Welcome to December!

Each month there are a lot of activities going on at MCS, but this month we are squeezing the activities into fewer days. Next week, the Parent Teacher Congress (PTC) will be hosting the Christmas Shop to give our students an opportunity to purchase affordable Christmas gifts. Further information about this is being sent home with the children.

All of students involved in music, choir, and band have been busy practicing for their upcoming concerts. All of the band students along with the secondary choir students will have their concert on Thursday, December 9 at Hope Community Baptist Church. The early education center children as well as the elementary music and choir students will have their concert on Thursday, December 16 at Cornerstone Baptist Church.

December is a favorite month for many people, but it is also a very busy month. It seems that there are extra activities with school, church, and family. My prayer during this Christmas season is that we do not lose sight of the true meaning of this season.

Happy Thanksgiving

Psalm 100

"Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.

Worship the Lord with gladness;

come before him with joyful songs.

Know that the Lord is God.

It is he who made us, and we are his;

we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving

and his courts with praise;

give thanks to him and praise his name.

For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;

his faithfulness continues through all generations."

I am so thankful that God is allowing me to be involved in His work at Macomb Christian Schools. I pray that all of you have a blessed Thanksgiving!

November

This past Wednesday, our elementary students were invited to be apart of the Korean War Memorial Ceremony at Warren City Hall. The students led the audience in saying the Pledge of Allegiance and singing, "God Bless America."

On Friday and Saturday, the class of 2011 and other students performed Goldilocks on Trial. The students have been working hard to get ready for the performances and they all did a great job. This Wednesday, November 17, the seniors will be hosting another pancake breakfast. All the proceeds from both events help to offset the cost of the senior trip.

It seems like the students and teachers are both looking forward to a few days off school next week to celebrate Thanksgiving. I pray that it will be a blessed time for you and your family to reflect on all that we have to be thankful for.

Welcome to November!

I can hardly believe that October is over and it is November already. This school year is going by so fast. The first quarter is finished, the fall sports team have finished their seasons, and the winter sports teams are busy practicing.

There were a lot of activities in October. I would like to thank all of you for coming to parent teacher conferences. The teachers enjoyed having an opportunity to talk with each of you. The National Honor Society inducted its new members on October 26. Julia Herlein, Caleb Swiatek, and Hannah Wasil are the newest members of our NHS chapter.

November is going to be another busy month. Our next Munchy Monday is this coming Monday at Pei Wei. On November 12-13, the seniors will be performing Goldilocks on Trial. This is always a fun event and all proceeds go to help offset the cost of the senior trip. I am sure that the students (and teachers) are looking forward to Thanksgiving break. There will be no school November 24-26.

One of my favorite verses for this time of year is Psalm 107:1, “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever."
