Hello TCS families. I trust everyone had a good last week of school. It is hard to believe that we are wrapping up another year. Thank you for allowing us to minister to your family. We hope that you enjoy your summer, and we look forward to seeing you back next year. May the Lord richly bless each of you. Hebrews 12:2 says, “Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God”. Here are a few news items we wanted to share with you.

Elementary Art:
All of the elementary students were able to "wave goodbye" to their current grade and "say hello" to the next while creating their art project this week. Each student was reminded of God's promise to them in Joshua 1:9 stating that God is them wherever they go.
Chemistry Activity:
The chemistry class studied solutions and freezing point depression this year. Today they applied what they learned and had fun making and eating ice cream.
Middle School Computer Classes:
In the middle school computer classes, we discussed how good computer programming is essential, but a good design is also necessary. The last two days of their classes, they worked on STEM projects that centered around good design. The first challenge was a paper airplane competition. The second challenge was a build a tower competition. In the build a tower competition, the towers needed to be able to hold a golf ball at the top for two minutes. The students did a great job!
Illustrator Project:
This was our first year for a full semester Illustrator course held entirely at TCS! The four students who remained after the seniors' last day, completed a project that consisted of creating a design to be applied on a t-shirt. We were quite pleased with how they turned out. Great job students!
