It
is a busy time of year on the school calendar with things like report cards,
parent teacher conferences, volleyball tournaments, Membership meetings and the
Bazaar. The frenetic pace is somewhat
infectious as the community buzz becomes as constant as the sound emanating from
the florescent lights above. I had the distinct
pleasure of seeing wave after wave of volunteers streaming through the doors
and into the school. Our community pours
life into these events and, in turn, pours life into our students. Thursday night three alumni families came in
to volunteer. It is a tremendous
blessing to see some of our “graduated” families in these life giving
roles. On to Friday where parents and a
number of students were eagerly volunteering as they helped set up chairs and
tables. There were at least three
generations involved in setting up for this community event. What a testament to the strength and commitment
to Christian education in the Flamborough area. I heard someone remark that it
must take a small army to get ready for the bazaar. It may not be an army but it does take our
whole community, and what a community that is.
Thank you to all of the organizers of the Bazaar, the volunteers, the
cooks, the patrons, and any other group that I somehow missed. It was a wonderful event and I am already
looking forward to next year. ~Mr.
Bouwers
