Vicky Vila at Promethean Board training
Technology training, the Chapel week series and visits from the Sweetwater SWAT and Canine Teams added to fundraisers and student honors to make February an especially active month at Miami Christian School.
Vicky Vila, MCS High School ESE Resource teacher, took advantage of Promethean Board training made possible through the IDEA Project with Miami Dade County Public Schools as students and staff enjoyed a weeklong“ Spiritual Emphasis” chapel series for middle and high school students.
They were joined by their peers from Horeb Christian School each day to hear David Stocker, youth pastor from Central Bible Church, as featured speaker during a program that also featured an MCS Parent Teacher Fellowship fund-raising dinner on Thursday. The festive Chinese dinner and a Chapel service by Metro Life Church was enjoyed by all.
* * *MCS Middle School students looking forward to their Teen Valley Ranch trip this spring and working hard to raise funds for the experience. For that effort, they have brought food trucks on campus during after school hours to sell items to their friends. La Nostra Pizza and Kona Ice were here for a half-day recently.
* * * The High School Beta Club, always actively involved in community service, raised funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society through a schoolwide effort. Seventh grade regular class with Homeroom Teacher Tatiana Hernandez notched highest money per student and will enjoy a pizza party as a reward. First grade class with Joanna Clark came in second. Congratulations to all for raising more than $1000 to help this great cause.
* * * In other news, the Sweetwater SWAT and Canine Teams came on campus to do a presentation for middle and high school students on how the teams work in the community. Officers in full gear demonstrated what it was like to be a SWAT team member, demonstrating how a working officer’s canine dog does his job, as well. The officers plan to return with horses and helicopters for further instructional school appearances.
* * * Kudos in order for students invited to perform in the District 20 Honor Band in February. Exemplifying MCS’s quality music program were Chris Abello, Sophia Saenz, Abel Victores, Elizabeth Rosillo and Robert Barrueco, all of whom gave outstanding performances.
* * * Re-enrollment has opened and Admissions Open Houses are being held to introduce quality programs and activities to interested families. Tel. Gladys Mata (305-221-7754 x771) for a tour and information. Check MCS on Facebook(on.fb.me/mcsvictors) or the MCS website <www.miamichristian.org>
