Huron Christian School news for June It must be close to the end of the school year. Every week, another class seems to be away on a class trip. What a great way to tie in hands on learning with something we're doing in class. Here's where we've traveled this spring: -JK to Home Hardware in Clinton to get supplies for their unit on sound. -SK to Hansen's grocery store in Exeter as part of their "Healthy Me" studies, and then to a class member's farm to introduce the "Ani- mals on the Farm" unit. -Grade 1/2 enjoyed a visit to Wawanosh, to kick off their exploration of the ani- mal world. -Grade 3 traveled to Lon- don to visit Fanshawe Pio- neer Village to wrap up their unit on Pioneer Life. -Grade 4 went to London Children's Museum to par- ticipate in activities related to their social science studies. -Grade 5/6 enjoyed their visit to the Ontario Science Centre in Toronto. -Grade 7/8 spent three full days away on their Ottawa/ Montreal trip. Our top finishers at our local Track and Field meet traveled to Strathroy in early June to compete against the best from six other Christian schools in the District. While the team didn't fare so well this year, there were a lot of excellent individual performances from the Huron group. Graduation at Huron Christian School is a com- munity event. The SK class graduate to full time school, and we celebrated with 16 students and their families. In the evening we said good- bye to 11 grade 8 students who will be moving on to a variety of different high schools. It's been a busy and event filled year at Huron Christian School, and it is quickly draw- ing to a close. The big announcement at the end of this school year is that the school board has voted in favour of moving ahead with phase two of our building plan. This will involve renova- tions and building on to the existing school with the capi- tal fundraising drive kicking off in September of 2016. As we wrap up this school year, we are thankful for God's faithful promises to each one of us. We've experienced safety on the roads for our five buses as they traveled all over Huron County picking up our 145 students. We've experienced a great year of exploring and discov- ering new things about God's creation. We've grown physically, emotionally and spiritually. We've developed new relationships. We've had opportunities to serve in our school and in the Huron County community. This 54th year at Huron Christian School has been a blessing from God in so many ways. We look forward to shar- ing about our school when we return in September.
