Last Friday’s Westward Expansion Workshop was fantastic.  Check out pics under “Events: pictures.”  God granted us good weather, great attitudes, and lots of good memories.  UPDATE:  More Pics have been added to the slide show!

Looking Ahead:  Plans are being made for NWEA testing (TBA) and our annual Beach Day and Field Day events at the end of the school year!  Mark your calendars and be looking for more information soon.

Sue Blake spoke at chapel today about the work being done to legally publish Christian books in China.  She shared about the progress that has been made since her visit to OVCS a year ago.  It was encouraging to hear of God’s mighty hand at work across the World.

Next Chapel (April 25th) — Missionaries from Brazil!

This Wednesday, March 28th is Grandparent’s/Senior Friend Day at OVCS.  This is always such a wonderful event!  Grandparents can see the classrooms, enjoy presentations by the students, and participate in our annual kids vs grandparents Jeopardy game.  The event is capped off with a free luncheon for all, put on by the PTF.

Academic Day 2012 is fast approaching.  Many students have shared that they are making wonderful progress.  Projects are due Thursday morning, April 5th.  Judging will take place during that day.  Friends and Families will come in the evening to view projects and presentations.  That evening will also be an open house for prospective families.

The weather has been SO beautiful!  OVCS teachers and students have been taking full advantage of the sunny days.  A few extra minutes at recess has been common.  Plus, eating our lunches outside goes without saying.  Tuesday was “Picnic for Lunch” as part of the March Crazy Days.  The lunch ladies made it very special, including Creamsicles for all!  Mr. Dunbar’s Bible class was outside painting rocks as part of a Bible lesson.  Other classes have gone outside for reading groups or during other teaching times that work well in the sun.  Praise God for the encouragement that good weather brings! 

Monday was Pajama and Slippers Day.    It was fun to be comfy (and colorful)!  Thursday is Face Painting Day.  Next week we are looking forward to Crazy Hair Day and our annual Grandparent’s Day!

This week’s special chapel speaker was Mrs. Ming from the Root Cellar.  The students loved hearing about this precious ministry and were challenged to consider what God’s purpose for each of them is.

Mr.W "defending" himself!

Today, the 3rd through 7th grade students and teachers, as well as many homeschool families, participated in a one-day self defense class.  We had fun, worked up a sweat, and learned a lot.  Check out more pics from the class under “Events,” then “pictures” on this site.
