Hands-On Learning in Marine Science

Students in Ms. Garcia’s Marine Science class are diving into hands-on learning with live saltwater aquariums! Through this interactive experience, they apply their knowledge of chemistry, biology, and data collection while developing teamwork, responsibility, and environmental stewardship. This dynamic approach brings science to life and fosters a deeper appreciation for marine ecosystems.

Spreading Courage Through Cards

B.E.S.T. Club Feeding those in Need

This past Valentine weekend B.E.S.T. Club members showed love by feeding 168 men and women in need. We pray the hot plates served up at Trinity Cafe warmed hearts. 

Have you ever been on a collaborative team at work? Your company may have established a committee in order to assess a circumstance, create a procedure, or produce an action plan. Often there are diverse people and personalities that make up the team which can create challenges in accomplishing the goal. What holy ground! Do we recognize that God often uses daily difficulties to stretch us and help us grow as disciples of Christ? These teams invite us into being a team player. Being a team player requires much virtue! Will we respond to the teamwork required of us in our professional lives as an avenue to increase holiness? Here are some prayers supporting that adage “Teamwork makes the dream work!” 

Be sure to keep up with all things Crusader!
