2009-2010 big splashes:
On April 20th, Our Junior High Choir went to Long Beach
to perform in the ACSI Choral Festival. They received superior
ratings and had a wonderful evening honoring the Lord with their voices.
This spring we had an amazing chapel service
with the amazing Mary Rice Hopkins, famed children's artist.
On March 9th, our school hosted the Junior High
Handbell Festival for the southern California region of ACSI.
Our school got the highest superior ratings and even
performed a memorized song standing spread out all around the auditorium.
Our K-3rd Grade Christmas play, "Arch the Angel" was a HUGE success!
Our pastor said, "I don't know who I enjoyed watching more, our kids perform
or our parents just beaming at their accomplishments." With the help of our
kids, Arch learned the true meaning of Christmas.
Our Junior High Handbell group, the Liberty Bells, were invited to perform
for the annual Orange County Philharmonic Society's Christmas dinner at
