God blessed the day with fantastic weather and wonderful parent volunteers. The highly anticipated re-enactment of the 1889 land run was just as it should be--chaotic, entertaining, and over in a flash.

This year, Class 2 studied Westward Expansion-culminating in experiencing pioneer life for a day at the 23rd annual Pioneer Day. It was an enriching educational experience provided by the parents of our Class 2 students.

Mrs. Martin, Mrs. Ballard, and Mrs. Jordan want to thank Mrs. Gazda, Mrs. Wood, and all of the parents who planned, prepared, and participated in making this day so special for all of us.

Class 5 celebrated Greek Day on Monday, April 3. This semester students enjoyed the fun and fanciful myths about the Greek gods. While these works are eloquent, they reveal the childish and self-centered character of these alleged deities. In contrast, our God lacks these human deficiencies. The city-states of Athens, Thebes and Sparta competed in a worthy manner with art, on the athletic field and in the theater with plays and poetry. The competitors feasted in the shadow of the acropolis and danced merrily. Cheers rang out as the victors were crowned with olive wreaths. With pink cheeks and happy hearts the weary students and their generous parents journeyed home. Thank you to all who made Greek Day spectacular!

Ninety-three Class 8 students, parents, and faculty just returned from the annual Washington D.C. trip. History came to life at Mount Vernon, Gettysburg, and the National Archives, illustrating many of the things the students had studied in class. Other highlights included cherishing the Truth of Scripture at The Museum of the Bible, being inspired by the goodness of those who resisted evil at the Holocaust Museum, and admiring the beauty of God's handiwork in the stunning cherry blossoms!

In March, the current Student Council Officers and the Senior Class Reps attended the Spring District 7 conference at Kellyville High School.
