The End….Are You Sure?

Big sighs are shared amongst students and faculty as a successful school year ends at Yorkville Christian School.  Memories are now archived in our minds.  “Freedom” is experienced by all – seniors have completed graduation requirements; other students are looking forward to family vacations, summer sports, and/or summer jobs; teachers can relax.  The END is here.

Are you sure?  Though a school year has ended, it is not “the end.”  Summer is a time for Yorkville Christian School administrators and Board to review curriculum, building needs, staffing needs, and financial needs to prepare for the fall term.

Are you sure?  Though you have faithfully prayed, volunteered, and financially supported Yorkville Christian during the year, it is not “the end.”  Your response of support during the summer months is just as crucial as during the school year…you have been and are an important partner in the summer planning that takes place.

Are you sure?  Additionally, your prayers for our staff and students are not “the end,” as even during the summer they are a blessing.  Pray for rest and peace for all.

I recently read the following which, though embarrassed to admit, mirrors my reaction on a busy day, is a reminder how important prayer is for each of us no matter where we are, what time it is, who it is for:

“Holding five items, you scan the store’s crowded checkout lanes and strategically plot your choices.  An express lane opens!  You triumphantly out-maneuver several shoppers and become the second one in line.  Only then you notice the brimming cart ahead of you – the thrill of victory becomes the agony of defeat.  Although tempted to count aloud the woman’s items, you ponder the options…”  What if … she is a single mom, rushing to purchase needed groceries before picking up students?  What if … you prayed for her instead of grumbling?  What if … you prayed for the tired looking cashier, or the upset people behind you, or those who cannot afford to buy even five items?”                   LWML Mission Moments

Your prayers are not “the end,” but, in fact, are the ongoing beginning for each of us, for each day, for each school year.  There would never be enough words to thank you for continuing your partnership with us…your prayers as well as your volunteering and dollar gifts provide the strength for administration and Board to forge ahead and provide an educational environment where students are energized, educated, and prepared to impact the world as His servants.

Have a blessed summer as we continue our prayers for all of our partners….parents, grandparents, and friends….as well as for our students.

Intro to Agriculture Students take Field Trip

At the start of May, the Intro to Agriculture students got to take a highly-anticipated trip to Fair Oaks Farms in Fair Oaks, Indiana. The students learned about the dairy and pig farms through various interactive experiences. First, they went on a tour to the cow barn. A newborn calf was laying with its mother in the birthing barn. Then, they headed to lunch where they sampled delicious snacks made from milk products at the farm. After lunch, they visited the pig barn and witnessed some of the pigs being born! Ice cream followed, and then a visit to the interactive crop experience. The crop experience was full of all sorts of fun, crop-themed games and activities! Some even dressed up as corn cobs and danced around! Then after buying Fair Oaks merchandise from the gift shop, they headed home. A quick side trip to a gas station for a snack break was fun. Students were being silly while they hung out for a few minutes. Every student loved different aspects of the trip and had a great time learning about agriculture and bonding with their peers.

CLASSROOM CORNER

Health Class

The Yorkville Christian High School Health class, under the instruction of Mrs. Schnyders, participated in the “A.C.T. Now” presentation led by Mr. Randy Roberts from the Bristol-Kendall Fire Department.  The lesson gave students a better understanding of the facts on cardiac arrest and what they should do in response, including hands-on CPR experience.  A special thanks to Mr. Roberts for his time, and to Mrs. Schnyders for coordinating this experience for our students

Toy and Game Design

Mr. McDavitt’s Toy and Game Design class recently designed their own games, as a class project.  Students had to prep their game boards, design game instructions, package the game, and test their games by having classmates play the game.  It was a fun and creative way to show the students all that goes into toy and game design.

Life Skills

Mr. Vester’s Life Skills class completed a section on tools and the proper usage for each tool.  The class was introduced to 50 various tools, and learned how each one is used and which jobs each tool is most beneficial to use to complete that particular job(s).  It was a great unit for the students, and the knowledge attained is definitely something they can use for the rest of their lives.

Toy and Game Design

Toy and Game Design students recently presented their “Happy Meal Toy” concepts at a “corporate meeting.”  The students designed and illustrated their toy lines, prepared concept boards, wrote their team presentations and did an excellent job presenting!  As an absolute perfect follow up to this lesson, the very next day, a professional board game designer, Mr. Bob Kamp, came to speak to the students about his work.  Mr. Kamp has designed such board games as Choice Words, Blank Slate, and Ferret Out.  Mr. Kamp’s board game, Blank Slate, has sold over 1,000,000 units and is going to be featured as a new game show on the Game Show Network for 65 episodes, and will be hosted by Mario Lopez.  Mr. Kamp spoke to our students about every step involved with creating your own board game. He covered things like developing a prototype; visiting trade shows to test the product out; meeting with toy production companies to sell the product; how royalties work; and much more. Our students have been working in class on developing their own board games, so this guest could not have been more perfect! Mr. Kamp answered several questions from the students and even played a few rounds of Blank Slate with the students and gave a copy of his Blank Slate game to the winner. We are so grateful for Mr. Kamp for coming out and sharing his real-life experiences with our students.

