Going into next year, we have two head coaches who have decided to step down from their respective positions. Denise Nerem, Head girls basketball coach, and Kevin Caspersen, Head soccer coach. Their commitment to our student-athletes has been amazing. They have been an extension of the classroom with their commitment to doing things the right way. We can’t thank both of them enough for the time commitment they have given to our programs. We are thankful for Denise’s leadership during her tenure as our Head Girls basketball coach. Her impact on Girl’s in our school has been very crucial for many. Her ability to teach basketball, along with life lessons, and create spiritual growth will be severely missed. We can’t thank Kevin enough for the contribution he made for the soccer program. His knowledge of soccer, ability to teach the game, passion for the game, and ability to help young men grow has been an asset to our athletic department. We are thankful for his dedication to our program. We will be accepting applications for both positions. If you are interested in either position, please reach out to Mr. Vande Kamp. If you know of anyone who would be a good candidate, please connect with Mr. Vande Kamp, so he can reach out to that individual.

High School Fine Art's Chapel, Thursday, April 22... where we were able to focus on God the colorful creator who created us with a variety of talents and gifts. Genesis 1 - In the beginning, God created all things..... which we can celebrate and give Him praise. During the chapel we heard from the winning Den Ouden Writing selections - Wyatt Decker, Micah Schaap, Sydney Van Essen, Julianne Eisma, Taylor De Boer and Kathryn Prins, enjoyed musical selections from Mrs. Feikema and Kathryn Prins on flute, the One Accord group, and the Bel Canto assemble. The Triple A winner from SWC, Makenzie Snyder, was also recognized, and we were able to enjoy a segment of the upcoming SWC Spring Play - "Choose Your Own Oz". We also sang songs of praise and responsive readings of giving grateful praise from the Psalms. On display were some of the projects the Art and Shop students have been working on throughout this year. May everyone continue to ask the Lord to inspire us to identify what are our passions, hobbies, skills, knowledge and expertise so that with His help, guidance, protection, and governance, we may serve other people and also inspire others to make good use of their talents.
