We made it to Thanksgiving Break! I am beyond thankful that I have the opportunity to be a part of your children's lives. They bring joy and laughter to my heart as I know they do the same for you. I pray that as a family, you have a wonderful time together over the break, celebrating thankfulness.
Thank you all for your constant prayers. We love your children!
Our Parent Serve Team invites our middle school family to bless all of our faculty and staff with a generous gift card to a store of their choosing. Because each student in the MS has 6 or 7 teachers, we work to combine our resources together to give each one a larger gift.
We would love to have you be a part of that process. Please sign up here for an amount that the team can count on, and then send in money one of these three ways:

Cash- either office labeled MS Christmas Gift

Our sixth grade classes got to explore the Duke World of Energy in Seneca, SC. They learned about energy, clean water, and our lake system in South Carolina. The day finished with a fun hike to see the lake.
We had the best time at Discovery Place in Charlotte, NC. We learned about the body systems, practiced some hands-on plane flying, discovered mechanical engineering displays, touched a snake, saw rainforest birds, and much more!
The eighth grade class spent three days at the Wilds Christian Camp in North Carolina. God did an amazing work in growing hearts towards Himself. Our class enjoyed activites and bonding with each other and their teachers, too.
We have accumulated many unclaimed items here at the Middle School on our lost and found racks. Each week, pictures of the items are dropped into a spreadsheet for parents to view and claim. (Please do not delete photos as you claim items, or we will lose track of what is what.) After four weeks, any unclaimed items will be donated. The link can always be found under the Helpful Links tab. It is also linked here: Lost and Found
If it is hard to access the sheet to add names, feel free to email: Truc Sulaiman
