BE AN EXAMPLE
"Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity."

The coin war is happening this week! Kids can bring in their spare change to help their class win the coin war! The class with the highest amount raised by this Friday (April 15) at 3pm wins! As of Monday afternoon, $928.39 had already been raised.
The coin war is a GREAT opportunity for our students to be literal bucket fillers for others at JCS. Feel free to drop in some change for your buddy class in addition to yours! Classes can also receive outside support for their classrooms; donate online under Capital Campaign with your child's class in the comments, or bring your gift to the JCS office the week of April 11-15.
The winning class will receive a visit from Principal O with a special treat for everyone. They may even invite their buddy class to join them in the celebration! All proceeds will benefit the capital campaign at Jenison Christian School. Keep the change coming!
