Middle School Review

BY SAMANTHA PENCE

It has been a wonderful start to the year for our middle school students and faculty!

Our hallways and classrooms have a fresh new look thanks to many parent volunteers who helped paint our classroom walls this summer We are especially thankful for generous donations from Gayle and Darrell Kellum who built an organizational island for our teacher workroom, the Goulder family who donated a beautiful granite countertop for the island in the teacher workroom, and the Boaz family who donated mounts and installed televisions in the middle school hallway in order to scroll announcements and pictures of our middle school students.

Our 6th Grade & New Middle School Student Orientation Night was a success Over 40 students and 60 parents attended. Activities for parents included a session on navigating technology for middle school students led by Bellview Baptist Church’s Next Gen pastor Jay Stephenson and an introduction to middle school session Activities for students included get to know you games led by Brad Smith, a photo/video scavenger hunt facilitated by Angel Jones and Terri Millican as well as by students from our middle school student council, and a student session on middle school expectations RED

WE THANK GOD FOR THE GIFT OF A NEW SCHOOL YEAR AS WE LIVE INTO OUR THEME BIBLE VERSE CHOSEN BY OUR SENIOR CLASS. MATTHEW 6:33, “SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS AND ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE ADDED UNTO YOU.”
