Great Start for the School Year

This year is off to a great start! We are beginning to get into a routine and getting acquainted with our teachers and new classmates! We've hit the ground running with lots of assignments and projects. Fall sports are in full gear, and auditions are being held for the first play of the year. My soccer team is getting ready for an overnight trip to Jackson, TN to play University School of Jackson and Sacred Heart of Jesus High School. Friday will be our first pep rally to fire up the football team for the first home game. Homecoming is just a few weeks away, and the planning has already started!

I'm so grateful to God for this school and for my helpful, Godly teachers. I'm looking forward to a great year with a busy schedule of academics, drama, and sports!

Senior Retreat

Our senior class just returned from the annual senior retreat at Camp Cordova. We all thoroughly enjoyed the trip and the time we had to focus on strengthening our bond with each other.  As a class, we decided on the theme, Avalanche, with aspirations for our class to have a snowball effect on the younger grades and make history at Northpoint Christian School. With two inspiring messages and moving times of worship, our grade not only made a deeper connection on the surface but also spiritually. Although I have been a member of this class for the last thirteen years, I saw the relationships between class members change greatly over this trip. I cannot wait to take on the rest of senior year with this amazing group of people!

I am finally a SENIOR!

I am so excited about what is in store for this school year. Certainly it is going to be busy for the class of 2015 as we navigate through college and career decisions, maintain our GPA, and enjoy the extracurricular activities. My classmates and I will soon attend the senior retreat where we decide on our class verse and theme, which sets the foundation for our class. Homecoming is another hallmark activity of the year; it will will take place in September. As a theatre person, I am anticipating the fun we will have as we participate in the spring musical. However, the best thing my classmates and I are looking forward to this year is GRADUATION! Northpoint Christian School has provided all students with a strong foundation in God, academics, and leadership. Whatever your interests may be, there is something for every senior and all students at Northpoint Christian School. I encourage all seniors to get involved, make lifelong friends and wonderful memories, and have a fantastic senior year.

This was a great school year!

Due to preparations for and the final exams next week, there will be no more student blogs. The students have enjoyed writing them, so look for the blogs again beginning in September.

The Last Blog of the Year

I am very honored because I am the last student blogger of the year, but I’m not sure that I’m ready to be a sophomore yet (I am getting SO old). This past week was great personally because I celebrated my birthday. The Student Council at Northpoint Christian School gives parents an option of paying for balloons to be delivered to their child on his/her birthday. So I received birthday balloons. I also received a birthday card from the president of the school. This coming week is going to be very busy for the whole school, but especially for our seniors. They have graduation ceremonies this Saturday! That’s crazy, right? As we get closer to the end of the school year, I would like to encourage all of the students, faculty, and parents to finish the year as strong as you started it, giving all the glory to God. I hope the remainder of the 2013-2014 school year is great for you and that you have a fantastic summer, too!

Home Missions Trip to Nashville

The Home Missions team had the great opportunity to spread the word of God in the city of Nashville. On the first day of the trip, we helped with the Bridge Ministry by serving food, leading people to their seats, and helping with any basic needs. We participated with the ministry in a church service under a bridge in downtown Nashville for homeless people. The next day, we served lunch to homeless men at the Nashville Rescue Center. After lunch, we went to four different areas in Nashville and prayed for all the lost people, the local churches, and the community as a whole. Then, we went to the Kirkpatrick Center and learned a skit that we performed that night at the Nashville Rescue Center. The head of On-the-Go Ministries taught us how to talk to people about our faith and lead them to Christ. We also played with kids at the Kirkpatrick Center. Later that night, we went back to the Nashville Rescue Center where Coach Corbett preached and three people gave their testimonies. We were able to stand in the back of the church and reach out to people who walked by, encourage them, and pray with them. The third day was a service project day. In the morning, we went to the Feed the Children ministry and organized boxes in their warehouse. In the afternoon, we went to the Soles for Souls warehouse to organize and pack shoes for shipment. The last day, we went back to the Soles for Souls warehouse to help unload a truck full of shoes and organize them. The Home Missions trip was definitely an amazing and eye-opening experience. It really made me more thankful for the little things in life. I definitely grew a lot in my faith and learned how much impact a simple smile on your face can make to other people.
