Back to School Night Highlights

Our annual Back to School Night was a huge success!  Our gym was packed and our campus was hopping - praise God!

There were three very memorable activities that happened at Back to School Night:

• First, the PTF sponsored a welcome back family picnic.  What a blessing to see so many new faces fellowshiping with familiar ones!  This year we are welcoming 22 new families and 34 new students.  The PTF cooked hot dogs and provided a cool beverage while our families brought side dishes and dessert - no one left hungry.
• Second, our welcome back gathering was very informative.  Parents, students, and staff all gathered in the gym to hear from various ministry leaders.  We heard from the PTF, Auction, Booster Club, Music Conservatory, and Technology Student Association on how parents can get involved this year; CCS has a place for everyone to get plugged in.  This was the also our maiden voyage for live streaming!  If you were not able to physically be in the gym, we brought the gym to you.  Our stream is saved on highschoolcube.com.  You can go to the High School Cube website and type in Conestoga Christian School or click on the following link: http://www.highschoolcube.com/event/conestoga-christian-school-back-to-school-night-358492.  I love technology!!
• Finally, Owen Watkins, the chairman of our Board of Trustees, shared the state of the school.  Owen gave a condensed version at Back to School Night because he made a video for everyone to see; the video will be posted on our website shortly.

This is going to be a great school year.  Keep in mind the Scripture passage Owen shared at Back to School Night, I Corinthians 12 . . . "Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone."