Intro to Agriculture

Mrs. Stewart’s Intro to Agriculture class visited Fair Oak Farm in Indiana on Wednesday, May 3. The students were able to experience the Dairy and Pig Adventure, where they learned about how modern dairy and pig farms operate.  This was an excellent opportunity for the students to see first-hand the ideas they had been studying in class.  Special thanks to Introduction to Ag teacher, Mrs. Stewart, for coordinating the trip for our students.

SENIOR STUDENTS PRESENT “SENIOR EXIT INTERVIEWS”

All students in the senior class and staff members spent the afternoons of May 9-11 together completing senior exit interviews.  The objective of these interviews was to have every senior present to a panel of staff members explaining how he or she had grown as a scholar, influencer, and disciple of God during his or her time at Yorkville Christian.  Each senior was required to prepare a slideshow presentation and visual aid to help show growth in these areas, and share their personal experiences, as he or she reflected on his or her time at Yorkville Christian High School.  The presentations were amazing, and it was so apparent to see how God is at work in the lives of our students during their time at Yorkville Christian.  It was also great to hear the many stories of the impact teachers have had on the lives of these students during their time at Yorkville Christian, not only in the classroom, but just as importantly, outside the classroom.  Students shared several stories of teachers going above and beyond in the classroom with them, but also many stories were shared about the impact of being on a sports team, part of a club, or serving on mission days had on their spiritual growth.  The three-day exercise was an incredibly rewarding one, not only for the students, but the staff as well.  The students did an wonderful job, and it was very easy to see that they are prepared for the next phase of their lives, and are excited to carry out God’s plans for their futures.

Physical Science

Physical Science students, under the direction of Mr. Versluys, recently completed a lab to discover the boiling point of various solutions.  They also investigated if adding salt changes the boiling point?  The students really enjoyed the hands-on learning experience.

Health Class

Health students dissected cow eyes as part of their eye health unit.  Students learned about the structures and functions of the parts of the eye, disorders that can impact eyesight, and healthy habits for healthy eyes.  Students in the class, taught by Mrs. Schnyders, really enjoyed getting a close up look at how the eye works.

Biblical Studies

Mrs. Sovern’s Biblical Studies classes recently had a guest speaker who shared his faith walk and how the Lord has worked through him the past few years of his life.  The guest speaker was Christian Sovern (Yorkville Christian Class of 2020), and he shared how God had been at work in his life over the past few years and how the experiences he went through helped grow his faith.  The presentation was an excellent resource to students, as they prepared their faith reflections as a culminating project for the class.

Biology

Mrs. Schnyders recently had her Biology students dissect pigs following the completion of their Body Systems unit.  Students identified the organs from each of the systems and got a real life visual of how the various organs are connected.  The students really enjoyed the lab!

YORKVILLE CHRISTIAN SENIORS ENJOY SPECIAL TRIP

Members of the Yorkville Christian High School senior class embarked on an incredible trip from April 26-28.  The group departed Yorkville Christian on Wednesday morning and traveled to Florence, Kentucky.  Upon arriving in Florence, the group participated in a team building activity at Sherlock’s Escape Rooms.  The group enjoyed a pizza dinner at the hotel and then headed out to Top Golf for an evening of fun.

Thursday was a very adventurous day, as the group departed early for the Ark Encounter in Williamstown, Kentucky.  The seniors enjoyed the Ark Encounter experience which included a virtual reality and zoo and lunch buffet.  Other activities included various shows, self-guided tours, and camel rides.  The group spent the afternoon at the Eagle’s Nest Aerial Course at the Ark Encounter.  After a time of swimming and a cook out at the hotel, the group spent the evening at the Full Throttle Adrenaline Park, which included such activities as high speed go karts and axe throwing!

Friday morning brought another early departure for the group, as they visited the Creation Museum and enjoyed “The Created Cosmos” Planetarium Show at the Creation Museum.  Following this powerful show, the students were able to enjoy the Screaming Raptor Zip Lines at the Creation Museum.  The group enjoyed several other activities at the museum, before departing for home around 5 pm.

This trip was an incredible experience for our students.  Some of the comments senior students shared upon returning from the trip included the following:

“I love that Yorkville Christian keeps Jesus at the center of things, and this trip was just another example of that.”

“I loved seeing the ark.  It made the Bible come to life for me.”

We thank God for providing safe travels for our students and staff, and we thank our chaperones for their help with this trip.  A special thanks for Mrs. Stewart and Mrs. Wiesbrook for planning and organizing the entire trip!  What great memories for our seniors!
