Welcome back to all of our students, families and staff. We pray that you had a safe, relaxing and refreshing summer!
It is with great anticipation that we look forward to this coming school year and believe that God will continue to build upon the great things he started last year among our student leaders and throughout our entire student body. We saw the presence of God very strongly in chapels, retreats, daily prayer, devotions, Christian Studies, and service trips. We are so thankful for the dedication and faithfulness of the staff and teachers who help facilitate these great things.
Thanks to our student leadership team for hosting a back-to-school prayer walk around the school buildings and property and for all of the students, staff and families who joined us to also pray over each building and classroom.
We are pleased to have Pastors Kristen and Charlene back as well as to introduce Pastor Ryan who, in addition to his Bachelor’s Degree in the area of Theology and Youth Ministry, brings a wealth of experience in working with teens and young adults. We are confident God has brought this team together under the oversight of our Christian Curriculum Coordinator and look forward to how God will use them.
Phil 1:6a – And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work…
We also look forward to some of the spiritual initiatives including memorizing scripture together and the themes for our chapels and retreats this year.
Maintenance
It was a busy summer for our maintenance department and summer students as they tackled many on-site projects including:
Complete recarpeting and repainting of the Gr. 1-3 building including the mini-gym.
Furnace and duct cleaning as well as furnace replacements in several buildings.
Security and Fire system upgrades across the entire campus.
Replacing the woods chips in the red playground with engineered wood chips. A huge thanks to our students and families for the generous fundraising effort that contributed to this.
Painting and repair of the red playground.
Multiple air conditioning repairs/upgrades (this brought relief to several classrooms and prevented having to purchase new systems).
Building of football broadcast seacan and scoreboard setup.
Major sewer repair/replacement.
New locker installations.
Bathroom and wall repairs.
MCS directed, and collaboratively funded, beautiful upgrades to the Admin Building foyer entrance, Gr. 4-6 Building foyer entrance and the High School student activity space.
Youth Ministry
Calvary Community Church is pleased to announce a new, full-time Youth Director, Landon Regier who will not only be leading the Youth Ministry at Calvary but is looking forward to interacting and collaborating with members of our MCS team.
We are planning a Thursday afternoon, youth drop-in time and space (after early dismissal) that will help build youth community.
ELCC/Out of School Care
We had a very full summer as we were near capacity for our summer program which many parents and families are grateful for.
MCSS Registration and Fees
Thanks to all of our parents and families who have diligently contacted us with questions or concerns in regards to their Society fees.
Our MCSS accounting team is such a blessing as they have worked extremely hard to streamline and simplify the fee process. Thanks to them and to the patience of our families as we continue to work to improve customer service in this area.
