Middle School Student Council Elected
Congratulations to the 2019-2020 Middle School Student Council officers, who were elected after two and a half days of campaigning throughout the division. This year each grade will be led by five elected officers and by volunteer representatives. To be recognized as a representative, a student will attend a minimum of 5 meetings and work on two projects each semester. Participating students gain invaluable experience in leading and organizing meetings and projects, while enriching the Middle School community through their service.
Chapel Services Give Students Space for Spiritual Growth
Chapels have been considered places of sanctuary for millions of people since the Christian faith inspired their construction.

Last week, the Upper, Middle, and Lower Schools all held their first chapel meetings of the year.
