This week we were visited by a few friends in education from an organization called Deeper Learning. They had a chance to peek at a small piece of the learning happening in K, 1 and 2. I shared the vision and exciting story of 3rd and 4th. To say they were wowed is an understatement. What each of you are doing is what they've been dreaming can be possible in education. The kids were vibrant and energetic on the visit. They were sitting on a log in a small math group, climbing a tree constructing a fort and working in small reading groups around the beach pond. Surrounded in natural beauty straight from the hand of God. It was inspiring to listen to them oogle over your work. Truly, friends, these people who are well researched and dreaming of what 'could be' believe resoundingly that you are doing God's good work every day and transforming lives one experience at a time! Thank you for your faithful efforts and bringing glory to our God day by dayi!
A brief line from Faith's follow up email after the visit:
It made my teacher (and parent) heart so full to see the students exploring God's creation and learning in the most wonderful classroom possible.
This is a free event on Tuesday, May 30 from 6:30-8PM at HCHS Football Stadium for current 2nd thru 7th graders who are interested in playing football next Fall at Holland Christian. Whether you are just curious about playing or all-in, come on out for a fun night of knockerball, dodgeball, air force football, and ice cream sundaes. This is a fun way to meet the coaches, players, and parents who are involved in HCS Football at different levels. Kids will be split by age group for competitions (2nd/3rd, 4t/5th, 6th/7th). Parents are encouraged to attend at the end of the event as there will be a time of Q&A with the coaches, staff, and players. We hope to see everyone there, Go Maroons!!!
