CLASSROOM CORNER

Chemistry – Yorkville Christian High School Chemistry classes, under the direction of Mr Fred Versluys, recently completed a specific heat lab.  Using the process of calorimetry, students were determining the heat capacity and specific heat of various metals.  Percentage error from actual data would also be determined as would determining how these terms integrate into the “real world.”  It was another wonderful example of hands-on learning for students!

Honors Physics – The Yorkville Christian High School Honors Physics class, under the instruction of Dr. Ryan Hooper, recently completed a rotational motion lab in class.  The students were asked to find out if the rotational acceleration of a system is constant, and they were asked to measure the torque created by the rotational sensor’s bearings.  The Honors Physics class at Yorkville Christian is taught by Dr. Ryan Hooper, who is a Professor of Physics at Lewis University. Yorkville Christian students can earn college credit by completing the Honors Physics course in high school.  We thank Dr. Hooper for all of his efforts with our students, and for providing this amazing opportunity for our students through Lewis University.

Geometry – Geometry students were asked to research and construct their own unique kite.  Students were studying various polygons including the kite.  Students were given a couple days to construct their kites and then the class went outside and flew the kites.  Students were graded on the construction of the kite and received additional points for whether or not it stayed airborne.  It was a fun activity and a great way for students to learn about polygons.  Special thanks to Mrs. Tickel for her creativity with the lesson.

Honors Introduction to Coaching – On April 19, Jack Fitzgerald, an NBA scout for the Miami Heat, came to Yorkville Christian High School to talk to Mr. Sovern’s Honors Introduction to Coaching class.  Coach Fitzgerald spoke to the students about what his job as an NBA scout entailed, and spoke to the students about coach/player relationships, as Coach Fitzgerald spoke about his relationship with NBA Hall of Famer, Dwyane Wade, who Coach Fitzgerald coached in high school. It was a great experience for our students.  Special thanks to Coach Fitzgerald for sharing his wealth of knowledge with our students.

Animal Science 2 – The Yorkville Christian High School Animal Science 2 class recently spent the day at the Brookfield Zoo observing animal habitats and investigating careers in veterinary and zoology.  This long-awaited trip was a culmination of units studied including Animal Classification and Body Systems, Zoology, Illinois Wildlife, Animal and Habitat Conservation, Human Wildlife Conflict and all of the unique characteristics and confirmations of God’s amazing creation that we discuss in class on a daily basis.  Special thanks to Mrs. Stewart and Mrs. Wiesbrook for arranging this amazing trip.

Introduction to Agriculture – On Wednesday, April 27, the Yorkville Christian Introduction to Ag classes visited Fair Oaks Farm.  The students were able to experience the Dairy and Pig Adventure, where they learned about how modern dairy and pig farms operate.  It was a great hands-on learning experience for our students.  Thank you to Mrs. Wiesbrook and Mrs. Stewart for planning the trip, and special thanks to the parents who helped chaperone the trip.

Animal Science – Animal Science students recently learned how to give animals injections by practicing subcutaneous and intramuscular injections on oranges and chicken breasts.  The activity was a great hands-on learning tool to help students understand the process.  Special thanks to Mr. Wiesbrook for the creative lesson plan.

YORKVILLE CHRISTIAN HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS TAKE SENIOR TRIP

On Monday, March 28, 21 members of the senior class departed Yorkville Christian High School for an amazing senior trip.  The group traveled to Mason, Ohio the first day and spent the afternoon and evening at the Great Wolf Lodge in Mason, Ohio.  The students enjoyed the water park, and a wonderful pasta bar for dinner.  

Tuesday morning, the students were able to enjoy the water park again and a taco buffet for lunch, and then at noon the group departed for the Creation Museum in Petersburg, Kentucky.  The visit to the Creation Museum started with a viewing of “The Created Cosmos” Planetarium Show at the Creation Museum, and then students had several hours to enjoy the various indoor and outdoor exhibits of the Creation Museum with their classmates.  The group departed the Creation Museum at 7 pm and spent Tuesday night at the Comfort Suites in Dry Ridge, Kentucky.  The students ate dinner together and then enjoyed various games and activities after dinner.

After enjoying breakfast at the hotel, the group departed the hotel on Wednesday morning and headed for the Ark Encounter in Williamstown, Kentucky.  The students spent seven hours at the Ark Encounter and Zoo, and also enjoyed a lunch buffet at the Ark.  The students had a wonderful day and were amazed at all the fantastic exhibits and activities.  After the day at the Ark, the group departed for the hotel and enjoyed a great dinner and then participated in various activities including swimming and bowling.  It was a very busy but rewarding day!

Thursday morning started with the group enjoying a breakfast at the Hotel Convention Center and then departing for Yorkville Christian High School.  The group stopped at Cracker Barrel for lunch and enjoyed ice cream at Fair Oaks Farm on the trip back to school.  Special thanks to Mrs. Stewart and Mrs. Wiesbrook who not only planned the entire trip, but also chaperoned the group.  We thank the Lord for their dedication to our students and willingness to provide incredible experiences such as these. 

YORKVILLE CHRISTIAN PRINCIPAL, MR. AARON SOVERN, RECOGNIZED BY JUDSON COLLEGE

Aaron Sovern, from Aurora Ill., graduated from Judson in the spring of 2000. He aligned his studies and activities at Judson with his lifelong dream of becoming a teacher and a coach. Aaron joined the Judson Men’s Basketball team and was surprised to find only a few others on the team who also lived in his state during freshman year. “It was a great experience meeting teammates/friends from such diverse backgrounds,” he remarks.Fourteen years after his graduation, Aaron made a big decision. “In 2014, my family and I took a leap of faith as I left a comfortable/secure job in Indian Prairie School District 204 to follow God’s call and assist in starting a Christian high school,” he explains. Aaron is currently working and serving in three positions for the @YorkvilleChristianSchool that he helped develop in Illinois. “We are just beginning our eighth year as a school and it has been awesome to see God at work from the beginning. I serve as the Principal, Athletic Director, and Varsity Boys Basketball Coach.” Starting Yorkville Christian high school was a challenging process, but Aaron had faith in God’s plan and ended up with a career that involves several of his passions. He reflects, “There have been many difficulties and roadblocks along the way, but through it all God’s glory has been on display.” That glory was certainly on display when Yorkville Boys Basketball team won the State Championship for Class 1A. Congratulations to this alumnus who listened to God’s call, worked hard and inspired his team to play hard. Certainly, all things came together for God’s glory.
