t is hard to believe we've almost reached the halfway point of this school year. Even with all the chaos in the world around us, we are still finding ways to have fun at school while being safe. Here's a bit of what we've been up to since September at SSCS. Indoors, we are keeping our distance while covering curriculum, boom whacking, bell ringing, painting with leaves, learning American Sign Language, making cards for those with special needs, completing crafts, participating in school-wide theme days

within our cohorts, and having fun exploring our STEAM lab. We have also been able to enjoy the outdoors. In the warmer weather, we did our very own Terry Fox Run in our field. Students ran 40 laps, classroom cohorts did their own 40 activities, and we raised money for the Terry Fox Foundation. The grade 4–6 class explored ecosystems in science, using the outdoors as their teacher. Now that winter has arrived, we're enjoying getting bundled up for recess to sled down the hill and make snow angels.
While this year has been full of changes being thrown at all of us, we are reminded of our God who never changes. "'I am the Alpha and the Omega,' says the Lord God, 'who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty'" (Revelation 1:8, ESV). Until the day He returns, at SSCS, we continue to educate our kids for eternity and encourage them to cling to the God who remains constant, even in the continuously changing world. — Submitted by Martha Boehner, Head Teacher, Southside Christian School
