Bringing Community Back!
Lower School
After a year on pause, Charlotte Christian has been filled with joy and excitement as students began participating in their beloved athletic and co-curricular activities. Although continuing to look different with masks and social distancing, nothing stayed in the way of the special and ever-lasting memories being made between students and faculty members. One of this past semester’s highlights was the continued tradition of dedicating one week in September to fun, games and spiritual growth. The lower school spent S.L.A.M. days playing games and hearing a great message, while the middle and upper school took a turn heading up the mountains to Windy Gap, competing in class competitions and hearing the Lord’s message from amazing speakers.
During S.L.A.M. (spiritual life and meaning) lower school students dressed up in their class colors, competed in different activities while cheering on their classmates and listened to a devotion from Lower School Spiritual Life Director Christina Sachtleben. Each day they had fun together and listened to a message on Lamentations 3:22 and God’s great mercy “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, His mercies never come to an end.”

First grade student Ari Williams shared about the fun-filled days. “We got to wear white, but I wish it was pink. I got to do a game where we had to take the teachers a bandaid on a scooter.” The lower schoolers also participated in the second annual Fall Fun Day. They spent the day bonding with their classmates in the beautiful fall weather. The cupcake walk was a class favorite, as the lower school students had the opportunity to win sweet treats brought in by parents. Although there were a few changes to keep everyone safe and healthy, the lower school students kept their spirits bright and cheerful during this first semester. “I won a cupcake…twice! I never won the cakewalk at Knightsfest so I was so excited to win one at the fall festival,” said fifth grader Mason Ledford.
