FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL

Dear CDS Community, In March I wrote a Friday Reflection for the CDS community about an alumna who is engaging the world in a manner reflective of the Covenant Day School Portrait of a Graduate. The Portrait is an expression of the hopes, prayers, and desires the teachers, staff, and board of trustees have for our students both now, during their college years, and throughout their lives. In short, the Portrait sets goals for our young men and women to: • • • • • •
Pursue biblical wisdom Follow Christ and His ways Learn with a purpose in mind Engage culture Communicate effectively Serve others as Christ has first served us
While I suspect the alumna I mentioned doesn’t get up every morning and read through the Portrait, it is our hope that the many teaching moments each student receives at CDS, including godly mentoring from teachers, chapels, games, and musicals, all become part of a large mosaic of building toward a biblical worldview. In that sense, our young alumna has received godly instruction in the Lord from CDS, her church, parents, community, and God’s Word. Subsequently, it should be no surprise when a young person connects career, challenges, disappointments, serving others, or stepping out in faith to love a neighbor when the Holy Spirit prompts action. In the pages of this edition of the Classic, I ask you to look at the stories and the photographs, consider the names and the accomplishments, imagine the challenges and struggles, and join me in thanking the Lord for allowing each of us, in community, to do our part in preparing young people for kingdom service to the glory of God. And let us all, with joyful hearts, give thanks to the Lord for His goodness to our children. Sincerely, Mark Davis
