June 9th, 2014 Identity Crisis?

I was walking through the halls today, checking on the exterior doors and peeking into classrooms.  The walls of our hallways speak.  They speak by echoing the children and by what is displayed on the walls.  Today in particular I felt like I was getting mixed messages.  With the way the seasons have presented themselves this year it was just recently that this bulletin board was posted.  It was not that long ago indeed.  I feel we just entered into the spring season.

Right beside the spring bulletin board are wonderful pieces of art done by the grade two class and the title gives us a slightly different perspective as it announces that the students are Eager, Energized, Excited and Enthused for Summer.  I feel that summer is around the corner even though we just started spring.  Then I found another piece on the wall to add to the current identity crisis. 

There, on the wall amongst the pieces of art, down in the corner was just one more piece that gives us a clear indication of what is happening on the other side of these walls. I had to enlarge this piece just to make sure it was seen.  We are progressing through the year but the students are still hard at work.  They continue to have their gifts developed as we close out another school year providing quality, Christ-centered education.  As parents, we hope and pray that the work the students do will deepen their understanding of God’s world and instil a sense of awe and wonder that will inspire them to live lives that are eager, energized, excited and enthused to serve in God’s Kingdom and live for him. ~ Mr. Bouwers
