Ms. Rogers,
3rd Grade Teacher
Well, folks, we have made it through half of the school year. We have been in school, we have experienced remote learning. Whichever way, we have done school, it has had its share of stress and worries with the change brought on by the coronavirus.
So many teachers, parents, and students have struggled to adjust to new methods in hopes of preventing the further spread of the coronavirus. Through it all, I am in awe of the flexibility and grace with routines and one another.
Let us lift our hearts to God in prayer, asking him to continue to guide us.
All Holy, Loving, and Compassionate God,
Thank you for your protection and guidance for all you created. We come to you today with faith and trust.
We lift our administrators, teachers, and staff as they continue to lead and teach the ministry of Christ. We pray for your blessing of their lives, their work, and their families. May they be empowered to see the needs of the faculty and the students under their care.
We bring our parents and guardians before you. We pray for their decisions that require your wisdom, understanding, and insight. Strengthen them from within, so that they might be a source of strength, confidence and hope for their children.
Most of all, we bring before you our students. May they grow in grace and wisdom. Enlighten their minds and help provide them with knowledge, determination, and grit. Keep them safe from illness and protect them from harm.
We ask all these things in your holy name. Amen.

Here you will find a list of the employees that work on our Three Points Campus along with their email addresses. Over the next six months, feel free to contact them and ask how you can pray for them or send words of encouragement.
Your prayers and encouraging words will be a blessing to us all.

Having fun with Letters!
Preschool students are learning and having fun with letter awareness activities! In our preschool classes, children chant letter sounds, act like animals that stand for each letter, match upper and lower case manipulative letters, ‘catch’, with a magnet wand, the letter that begins his or her name, build letters with straight and curved wood pieces, stamp letters and words with alphabet stamps, practice writing both upper and lowercase, hunt for specific letters in classrooms, create playdough letters, and more! Pictured, you will find some of our pre-kindergartners using American Sign Language to sign their favorite letter.

The BCS theatre program is offering a FREE viewing of their performance of "Alice in Wonderland". The play is student-produced and will be ON DEMAND on February 12 & 13.
You all know the story of how Alice tumbles down a mysterious rabbit hole and finds herself in a strange land where everyone is raving mad. With the help of a Cheshire Cat, an astute Caterpillar, and a righteous Humpty Dumpty, Alice must find her way home and discover who she really is. This is a darker, more faithful version of Lewis Carroll's classic tale that reimagines the experience of Wonderland, and ends with an unexpected new twist.
Join us for this entertaining, student-produced play. It will be available on-demand on the dates above via the link to the left.
