To Develop the Gifts of our Students October 29, 2012

Just last week we had a meeting at the school and discussed some very important items as we look to enhance Christian education at our school.  Once again, I had the opportunity to talk about the mission of this school and how we are using it as a filter for our decisions and establish direction.   Last week we looked at the first part of the mission that highlighted a quality, Christ-centered education.  This week we will look at the second part of our mission which says we are  to develop the gifts of God’s children.  Each of us are made in God’s image and, quite frankly, that is the reason we have value.  Since we believe this at DCCS it is important to also recognize that each student is a unique creation with different needs and learning styles.  We look to find ways to develop the gifts of our students and to provide forums for them to respond.  Students should be supported as they unwrap the different gifts God has given them: intellectual, social, spiritual, physical, and aesthetic.  We want to develop these gifts to enable our students to respond to God’s call for their lives and to worship Him.   To God be the glory. ~Mr. Bouwers
