UPDATE: Elementary Blossoming the Cross, March 24 instead of March 25
Due to the potential for severe weather, the elementary students will now be blossoming the cross for Easter throughout the day on Wednesday, March 24. 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 now be raised on Thursday, March 25. 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.
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

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.
