School Theme ‘Be the light!’
Classroom Work
This week, students continued to explore and reflect on our school theme, "Be the Light!". Some classes have interviewed family members to share personal stories about a time when someone was a source of light during a difficult moment. Other classes have focused on Old Testament scriptures, where we learn about God creating light for the world.
