May Is Almost Done!

Last week was probably one of the quietest weeks around school since school started back in August. The seniors were in Florida all week for their senior trip. The junior high students went to camp from Wednesday to Friday. And the 9th-11th grade students went to Cedar Point and the Toledo Zoo on Thursday and Friday. All of the students and chaperones seemed to have a great time on their trips. The weather was beautiful, so all the activities could continue as planned.

The elementary students in Mrs. Dubois' class were very busy on Monday and Tuesday. Their businesses were open, so many parents and fellow students came to see what they had for sale. Many "barks" were spent there on some interesting items. I thought it was great to see the variety of items that the students were selling. This project provides a fun way for the students to learn a little bit about how a business works.

Please be praying for our high school students. They will be taking their final exams Wednesday through Friday this week. Please also be in prayer for Mrs. Kimberly Scott. She had hip replacement surgery on Friday. The surgery went well, so please pray for her recovery.

Three Weeks Left!

This week was the last full week of school for the seniors. They were very excited on Monday when they realized it was their last "Monday of high school." Mr. and Mrs. Whiteaker will be chaperoning the seniors on their trip to Florida this week. Please be in prayer that everyone would be safe and have a great time as well.

When I arrived at school on Wednesday and Thursday, it was strange to see so many people already at school. The junior high and high school students signed up for their J-Term classes before school, and some of the students arrived at school very early in order to make sure they could sign up for their first choice in classes. I am excited to see the variety of classes we have to offer this year. J-Term will take place from June 7-11, so I will write more about it later.

The elementary/junior high sports banquet was held on Thursday evening. It was a a special evening to celebrate the hard work and dedication of those involved. The junior high softball and baseball teams had their last games of the season on Friday after school. Both teams played hard and it was easy to see how much they had improved over the season. I am looking forward to watching them again next spring.

Another Week At MCS

The kindergarten students went on a field trip to the farm on Tuesday. Despite the rainy weather, the students had a fun time seeing all of the different animals.

The 5th and 6th grade students have been working on research reports for several months. On Thursday afternoon, they invited their parents and the other elementary students to come see what they had learned.

Everyone had a great time at the Walkathon on Friday. It was a beautiful day to spend at the park. I was impressed with how many miles some of the students walked. After a picnic lunch, many of the students still had time to enjoy the playground until it was time to go back to school.

This week is the last full week of school for the seniors. They have been counting down to this and are very excited to be almost done.

A Very Busy Week

Wow! I cannot believe how many things we had going on at Macomb Christian this week. It was a very busy week, but it was also another great week. On Wednesday, all of the elementary students participated in ACES (All Children Exercising Simultaneously). From 10:00-10:15, the students went outside to run/walk around the school. It was a beautiful day to be outside.

On Thursday, our students participated in 2 special events in honor of the National Day of Prayer. The Spiritual Life Committee planned a special chapel for all of the secondary students. The students led the entire chapel including devotionals, songs, and prayer time. The elementary students participated in the city of Warren National Day of Prayer event by singing a song there.

Our 10th annual Celebration of the Arts was held on Friday. This is probably one of my favorite events throughout the school year. I love seeing all of the artwork hanging up around the school. I also enjoy seeing each of the different groups perform the songs that they have spent so much time working on. Miss Hafemeister and Mrs. Tucker spent many hours getting ready for this event, and I greatly appreciate all of their effort. It was a wonderful night that everyone seemed to enjoy.

Welcome to May!

I can hardly believe that today is the first day of May. These next few weeks of school are going to go by so quickly especially with all of the activities that will be taking place. The drama department presented their play this weekend. The students have been working hard for several months and they did a great job.

On Friday, twenty-eight of our secondary students participated in the Oakland Christian School Math Competition. The students spent several hours taking math tests trying to get the best score. Our Trigonometry students won first place. Their trophy is in the front office. Two students, Evan Yahr and Matt Hurst, also received ribbons for their individual scores.

As I look ahead to next week, it will be a very busy week at Macomb Christian. We will be having another open house on Monday from 6:00-8:00 pm. Please invite people that you know to come look around the school; feel free to come show them around as well.

Mrs. Tucker and Miss Hafemeister will be very busy this week getting ready for Celebration of the Arts (COTA) on Friday. Please pray for them as they have many details to finalize this week. I hope to see you all there!
