As the school year comes to a close, our amazing Early Ed team wrapped things up with a little fun while still getting business done! It appears they took part in an “Anything But a Cup” challenge at their meeting which required their drinks to be in something other than a traditional cup or water bottle! 😂 How creative!
More than anything, we are incredibly thankful for this team and the way they faithfully shepherd and point our Pre-K3 through Kindergarten students to Christ year after year. Their commitment to biblically immersive teaching and the genuine love they pour into these children make an eternal impact.
We are so grateful for all they do! ❤️
Today's annual elementary Year-End Celebration Chapel was the finale for first through sixth grades.
Thank you to all the family, friends, etc. that show up to support and celebrate all of the students’ & teachers’ hard work throughout the 2025-2026 school year!
As this school year comes to a close, we’re reminded every mural, scripture verse, and piece of student artwork in our halls reflects a deeper truth — we are cultivating hearts and minds for God’s glory.
These beautiful elementary displays are more than decoration; they represent faith integrated into learning. They remind our students that God is present in art, academics, relationships, and everyday moments.
We are grateful for our teachers who work hard to create an environment where faith and learning beautifully come together.
Our fifth graders rolled up their sleeves and brought learning to life with their Food Truck Project yesterday! 🌮🚚🍔
Students developed their own food truck businesses from the ground up — creating business names, themes, slogans, logos, menus, and advertisements before constructing their food trucks. They also used math skills to calculate area and perimeter for different truck components and practiced real-world financial literacy by totaling orders and making change.
Sixth grade students stopped by to place orders, making the experience even more authentic and exciting for our young entrepreneurs. This hands-on STEM and math project challenged students to think creatively, collaborate, and apply real-world skills in meaningful ways.
The best part? Watching students confidently create, problem-solve, and connect their learning to the world! Great job students! We see your hard work, creativity, and teamwork!
