2nd Grade Ministry Morning at Phoebe Senior Living Center

The second graders at SCA took the Christmas story to the Phoebe Putney Senior Living Center on Beattie Road. They sang praise songs and recited Bible verses to all in attendance. They finished their visit by singing Christmas carols and handing each resident a hand-made Christmas ornament.

The students did a wonderful job sharing the Gospel and the message of hope with the residents. What a blessing to see the students put hands and feet to their faith and share it with others this Christmas season! Good job, second graders!

Homecoming 2014

If you were at the game last Friday, you could feel the school spirit! From the middle and high school grade floats, to the elementary spirit chain and the alumni attendance, everyone from K5 to graduating classes were out to support the Eagles as they took on Covenant Academy.

The themes of the floats were both creative and hilarious. One even featured a live goat….yeah you heard me right. A great job to all the classes for their creativity and hard work during spirit week. And a special thank you to all the elementary students who came out to the game, helped with the spirit chain and led the team on the field.

Our homecoming court looked OUTSTANDING! All the elected students were honored to represent their classes and made memories that will last a lifetime. Congratulations to Kenney Brown and Leigha Goolsby who were elected Homecoming King and Queen.

We had a great turn out of alumni as well. Over 45 alumni came back to the game to meet up with old friends, see the changes happening at their alma mater and reconnect with teachers whose influence lasted longer than their school years at SCA. The alumni tent highlighted classes celebrating their 20, 15, 10 and 5 year graduations. It was cool to see all the accomplishments of those classes!

And a win 41-6 topped off a great night! Thank you to everyone who made this night a success.

Elementary Homecoming Pep Rally

On October 9, the Thursday before Homecoming, the cheerleaders and a few football players put on a pep rally at the Lower Campus for the elementary students. The cheerleaders led the students in several cheers and gave them a preview of the routine they will perform at homecoming. Coach Covington let the students participate in “clap drill” and taught them several chants the football players do in the locker room and on the field. The football players also gave a drill demonstration of going “one-on-one.” The student pick Big Steven ended up being bested by Big Ben 🙂 Coach invited any junior football players to join the team in the locker room at 7:15 the night of the homecoming game, and a select few will even get to lead the team out on the field! After a spirit line, it was back to class for the elementary students and back to the Upper Campus for the cheerleaders and football players. It was a great time to spend together and see all the school spirit through every grade level!

Elementary Beam Signing

On August 19, the elementary students were bused to the upper campus to sign a beam that will hang in the new elementary building currently under construction. They were excited to be out at the upper campus to see the construction and be a part of this building process. The variety of signatures and personalities were interesting to see, and boy were they well behaved!

Great job elementary school! We can’t wait until we are all at the same campus next year.

Fun at the Photo Booth

The photo booth was a huge hit at the All School Celebration! We got a glimpse of your funny personalities and shot some great family and friend photos. Be sure to download your photos online at http://hannerphotography.pass.us/sherwood  you don’t want these memories to slip away. They will be going offline on September 7.
