As you have been blessed… March 20, 2012

You may have noticed in the Connects a few announcements about a number of things going on at the school.  The grade 8 class is undertaking a food and clothing drive for the Good Shepherd Centre.  The students have been going to the Good Shepherd Centre for a number of years and the grade 8 class is taking on this extra initiative as a way to help bless others in our community.  It comes from a recognition that we are differently blessed than some of our neighbours and as we have been blessed we are also called to be a blessing.  It is a wonderful way for our students to show the Love of Christ to others.  Part of the school’s mission is to prepare our students’ for a life of Christian service and we try to provide a number of forums for our students to respond to this very intentional part of our mission statement.    At the end of the week, on Saturday, there is the Spring Gala Event.  It is another opportunity for the broader community to show their support for this school and its mission and vision.  So, as we have been blessed let us also continue to be a blessing.  Help us to shape the character and minds of young lives through a Christ-based education that will prepare them for a life of leadership and contribution in God’s Kingdom.  ~Mr. Bouwers
