Middle School Retreat is Just Around the Calendar
From the desk of Tammy Hayes, Middle School Principal:
Middle School Retreat at Frontier Camp in Grapeland, Texas is coming around the calendar, October 13 & 14, 2016.聽 MS Retreat has become one of the cornerstones for building a strong 鈥渕iddle鈥 each year at 91猫先生.聽 Along with our commitment to student academics, athletics, and arts, we strive to give our students opportunities to build strong relationships within our community and become well-rounded in all they do.聽 Through the retreat each year, students are given opportunities to interact socially with their teachers outside the regular classroom, play together in unique environments with intentional challenges meant to stretch their norms, and consider God鈥檚 word through meaningful conversations led by advisory leaders, the principal and the campus life director.
Our goal is to build structures of mutual respect, friendship, gratitude, and community between our faculty and students for the rest of the year around what happens at this retreat. Students are encouraged to make new friends and challenged to move out of their comfort zones throughout the two-day event. This year鈥檚 theme is BRAVE! This stands for our call to all in our school community to be BRAVE: Bold, Redemptive, Armored-Up, Vested, and Eternally-minded. We will focus this year at retreat on the letter 鈥淎鈥 鈥揂rmored-Up exhorting our students to 鈥減ut on the whole armor of God鈥 as they attempt to live out our guard charge each day.
