The Principal’s Piece: A Note From Mrs. Randolph

We have truly finished the school year strong and have loved celebrating these final days together as a school family. From joyful traditions and special celebrations to meaningful milestone moments, these last weeks have been filled with so much fun, laughter, and community.

A special congratulations to our Kindergarten graduates! Watching them march into the stadium and celebrate this important milestone was such a memorable moment. We are so proud of each of these students and thankful for the families who celebrated alongside them. The flyover featuring 14 planes made the evening even more unforgettable and added so much excitement to the celebration!

Our end-of-year programs and award ceremonies were also a wonderful time to recognize student growth and accomplishments. One of the most meaningful parts of these celebrations is presenting each student with a Christian Character Award. These awards allow teachers to intentionally speak life into their students and recognize the unique Christlike characteristics they have identified and nurtured throughout the year.

We also loved ending the year with some of our favorite traditions, including Water Bash Day, Bouncy Bash Day, scooter days, glow parties, pajama movie days, and other class celebrations that created lasting memories for our students. Seeing the excitement, joy, and friendships shared during these events reminds us what a special school family we have.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support throughout this school year. It has been a blessing to walk alongside your family, and we are grateful for the opportunity to love, teach, and invest in your children each day.

We hope your family has a safe, restful, and wonderful summer!

  • Required half-day dismissal day (no after school option): Friday, May 22

Check out the specific details below:

Dismissal times will be staggered once again, just like our December half-days. This helped to alleviate traffic overall and allowed us to end our dismissal time earlier. Please review the times below. 

NOTE: The Main Office will close at 11:45am and will not reopen until the dismissal line ends. 

  • 12:00pm - Elementary (1st-5th) will dismiss. Only students in 1st-5th grade will be dismissed at this time. If you have a middle school student to pick up as well, please see information below. 

  • 12:30pm - Middle School (6th-8th) will dismiss. Students in 6th-8th grade along with siblings in 1st-5th grade will be dismissed at this time. If you only have Elementary students to pick up, please plan to do so prior to 12:30pm. 

Note: If you attempt to go through the car line to pick up a middle school student prior to 12:30, you may be required to re-enter the car line as middle school students will not be available for pickup until after 12:30pm. 

For the optional half days on Wednesday and Thursday, students may remain at school free of charge until 3:30pm. After 3:30pm, regular after school rates will apply. If you need to pick up your child after the half-day dismissal ends, you may do so by either:

Chapel Moments

The sweetest final week of chapel was all about praise and worship!

Our early learning chapel was led by each of our kindergarten classes. Our students sang, danced, and jumped for joy as they praised the Lord to some of their favorite worship songs. It was such a special time watching their excitement and love for Jesus shine so brightly.

In our 1st–3rd grade chapel, our third grade worship leaders guided students in a joyful time of praise and worship. We also took time to thank our third graders for being wonderful examples of leadership, character, and strong study habits to our Lower School students. As their time in Lower School comes to an end and they prepare to move into Upper Elementary, we prayed a special prayer over them for the journey ahead.

Elementary Clubs

Our students love to participate in our elementary clubs. These clubs are designed for 1st-5th grade students and meet after school dismisses.

Chapel Moments

Mrs. Randolph led the Early Learning Chapel this week where students studied the story of Esther. We learned about her bravery and how God calls us to be brave. We do not have to fear because we can trust God even when we are afraid.

Our main focus was: “I can be brave and make a difference.”

Chapel Moments

It was an engaging and meaningful week in chapel as Mrs. Duncan wrapped up our Camp Wilderness series. In last week's lesson, through the story of Moses striking the rock in Kadesh (and with a little help from a toy grenade and bottle of Coke), students learned that anger can be a normal feeling. However, what we do with that anger makes all the difference. When we take our anger to God, we can pause, pray, and let the Holy Spirit guide our words and actions!

Power Verse: “Don't sin by letting anger control you." -Psalm 4:4a

The Principal’s Piece: A Note From Mrs. Randolph

As we are looking forward to a fun and festive time with our K4 students and families this week as we celebrate the end of the year with a special 1950s themed event! K4 Families, this is a reminder to refer to your classroom teacher for your assigned time and event details. We can’t wait to celebrate our K4 students and the fantastic year they have had!

