"Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever."
Psalm 136:1

|
Some may know him as author Rosseaux Brasseur, but he transformed into "The Quester"—an energetic and interactive teacher of God's Word at Grace Christian Chapel Friday.
The Quester brought students forward during the service to assist with his presentation. He spoke on faith and its need to be active.

This was fun and informative. Our kindergarten students spent some time on the farm last week.
Becky Bull has the report....
"Our kindergarten class spent the afternoon at Pheasant Field Farms to pick out a special pumpkin. We have been learning about the life cycle of the pumpkin in science. At the pumpkin patch, we ate lunch, picked a pumpkin, went through a corn maze, had fun on the hayride, saw the animals, and drank apple cider. It was so much fun to see all of the wonderful things God has created."

Rocks Testify To God's Creativity | |
|
Have you ever been to the Crater Rock Museum? This gem has grown to a 12-thousand-square-foot attraction, and it's a fascinating and fun place for kids to learn a little geology, and be amazed at what the Lord reveals to us in nature.
Our third graders recently took a field trip to the museum in Central Point, where they saw all kinds of colorful and fascinating displays, including several rocks minerals, and fossils discovered right here in Southern Oregon.
Isn't it great that right here in our community there are so many things to see that are evidence of God's handiwork?

Mrs. Amann is letting us have a peek inside her classroom, as they blend grammar and science.
She says that insect boxes are a tradition for fourth graders. "Once they’ve been made, then the investigations begin!"
Students identify the types of protection God has provided these tiny creatures. Students also make subject/predicate wheels, interweaving the insects they identified into detailed grammar sentences.
Students also learn about the symmetry of insects and draw a variety of insects. This week students will be creating/designing a unique, one-of-a-kind insect, drawing it, and writing about it!"

Scenes From Mrs. Eaton's Class | |
Did you ever wonder what goes on in a middle school classroom? Mrs. Eaton's sixth grade class is a lively place.
In her math class, a group of boys decided to cash in their coupons all at the same time. Eaton has a reward system where students can earn coupons that they may cash in throughout the school year. This particular group decided to cash in their trade seats, bring a drink, and bring a snack coupon. Cody described it as "the true meaning of teamwork!”
Meanwhile, another student gifted Mrs. Eaton with a "30 Second Dance Party" button. The button, when pressed, plays 30 seconds of dance music. She made a deal with the class: when they needed a brain break, they would do a 30-second dance party. But the second the music was done, they had to immediately go back to math. "They rocked it!," she said.

"Who do men say that I am?," was a question Jesus asked His disciples in Matthew 6. There are a range of responses we may hear in the marketplace, from a good teacher, to perhaps a madman in the minds of some, while others say as Peter did that He is the Christ.
We paid a visit to Ms. Johnston's seventh grade Bible class today. They opened with an opportunity to "spend time with Jesus," filling out prayer journals. After that, the class dove into "The God-Man, Christ In The Gospels," by Cheri Noel. Today, students were looking at maps the detail the travels of Jesus in His first year of ministry.
Exercises such as this are a reminder that Jesus is indeed an historical figure, who at one time lived among us here on earth. When you consider that God took on human form, lived life as we do, and then suffered torture and death (though innocent), and then rose from the dead, one must be left speechless. It's amazing what Jesus did for the likes of you and me.
Here at CCMS, kids are learning at school what many of you are teaching them at home. Isn't that reassuring? Thank you for trusting us with your kids, and thank you Sarah Johnston for teaching our students well.

We're coming up on the end of the drive. Thursday is your last day to donate toilet paper for Community Works- an organization that helps families experiencing domestic violence.
A donation box is set up in the high school lobby. The drive is being led at school by Emma Coats as her community service project.

The coast is alive with abundant plant and animal life, a natural environment for biology students to learn about creation. Every year, Mr. Bennett leads a group of boys for a two day trip, and when they return, the girls go.
What a great opportunity. The biology trip is one of those high school highlights from Cascade that kids never forget.

Lunchtime Bible Study Club | |
|
Our first Bible Study Club met last week to study the example of James and how the book of James contains wisdom for our lives.
Thanks to Annalise Buck for leading this! The club meets on Wednesdays at lunch in Mrs. Crenshaw's room.

Joezie Mitchell ('24) Testifies At Sparrow Luncheon | |
|
"The generous soul will be made rich, And he who waters will also be watered himself."
Proverbs 11:25 NKJV
Her story reads like a movie script. A young woman serves as a Sparrow Clubs Student Ambassador for her high school to be a liaison between her school and a young person stricken with a serious illness. The child goes through her treatment, and while doing so, captures the hearts of the school she is linked with. Shortly before the school year ends, the ambassador receives a diagnosis of Hodgkin's Lymphoma. The child is then able to give back the love she received, and the ambassador shares a unique perspective on the experience of being a young person battling cancer.
Many of you know that this is the story of Joezie Mitchell. She and her classmates at Cascade Christian developed a special bond with Evelyn O., a then 7-year-old girl who was going through cancer treatment. Throughout the year, many heartfelt endeavors were undertaken to assist the child and her family, not only to provide financial help but also encouragement as well. The year culminated with a celebration of Evelyn's successful recovery, just as Joezie learned why she had been mysteriously struggling physically.
Next Monday, Joezie completes her treatment and all looks well as she plans to leave soon for Calvin University in Michigan. Last week, this ordinarily reserved young lady spoke at a Sparrow Club luncheon to speak of the impact Sparrow Clubs has on both the sparrow and the school partnered with them. Through it, it also provided Joezie an opportunity to speak boldly about the Lord and how He has brought her through this journey. Through this experience, Evelyn and her family have been a great source of love and encouragement.
Some say that "whatever the Lord brings you through, He makes you a minister to..." As they sometimes say at a movie's end....."to be continued."

FOOTBALL
Four drives, four fumbles. Cascade Christian and North Valley had the makings of a defensive scrum in the first quarter of Friday’s matchup of two teams who had not lost a league game this season.
The door flung open for the Challengers in the second, when reserve QB Grady Sickler came into the game. His touchdown throw to starting QB Deryk Farmer ignited the team. Over the course of the game, senior Bryley Richardson made two touchdown catches from Farmer, the defense forced five Knight fumbles as CCHS downed North Valley 41-to-6.
Farmer finished 11-15 passing for 168 yards and 2 TDs. Late in the game, Sickler re-entered the Challenger backfield and went 5-6 overall. Bryson Walker caught 5 balls for 86 yards, plus he ran for 87 yards a touchdown.
