And, of course, I must thank our students! Without them, we wouldn’t have a school. Thank you all for
your hard work in 2017 both in and out of the classroom. Watching your minds develop academically
and spiritually is such a joy to watch. Numerous times this year I have been blessed to see you pursue
Global Missions projects and fundraisers that have demonstrated your care for the wellbeing of others.
This coupled with your desire to excel academically have been a credit to you and your families.
As we look forward to 2018, we look forward with hope and faith because we trust in our Great God
who sustains us. Personally, I pray that 2018 is a year of growth for our school at every level. As we set
out to build and develop the school may we all be encouraged, like Nehemiah was, to tell others of the
good hand of my God which is upon me. Also, like Nehemiah, we know the challenges that lie ahead of
us will be there, but we trust in the goodness of the Lord Jesus Christ to carry us each step of the way.
Finally, I would like to send my best wishes to our departing students and families. We have truly been
blessed to partner with you on this part of your journey and we wish every blessing to you all.
To all our wonderful school community, we thank you for your contribution in 2017 and we look forward
to working together in 2018 Lord-willing. May the Lord give you a safe and joyful holiday period.
May God bless you.