It’s always a joy to see the special moments happening across our Lower School, and this is just one of the many ways we are celebrating our students as the school year comes to a close.

Reminder: Final Week of Our Spring Food Drive!

This is the last week of our Spring Food Drive for 1st–3rd grades! Our students have been working hard to serve our community—1st and 2nd grade collecting for the Trinity Food Pantry, and 3rd grade supporting the Backpack Buddy program. As we wrap up, we’re excited to see if we can reach our goal of creating a GIANT cereal box domino path! Thank you for your generosity and for helping our students experience the joy of giving.

Chapel Moments

Last week we had an amazing time in chapel as we continued the “Camp Wilderness” series, which is all about Moses and the Israelites' journey through the wilderness. Pastor Kami taught about how “It’s Time to Glow", as we looked at Exodus 34 when Moses spent time with God and his face literally glowed after he left God’s presence. We learned that God’s presence changes us, that others will see the change, and that we must make spending time with God a priority, not simply something we do when we’re in chapel or go to church. 

Whatchagaddaknow: I Will Be in God’s Presence Every Single Day!

Chapel Moments

We had a great time in Chapel this week as Mrs. Moore taught our lesson in our Camp Wilderness series. In this series, we learned through the Bible story of the pillars of cloud and fire that God faithfully leads and guides us in every situation. He has a perfect plan for our lives and is always present to direct our steps. We are encouraged to seek His guidance not only in the big decisions, but in the small, everyday choices as well. When we look to Him, He will show us the way and reveal His plan for our lives.

Main Focus: God will guide you through the twists and turns of life!

The Principal’s Piece: A Note From Mrs. Randolph

I hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful and restful long weekend with your families. We are looking forward to another joyful week ahead, with a special focus on Easter as we celebrate our Risen Savior and King together! Our students especially enjoy learning about the Resurrection through our Resurrection Egg activity, which helps bring the true meaning of Easter to life in a meaningful way. Please note that we do not have school on Good Friday. 

Wishing you a blessed week!

He is not here, but has risen. ~ Luke 24:6

Chapel Moments

It was another great week in chapel as Mrs. Duncan continued our "Camp Wilderness" series learning all about what it means to follow God even when the path gets tough! In last week's lesson, the students learned that we've all sinned, messed up and failed God. Through the story of Aaron and the "(Not So) Holy Cow", students learned that our God is a God of second chances. When we are humble and repent, God is faithful to forgive, restore our broken lives, and make us whole again! 

Main Focus: God can restore you when you fail!

Power Verse: “But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.” 1 John 1:9

Whatchagaddaknow: “God Will Give You A Second Chance!”

The Principal’s Piece: A Note From Mrs. Randolph

As part of our new grade-level service projects this year, each class has been given the opportunity to serve others in meaningful and hands-on ways. We are excited to share how God is working through our students as they learn the joy of giving, serving, and making a difference in the lives of others. Our second graders recently completed a special project that beautifully reflects these values. Please read the exciting details below:

Our second graders had a wonderful time participating in The Crayon Initiative outreach program! They wrapped up the drive with a special Crayon Station Day, where they peeled, sorted, melted, and even made crafts using the recycled crayon paper. The crayons collected will be sent to the Crayon Initiative, where they will be transformed into new crayons to brighten the days of children in hospitals across the country.

We are so thankful to everyone who donated crayons and volunteered during our station day, helping make this a meaningful and memorable outreach for our students. May this collection be a blessing to many children and a reminder that our God is vibrant, alive, and gives us the fullness of joy!

Chapel Moments

We had a great time in chapel with Mrs. Randolph kicking off our new six-week series, Camp Wilderness! Throughout this series, we will explore lessons from the Israelites and Moses as they wandered through the wilderness. This series offers a fun and meaningful look at how we can learn to trust and follow God, even when life feels a little uncertain.

Our first lesson came from Exodus 16, where God provided manna and quail for the Israelites in the wilderness. Through this story, we learned an important truth: God is our provider.

Power verse: “And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.” – Philippians 4:19

The Principal’s Piece: A Note From Mrs. Randolph

Many of our Lower School students performed in Winnie the Pooh this past week, and it was absolutely adorable! We are so proud of our many star performers who worked hard, showed confidence, and brought the story to life on stage. Great job to our students and everyone who helped make the production such a success! 

