I was driving down the road the other day and saw a sign in front of a school that said "Amazing Things Are Happening Here." As a principal, this brought a smile to my face because I know that amazing things do happen in schools. Teachers work hard to make learning fun and exciting, they share their passion so that students can become lifelong learners, they peek curiosity, they answer questions, they provide comfort...and the list could go on and on.
My thoughts traveled to the many amazing things happening at Bethlehem Lutheran School. In the past few months our students have ministered to the elderly at Healthsource, they have shared the story of the birth of Jesus Christ with community members through the Boars' Head festival, they have made Christmas cards for veterans, collected toiletries for rehabilitation patients, sang for the Salvation Army, prayed for each other, comforted each other, encouraged each other, and again..the list could go on and on.
Our school is so much more than academics though. Sure, we teach standards, we hold our students to high expectations, and we challenge their thinking...but the most amazing things happen here when we teach them how to live like Christ!! This is a daily occurrence on our campus, in our homes, and around our community. Our students are being shown what it means to be the hands and feet of Christ and they have multiple opportunities to put this into practice. AMAZING THINGS ARE HAPPENING HERE!
