Greetings,

 

As I reflect on this school year, I notice so many of our students have grown this year. Of course, they have grown taller (and are taller than their teachers!) but so many have grown emotionally and spiritually. I think of the students who have been led to Christ by the Holy Spirit through our teaching, mentoring, and prayers. I think of the preschoolers who have learned that bad days happen, but tomorrow will be better. I think of the middle schoolers who have grown in maturity and show us glimpses of the men and women they are turning into.

 

This year is especially dear to me since my eldest daughter is graduating from BCS this year. She has made wonderful, lifelong friends, developed her own faith that is separate from her parents’, and has a firm foundation of who she is (and to whom she belongs). She has been taught to discern truth from fiction, to think deeply, and make connections to better understand the world around her.

 

BCS is embedded in the fabric of who she is and I am so grateful that God led our family to pursue Christian education for our daughters. They will be forever changed to be focused on eternal things and not just the things of this world. Thank you, Bethany Church, for establishing BCS as a beacon of God’s truth!

 

The 8^th grade Fundraising Dinner was held on Wednesday, May 2. It was a wonderful night. Thank you to all who attended. The students were able to raise enough money to fund their trip to Washington, D.C. While in D.C., they will visited the Spy Museum and the Memorials.

 

National Day of Prayer was Friday, May 4^th. Our sixth grade class organized a Prayer Walk across the BCS campus for students and faculty. It was a special way to commemorate the day. Thank you for your service!

 

The Silent Auction Preview was on Thursday, May 17^th from 5-8pm. We sold out of chicken dinners!

 

The Official Race Day and Silent Auction was Friday, May 18^th. We thought we would be rained out, but the rain held off. We raised $26,000 at the Race and almost $14,000 at the Silent Auction! God is good!

 

Preschool Graduation was held on May 31^st. It was a wonderful ceremony and the preschoolers look so adorable in their graduation robes. The preschool teachers make the evening so memorable for the students and families!

 

Graduation will be Wednesday, June 6 at 7:00pm. Roxie Rust is the graduation speaker! Thanks, Roxie!

 

Did you know that BCS has Summer Camp all summer long? Camp is open to the public and will begin on Tuesday, June 12^th and runs through August 24^th, except July 4th week.
