Happy World Down Syndrome Day!
Today we are celebrating WDSD across all our campuses. We took this day to emphasize how we are all “more alike than different.” Students will be coming home with a small gift/bookmarker to help them remember this day. Please take a few moments and review the information on the back of the bookmark with your child/students. Students also had the opportunity to view this video of short interviews with Rock Creek students highlighting how we are alike. Thanks for taking time to continue to instill in our students that we are all created in the image of a Mighty God!
In His hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind. Job 12:10
Elementary Blossoming the Cross, March 25
The elementary students will be blossoming the cross for Easter throughout the day on Thursday, March 25. Parents, please send each of your children to school with one flower stem to add to the cross on this day. The flower can be live or artificial. The cross will be raised on Friday, March 26. Unfortunately, we will not have our traditional chapel or be able to welcome guests on campus for this. All classes will be spending time at the cross for a special devotion time prepared by Dr. Shell.

CAL DramatiCALs Present Cinderella, March 12-13 and 19-20
This Broadway adaptation of the classic musical maintains the unforgettable score of Rodgers and Hammerstein but this version of the rags-to-royalty story includes new characters and plot twists.
Cinderella doesn’t hide in her “own little corner” for long and she isn’t longing for a prince to rescue her, charming or not. In a kingdom facing an uncertain future, its new leader seeks first to find himself. And even evil stepsisters may be full of surprises.
However, the heart of the famous fairy tale remains intact so nothing is “impossible,” but it may require more than a glass slipper and the wave of a wand to make things right for “a lovely night.”
When one stops long enough to listen to the wisdom of others, the truth of Romans 12:18 becomes clear: “do all that you can to live in peace with everyone” when wishing for a happily ever after.

Celebrating Black History Month – Henry (Hank) Louis Aaron Jr.
Henry (Hank) Louis Aaron Jr., was born in Mobile, Alabama in 1934. Aaron began his professional baseball career in 1952 in the Negro League. He joined the Milwaukee Braves of the major league in 1954, eight years after Jackie Robinson had integrated baseball. Aaron was the last Negro League player to compete in the majors. He quickly established himself as an important player for the Braves and won the National League batting title in 1956. The following season, he took home the league’s MVP award and helped the Braves beat Mickey Mantle and the heavily favored New York Yankees in the World Series. In 1959, Aaron won his second league batting title. Aaron is best known for breaking Babe Ruth’s record of 714 career home runs, which he established in 1935. On April 8, 1974, in front of a crowd of over 50,000 fans at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium, Aaron hit his 715th career home run in the fourth inning of a game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Sadly, in the months leading up to the new record, Aaron received piles of racist hate mail and death threats from those unhappy about seeing the Babe’s record broken, especially by a Black man. Aaron, who played for the Milwaukee Braves from 1954 to 1965 and the Atlanta Braves from 1966 to 1974, spent the final two seasons of his 23 years in the majors with the Milwaukee Brewers. When he retired in 1976, he left the game with 755 career home runs, a record that stood until August 7, 2007, when it was broken by Barry Bonds of the San Francisco Giants. Aaron still holds the records for most career runs batted in (2,297), most career total bases (6,856) and most career extra base hits (1,477). After retiring as a player, Aaron became one of baseball’s first Black executives, with the Atlanta Braves. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1982. Aaron died on January 22, 2021 at age 86.
