Thanksgiving Break:

November 21-25

Buzz, buzz, buzz...the energy on campus today is strong! The sights, sounds and smells have all the senses tingling! We have dress rehearsals taking place, music floating from the stage and classrooms, Thanksgiving breakfast smells filling the halls and a general excitement that reminds us that vacation is just a few hours away.

In this season of Thanksgiving and I am reminded to count our blessings. To name some specific things ... I'm thankful for a school community that by and large supports RAA and our addition of 9th & 10th grades. I'm thankful for a strong teaching team and auxiliary staff that are unparalleled in their areas. I'm thankful for 3 years of continued enrollment growth and for every family of our 83 (90 when our Essentials students are on campus!) students. I'm thankful for good school health - emotionally, physically & spiritually. James 1:17 reminds us that 'Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation of turning.' God gives good gifts and we are truly thankful for the ways He takes care of us.

Wishing you a wonderful week ahead where you find many things to fill your hearts full of thanksgiving.

Classroom Spotlight: High School Art Class - Mrs. Wahlman

San Francisco de Young Art Museum Day

Thursday, the 9th grade art class had a field trip to San Francisco. Mrs. Wahlman, their art teacher, wanted the class to experience contemporary art. There was a variety of art work that had many stories to tell. The students had an assignment in documenting these stories. Some Essentials students also attended,

everyone enjoyed the experience!

A recent study showed that visiting an art museum stimulates positive emotions, promotes feelings of engagement resulting in an improved quality of life; not to mention promoting creativity.

What a great way to spend the day!