Our 3rd grade students will take the Stanford Achievement Test Series (SAT-10) on Monday and Tuesday, March 16–17. This norm-referenced assessment provides a snapshot of student progress and measures growth and mastery of skills and content in comparison to a national standard.

Please make every effort to have your third grader present and on time both days so testing can begin promptly and disruptions are minimized. There will not be any makeup testing, so attendance during these two days is very important.

We also encourage students to get a good night’s sleep and eat a healthy breakfast before coming to school so they can be focused and ready to do their best. Thank you for helping ensure a smooth and focused testing environment for our students.

Chapel Moments

We had a wonderful time in Chapel this week as Mrs. Moore taught our last lesson in our Listen Up series. In this series, we have talked about the importance of listening to God and to other wise voices in our lives. This week, we focused on the importance of using our voice to help others and to share God’s love through the message of the gospel. We discussed how our voice can be used to encourage others and build them up. Through the Bible story of Paul found in Acts 27:13-26, we discussed how Paul used kind, positive words even to people that were considered his enemy. 

Main Focus: We must be a voice that others can listen to!

Power Verse: “Kind words are like honey, sweet to the soul and healthy for the body." Proverbs 16:24

Through the story of Joash, the 7 year old king, students learned we must listen to the RIGHT voices in our lives. Joash was wise beyond his years! He chose to listen to Jehoiada the priest, a godly man who led him to honor the Lord as king over Judah. Seeking wise counsel from godly leaders in our lives brings us closer to God!

Last week we had an amazing time in chapel as we kicked off a new series called “Listen Up: Learning to Listen to the Right Voices.” Pastor Kami taught about Hearing God’s Voice, as we looked at Samuel hearing from God while he was a young boy. Just as God spoke to Samuel when he was a kid, we learned that God still speaks to kids. We must quiet our hearts and our surroundings so that we can lean in to hear what He’s speaking to us.

Chapel Moments

Mrs. Randolph wrapped up our “Epic” series by asking students this question, “Whose power are you depending on?”. Through the story of Daniel in the Lion’s Den, students were reminded of the importance of leaning into God’s power through prayer, obedience, and dependency on Him. Mrs. Randolph illustrated this with the example of a lamp. On its own, a lamp cannot shine. It must be plugged into a power source. In the same way, when we try to do life on our own without God, we lack the true power we need. Students were encouraged to “plug into” God’s power so their light can shine brightly in the world. Daniel chose to pray, obey, and depend on God and we can too!

Chapel Moments

It was another great week in chapel as Mrs. Duncan continued our series, Epic: Bible Stories That Will Blow Your Mind! It's not easy to go against the crowd and choose to please God instead of man. Through the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, the students learned how important it is to take a stand for God, no matter what. Peer pressure is hard! But Jesus is always with us. When we live to please God, He will bless our lives in mighty ways!

Main Focus: We must live our lives to please God, not others.

Last week in Chapel, Pastor Kami continued our “Epic” series by teaching that our God is the one true and powerful God. Through the story of Elijah and his showdown with the prophets of Baal on Mt. Carmel, students learned that while counterfeit gods may exist, our God alone has true power and authority. Riley and Kevin led us in a time of worship, and Chuck Foo helped the kids learn and apply our Bible verse for the day.

We had a wonderful time in Chapel this week as Mrs. Moore shared a lesson on trusting God. Students learned that God invites us to place our full trust in Him, knowing that He is always with us and ready to guide our steps. Through the Bible story of Peter walking on water and the message found in Proverbs 3:5–6, we discussed what it looks like to trust God with our whole hearts, even when we face challenges.

Main Focus: We must trust God with all our heart and He will guide our paths!

Chapel Moments

We had a wonderful time in chapel this week as Mrs. Randolph continued our series, Epic Bible Stories That Will Blow Your Mind. Through the story of David and Goliath, students were reminded that God is greater than any trouble or challenge we may face.

Power Verse:
 “...If God is for us, who can ever be against us?” ~ Romans 8:31

“My trouble may be big, but my God is bigger.”

I encourage you to login each week. Information will be updated each Sunday at 5pm.
