that most of the students in the senior class play at least one sport. It was also great to see so many people come to show their support to the teams. I hope that all of the students enjoy their long weekend!

Welcome to 2010!
Happy New Year! I am so excited to be starting a new year even though it is in the middle of our school year. It was great to see everyone back at Macomb Christian ready to start the 2nd semester. I think it took all of us a few days to get back into our routine of getting up early, but hopefully, we are all ready to start another week.
Last week was a fairly quiet week. All of the basketball teams had their first home games of the season. Looking ahead to this week, we have the Prayer and Praise Celebration on Monday night at 7:00 pm. Please join us as we thank God for all He has done for us. Tuesday night is our next "Tasty Tuesday" event. The junior high students are hosting this event at Del Taco on Hoover.
Many of you have been asking how you can help Macomb Christian, and I have a few suggestions. Pray! Pray that we will continually seek God's direction and what He has planned for MCS. We have all seen the power of prayer, and I don't want us to ever stop praying. Secondly, Macomb Christian has a wish list on Amazon.com. The wish list has general, everyday items as well as some items that specific teachers have requested.
Thank you to all of you for your help and support. I am praying that 2010 will be a year where God uses Macomb Christian Schools to reach others for His kingdom.
