Spirit Week was a blast. It ended with a fantastic finale. During the pep rally that took place in the gym, a few representatives from each grade presented the class banner. Mrs. Stagno introduced each one and they all received applause for their hard work.
The 3rd grade class banner showing how they all run for Christ!
The 4th grade banner showcases how they are strengthened for battle by God.
Many of the classes also planned cheers, songs, and dances to present for extra spirit points. It is always fun to see the little kids shout their cheers!

The class who won the banner was 7th grade. Their banner included the boys as soldiers and the girls as angels watching over them as they all fought against sin. This banner had a lot of scripture representing the theme. At the bottom of the banner was a fire filled with the words such as the following: gossiping, lying, cheating, cruelty, hatred, and pride. The main verse they followed was Joel 2:11a, which says, "The Lord thunders at the head of His army; His forces are beyond number, and mighty is the army that obeys His command" (NIV).
Although we were all winners, we had to choose final winners for each grade cluster. The participation for each day was tallied and then added to the score for the class banner. The three highest scores were as follows: Pre-K with a total of 716 points, 3rd grade with a total of 732 points, and 8th grade with a total of 761 points! Congratulations to those grades!
After the scores were announced, we had a little bit of time before dismissal. Mrs. Stagno asked the students if they had any songs to share, and this began an impromptu praise session. This tied up a wonderful week, and we are all so proud of each class who participated.
Matthew Esposito and Gabriel Oliveira sing "Trading My Sorrows."
Mrs. Stagno and Christina Anderson sing "This Little Light of Mine."
Pastor Perez leads the students in a song very fitting for this year's Spirit Week theme, "I'm In the Lord's Army."
