Wolverine Weekly - August 20, 2017

"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers,

against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."

Ephesians 6:10 - 12

Chaplain's Corner

Coming off the heels of last week’s “Wolverine Awakening,” our Middle and High School students broke into Discussion Groups (based on gender and grade…and led by Faculty facilitators) this past Wednesday during our scheduled Chapel time.

The following are questions that our students discussed in their groups, but would also be great points of conversations for you and your student in the car or around the table at home this week…

[READ NEHEMIAH 1:1-8]

"What are some reasons that people (including ourselves) become “numb” to the problems/issues/struggles around them?"
"What are some the problems/issues/struggles that you see going on around you?"
"Why do you think God has made you aware of those problems/issues/struggles?"
"Why is it so easy for us to be unconcerned? Unaffected?"
"What are some specific ways that you can meet those needs?"

[READ NEHEMIAH 2:12, 17-18]

Why do you think Nehemiah surrounded himself with ‘a few likeminded men’?
Why is it important to surround ourselves with ‘a few likeminded’ friends?

[READ NEHEMIAH 2:19-20; 4:15-20 and EPHESIANS 6:10-18]

“Why is it true that many times the presence of opposition in our lives is a good gauge of our effectiveness for the Kingdom of God and our overall threat to Hell?’”
"What are the different types of opposition that people who are living on mission for God will face?"
"Why is it important to know that everything in our lives is spiritual"?
"What is the point/purpose of “putting on the armor of God?”
"Why is it important to know that “God will fight for us”?

Solar Eclipse ~ Monday, August 21st

On Monday, August 21st, Prince Avenue Christian School will participate in a once-in-a-lifetime event as students, teachers, and parents collectively view The Great American Eclipse of 2017

Because this is a special opportunity, the school has planned activities for the day that are both educational and fun from a Biblical worldview.

The Eclipse Day Schedule is as follows:

2:00 pm: Lower school students will be escorted to the practice field and seated by class.

2:10 pm: Middle and high school students will go to the practice field for observation.

2:38 pm: Eclipse totality

3:30 pm: Lower School Dismissal

3:50 pm: Middle School Dismissal

4:00 pm: High School Dismissal

4:00 – 8:00 pm: “Wolverines Unleashed” Family Fun Carnival

Please Note:

To watch the partial stages of the eclipse, proper eye protection must be worn. Normal sunglasses are not safe. PACS will provide one pair of glasses per student from Explore Scientific.

Middle and high school students are encouraged to bring a beach towel to sit on while viewing.

Students are encouraged to participate in Spirit Day dress by wearing “black out” clothes.

There will be no elementary or middle school sports practices after school on Monday. JV and Varsity practices will begin at 4:15 pm.

Parents who do not want their child to participate in the eclipse viewing have two options. (1) E-mail your principal no later than 9:00 am Monday morning, and your student will be supervised by a teacher inside a classroom during the eclipse, or (2) parents may pick their child up from school no later than 1:00 pm. With teachers and students in and out of classrooms during the afternoon, locating a child for a pick up after 1:00 pm will be problematic.

The afternoon bus schedule will run 40 minutes late in coordination with revised dismissal times.

"Wolverines Unleashed" Family Fun Carnival

Monday, August 21st ~ 4 - 8 pm

Immediately following dismissal, the school will continue the celebration with the yearly “Wolverines Unleashed” Family Fun Carnival. This exciting and fun event is for the entire PACS community.

The Admission Ticket to this free event is a donation or

pledge to the 2017-2018 Annual Fund.

The Annual Fund is a yearly campaign that supports the PACS operating budget. A family's once-a-year contribution helps to bridge the gap between tuition and the true cost of educating a student. A tax deductible gift to the Annual Fund keeps PACS tuition reasonable. Please consider giving generously. The goal is 100% participation.
