HIGH SCHOOL CHAPEL
Tuesday: MRS. PIERSMA. We had an emotional health chapel from a Christian perspective. Mrs. Piersma shared about the prevalence of mental health conditions among high school students. Then we heard from students who struggle. They were interviewed before chapel and then other students read their responses in chapel to preserve their anonymity. “What is your biggest struggle?” and “Where do you feel most misunderstood?” were some of the questions. Mrs. Piersma & Mrs. VanStee then shared about how to support students who struggle, when to seek help and what difference should a Christian school make. Chapel ended with teachers and students praying for targeted areas of struggle, like anxiety and depression.
Thursday: ASIAN/PACIFIC ISLANDER HERITAGE CHAPEL. Our opening prayer was in English and Mandarin. Students led us in singing Hosanna in the Highest and included six Asian languages. Daisy shared about life in Hong Kong and how our Christian perspective helps us all to humbly learn from one another and be united in Christ.
MIDDLE SCHOOL
Wednesday: VANDENBERG HOMEROOM. The theme of the chapel? To be a witness for Jesus, we need courage & boldness. One of the high points of the chapel was three girls who personally shared how they are being challenged to be a bold witness. Unusual chapel event: the fire alarm went off! We had 5+ minutes outside. Fortunately, there was no fire in the building and it was not raining outside.
