Girlypop by Natalie G.

Girlypop

To Sophie G.

My girlypop, my bestie
I hug you every morning

We worked together in Virginia
Everyday it is nice to see ya

You color code all your outfits
You match your shirt with your bracelets

I love how you make me laugh even when I’m crying
Oh how you soar, the gravity your defying

Looking in your camera every morning, checking on your hair
If people call you ugly, they are surely unaware

Of how beautiful you are, you shine through and through
I can’t believe that I have a girlypop, and that girlypop is you

My Co-House leader, my partner in crime
I love that we are besties in this short amount of time

So thank you for listening to my rhyme
Girlypop, you are the ultimate prime

Remembering the Holocaust

Eight Grade Language Arts students recently took a field trip to the Holocaust Museum in Maitland. Following their visit, students discussed why the Holocaust is an important lesson that should be studied in school. The information and ideas gathered will be used for their Holocaust panel presentation that focuses on finding hope in times of despair. Here are some great points made by the students:

  • The purpose of studying the Holocaust is to teach children that one person can make a difference and people possess the power to make their own choices and control their own behaviors.
  • When we allow prejudice to thrive, lives are at stake, and as shown during the Holocaust, millions of lives were lost due to one man’s crazy ideology.
  • Bystanders are just as guilty as perpetrators.
  • By studying the Holocaust, children can learn how to confront present concerns involving loyalty, peer pressure, conformity, belonging, and scapegoating. When faced with these concerns, children can remember the fate of the Holocaust victims, and rather than choose to ignore the wrongdoings of others, they can take action and help to create better situations for those who are victimized.
  • It is important to study and remember the mistakes made in the past so that we never repeat them.
  • In an effort to honor Holocaust victims, we can celebrate the freedom to choose to act in the face of prejudice so that fateful events such as the Holocaust will never happen again.

Seussical, the Musical! Casting Call

Casting Call for TCS Students to join Seussical, the Musical!
Seussical debuted on Broadway in 2000 and is now one of the most performed shows in America! Grades 4-8 are invited to join this fantastical musical extravaganza, abridged for young performers and full of fun, colorful characters. Tony winners, Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty have lovingly brought to life all of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters, including Horton the Elephant, The Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, Lazy Mayzie, and a little boy with a big imagination – Jojo. 

The Christ School is excited to partner with Truthbase Theatricals to bring this opportunity to The Christ School community! The performance is scheduled for April 19, 2023.

Grades 4-8: All participating students will be cast as a role (or multiple roles) in the show. Rehearsals will take place on Wednesdays from 3:00 to 5:30 pm starting January 18 for 13 weeks. Students who wish to audition for a lead or featured role are invited to audition separately on Monday, January 23, from 3:00 to 5:30 pm. Students cast in lead roles will also need to be available on the first Monday of each month (February, March, April) from 3:00 to 5:30 pm for additional rehearsals. Preview the full rehearsal schedule, audition materials, and register to participate here!

Grades TK-3: Stay tuned for more information about Seuss-themed Academy classes this spring! Seuss Academy classes will be one hour in length on Wednesdays. Grades 2-3 will perform as The Who’s (tiny citizens of Whoville) in Seussical and TK-1 will perform their Showcase as pre-show entertainment.

Welcome Brittney Reinholt, School Counselor

We are thrilled to welcome Brittney Reinholt, M.A. to The Christ School family as our School Counselor. Brittney graduated from Colorado Christian University with a Masters in Mental Health Counseling, has her undergraduate degree from the University of Georgia in Language Education, and has experience in both pastoral and clinical counseling. Brittney is passionate about helping children and adolescents navigate the challenges they face. She enjoys being a listening ear, coming up with practical solutions, and instilling confidence and resilience to help youth overcome challenges. She loves partnering with families and being a cheerleader for children in their learning environment. 

Through Brittney’s own counseling journey, she has first-hand knowledge of how healing it is to be seen and heard by a caring counselor. Her personal experiences with counseling and the healing it brought in her life led her to pursue counseling as a career. Brittney and her husband (also a counselor) served together in full-time ministry for nearly a decade and had the opportunity to live in Spain and travel throughout Latin America and Europe. She gained significant experience through her ministry involvement and travels. 

In her free time, Brittney loves to go to the beach and spend time with her husband, Trevor, and their Goldendoodle, Teddy. She is involved at her church and enjoys exploring new restaurants. Brittney is looking forward to being a part of The Christ School and a part of your child’s social emotional learning journey.
