so proud

I've seen so much growth in our students this week. After having the opportunity to speak with several of the kids and watching them work in these local missions projects this week, I am further encouraged by the type of students we have at SCS. They really are exceptional. I spoke to so many people that have made their life's work serving their community, and to hear each of them talk about how impressive our kids are and to hear genuine feedback that was consistently positive was so encouraging to me. The softball girls, for instance, had such a wonderful experience speaking with the seniors over at Heritage Oaks in Arlington that they are planning a return visit on their own time. They ran into a special lady they called "Mrs. Georgia" who is turning 96 in May. She told them about her life as a slave and some of the atrocities she saw - but spoke more about her relationship with Christ and her love of God. Dare I say that this kind of education does not happen within the walls of our wonderful school, you have to get uncomfortable and step outside of your normal boundaries to get an education like that...here is a pic of the girls with Mrs. Georgia and a small video clip of her speaking with them. Enjoy.
