Dear Middle School Parents and Students,
Next Friday is our annual Middle School Sports Day, where students participate in a variety of competitions, games, and activities to earn points for their teams. This is always a very fun day filled with laughter, joy, and friendly competition.
I love these kinds of events because they allow students’ full personalities to shine outside of the normal academic setting. Students and teachers alike look forward to a chance to be outside while celebrating movement and physical activity.
It’s important to remember that God created us as holistic beings. We are more than just a brain, a body, or our emotions—we are a blend of all these parts. No single aspect of life, whether sports, music, art, or even academics, should become an idol. As 1 Timothy 4:8 reminds us: "Physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come." This verse encourages us to prioritize godliness and our commitment to Christ above all else.
Specific details have come from Ms. Vuong regarding the details of the day. Please pray for safety, good weather, and good vibes throughout the entire day. Thank you for your support.
Blessings,
Will Schroeder
Middle School Principal
