I remember being in high school for a special anniversary and engaging in the discussion about what we should include in the time capsule. The conversation was exciting and it gave students something to rally behind. I distinctly remember being part of the campaign to include the hair from my economics teacher’s handle bar moustache. It was Yosemite Sam-esque. This week the classes will be getting their submissions ready for a time capsule that we hope to bury on Friday (weather permitting). It is exciting to think that something from our time will be preserved for future students to unearth and discover. We will leave photos, post-cards to the future, an ode to the penny, memories, writings, and a typical desk contents in a box(minus the moldy sandwich). This year we celebrate the heritage of faith and the tradition of Christian education that has been preserved for our students to unearth and discover. Also, in doing so, this time capsule also represents a strong desire to leave a legacy for future generations. We cannot trap those desires in a box that we hope to dig up one day, rather, we try to encapsulate it in the hearts of our students so that one day it will bear fruit and they will pass on the same passion for Christian education to their children and their children’s children wherever they end up. ~Mr. Bouwers
