Thanksgiving Thoughts

As we approach the 2012 Thanksgiving holiday we are compelled to look back at the numerous ways we have been blessed as a school. This year, perhaps even more than any in the past, we have a multitude of reasons to be grateful. Here are just a few…

               

 For starters, the fact that we had a school to return to in the fall is in itself an amazing fact. At the end of the 2012 school year there were many uncertainties about the 2013 school year that caused many students, parents, and staff to worry. This apprehension only grew as the uncertainties extended into the summer months. Throughout that time, however, we were able to rest on the assurance that “God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” (Romans 8:28 NASB) It was a great relief to all to find out shortly before the school year that Calvary Christian Schools would be opening as normal in September. As a bonus, God even worked in unfathomable ways to allow us to continue at the Kendra Road address. We are very blessed to be in such a wonderful building.

               

A functional school this year wouldn’t have been possible without the unbelievably hard work and extreme dedication of the Calvary school board and staff… and this is an understatement. Every single one of them worked countless hours all throughout the school year and summer to preserve the awesome ministry that is Calvary Christian Schools. Doing all they did for the students is probably one of the most selfless acts that most of us will experience in our lifetime. I know that I speak for all of the students when I say that we will be forever grateful for the privilege of learning at Calvary which was made possible only through many late night calls and hundreds of meetings attended by the school board.

               

 In addition to all this, there are many other reasons for us to be thankful this year. We are thankful for all the teachers and staff who have stuck with us through everything, our families, our friends, our faith, and even our basic necessities like food and clothes. God has certainly been a faithful provider for his undeserving children this year.
