“My whole heart follows hard after you and clings closely to you!”
We were thrilled bout our first spiritual emphasis week for the 2010-2011 school year. It was held September 20-24.
The theme for Elementary School was “Spirit of the Seas.” Each day during bible time, students focused on a bible story which all centered in on obedience. The stories covered during this week were: Jesus Calming the Storm, Noah and the Ark, Jonah, The Disciples Casting Their Nets & Peter Walking on the Water. Each day students were able to have worship time, a bible lesson, memory verse and complete a craft. The week concluded with an interactive bible story, including a large boat and someone “walking on water,” during chapel. It was a great week and students received a certificate and snack for their completion of our Spiritual Emphasis Week.
Pastor Tom Mahairas (founder of Manhattan Bible Church) came in to speak to our Middle and High Schoolers. He graciously shared his testimony with them and spoke about how God rescued him from a life of drug addiction. Pastor Mahairas also shared that there are 3 types of Believers….. The Believer, The Non-Believer, and the Make-Believer…….he challenged them as to which one they were. At the end he asked all those that would like to rededicate their lives to Christ to come forward. On Friday he shared with them that they are special and that God loves them very much. Seven students came forward to receive Jesus as their personal Saviour. He also asked student to pray for one another.
We praise God for His presence and for moving amongst our students. We are excited to see what He has in store for us this school year!

Will we ever use this?
When are we ever gonna use this? I hear my math students say quite often. When we began working on prealgebra topics the answer became quite evident. Our class soon learned that variables, or unknowns, are all around us and that word problems happen everyday. We began coming up with our own word problems to solve based on events that happened to us that week (ex. Carlos wanted to buy some gum for his friends. It costs $1.00 a pack. If he has $5.00 how many packs can he buy for his friends to share?)

Day of Prayer
This month we observed the day of prayer. In honor of that day we spent a week learning about the 6 rooms of prayer. We also spent time praying and seeking God!
Mr. Lopez
Integrity
We studied integrity this month. Integrity is walking in honesty with God and man. Living in the light and allowing the world to praise Jesus because of your good deeds.
Mr. Lopez
Character
Our textbook is called Character quest and that’s exactly what God desires to develop in the 7th grade class. I can see God breaking through as the class grows in their walk.
Mr. Lopez
Patience
We studied patience this month. Learning to patient with God, others and ourselves! Jesus said, by patience a man possess his soul.
Mr. Lopez
Diligence
We studied Diligence this month. We learned that it takes 10000 hrs to be great at any thing. Diligence is working hard until the task is done. Some of our dreams require a ton of work to make them a reality.

Spring Celebration
I am really proud of these students. When they started, they didn’t think they could dance. After faithfully coming to practice on time, warming up and working hard, they really learned a lot. They even went shopping for their costumes. For the Spring Celebration, they danced to I Want To Be Right There and did a great job.
