Today’s Family Time

Monday ---Today Mr. VerMerris spoke to the students about keeping the focus of Christmas on Jesus. The title was “Turn You Eye…” based on Hebrews 12:2. He challenged the students to look at the baby in the manger and see that the baby was our Savior.

On Wednesday

the 6^th grade Environmental Classroom students will be going to the Bunker Interpretive Center at Calvin College in order to learn about what a “Green” building is. On Friday, they hope to go to see the Christmas trees from around the world at the Frederik Meijer Gardens.
