Elementary holds annual Book Character dress-up to celebrate reading!
Quite a bunch of characters
| |
|
Characters are building their own character
All year long, after sounding out words with phonics, reading in leveled readers, and devouring family read-aloud and chapter books -- it was time to put on a show.
Students from each grade level used their creativity (and parents' help) to adorn themselves as book characters! It seemed like ninety-three wanted to know where Waldo was, Bible characters came to life, and knights, princesses, candy makers and pirates completed the round-up.
Not to be outdone, the teachers were in full, fictional array themselves.

"So, been farming long?"
"I'm just living the ol' rat race."

It's just around the corner...
Winter Break: Feb. 26 - Mar. 1st

Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
I Thessalonians 5:18
Grateful this week for... No more gravel!
| |
No more crunch, crunch, crunch! | |  |
|
After years and years of a gravel parking lot at the previous campus, driveways at the new campus are
s-m-o-o-t-h! Almost like a race track for elementary energy!
Thank you for providing, Lord Jesus!

Physical science students got into the swing of things
This week, eighth graders helped Mrs. Johnson erect a pendulum in the gym to test the concept.
Yes, the science says it's safe, but having the swinging weight coming at one's face made a few flinch.
Science is the process of thinking God's thoughts after Him.
-- Johannes Kepler

Skeleton Crew at work
Long after the sixth grade science students traced their bodies and filled in and marked their vitals, the memory lives on -- and, hopefully, the knowledge! No bones about it.

If you build it, they will come
Mr. Miller found a design and a few tools, and secondary students helped fashion a new portable table tennis board. Some competitive spirits have since emerged.
King Pong.

Mariner Athletics -- Go Green!
| |
Basketball season was finally "home, sweet, home" in gym
| |
Celebrating the new gym floor, the athletic department held a full season of ten home basketball events, including both junior varsity and varsity teams for girls and boys. That accomplishment is truly something to celebrate! Having an on-campus home court for the first time meant having more usable room, less travel, and more warm-up time. It also meant more excitement.
JV in tournament
While varsity seasons are over, with a boys team loss in Anderson, the junior varsity teams are still in play. The boys and girls travel to Greenville next weekend for the post-season SCACS JV invitational.

|
Converting the campus into sports event site each time took much help from a lot of people, to create space for entry, locker rooms, concessions, etc. And to move a lot of chairs!
Thank you, volunteers for the time, service, and creativity. The season was indeed a victory!

Final home games honor seniors
| |
It seems like just yesterday these players were taking their first awkward team practice. But now, these seasoned senior players were enjoying the spotlight of their final home game. Banners were hung to celebrate all senior athletes, as the 12th grade players and their parents were honored in a center court ceremony between games against Cramerton Christian. Congratulations to seniors. | |
