Art Missions at Work
Back in the fall of 2019, the Trinity High School Art students began to partner with an underprivileged school in Lanett, Alabama, painting murals in the hallways to inspire and encourage these students to desire to come to school.
This year, we are continuing our mural efforts at Five Points School, and we wanted to give credit to these amazing young artists who gave of their time and talents during winter break to bless others. Please enjoy these "work in progress" images from our time together.
Chapel
Last week as we celebrated God together, we were privileged by the challenge set down by KC Lorow in his stimulating chapel message called “The Journey of the Believer” taken from the Damascus Road encounter of Saul/Paul (Acts 9; Cf. also Acts 22 and 26). KC utilized the sin to salvation story of Saul/Paul to challenge all of us to embrace that same remarkable grace story. If the chief persecutor of the early church could become the foremost preacher in the world, then anything is possible for any of us as we encounter the ferociously holy and graciously good God. Imagine, the one that initially sought to kill christians in Palestine has now, once redeemed, written ½ of the New Testament and evangelized the whole world. That can only be explained by a God encounter and a grace offer. What will you do with your God encounter and grace offer?
Black History Month
Our History classes have just completed weeks three of Black History Month. Over the course of the week the classes were specifically highlighting Black Americans whose innovations have impacted American life in some way. Here are some more details from each level of high school history:
In Economics, students took time to study the life of Black economist, author, researcher, and social theorist Thomas Sowell. He has written over 30 books and helped shape our understanding of systematic racism, government intervention into our daily life, the Einstein Syndrome (the phenomenon of late-talking children), private vs public education, and how free-market systems can benefit peoples of all races and cultures.
PreAP World History students have been conducting research on black leaders and innovators throughout history in preparation of completing class presentations. Some of the men and women chosen by our students have included but are not limited to Martin Luther King, Jr., Harriet Tubman, Loving v. Virginia, Maya Angelou, Nelson Mandela, and Jackie Robinson.
AP Government's focus has been on Civil Rights, which includes A. Philip Randolph and the Brotherhood of the Sleeping Car Porters, W.E.B. du Bois and Thurgood Marshall with the NAACP, Martin Luther King, JR and the SCLC, Malcom X, March on Washington, Bus Boycott, Rosa Parks, and more. We read the I Have a Dream speech in part and the entire Letter from a Birmingham Jail.
AP US History continues to focus on the late 1800s, including reading Booker T. Washington's 1895 Atlanta Exposition Speech and W.E.B. du Bois and the NAACP, and George Washington Carver's contributions to science.
Week Four: March 1-5 - Highlight Black Americans whose ideas have been Transformational to an aspect of our society.
**Because of winter break, we will continue into the first week of March
