Hillsdale students present a program on Moses’ life

Amy Campbell’s third grade class at Hillsdale Christian School presented a chapel program Jan. 7.

The center of the program focused on Moses and the life of faith he led. A skit was performed by the students. Characters were narrator, Jayden Dillon; angels, Jessica Buller, Lauren Bonine, Carissa Streck, Elah Alcuitas, Heather McCullough and Peyton Watkins; Moses, Brendan Zelnicek; and people in Moses’ life, Montell Meyer, Joshua Reimer and Joseph Smith.

A video of all the students performing acts that represented good choices and bad choices was shown. The class then recited Matthew 5:16. Jett Thompson, the 12th member of the class, was ill and not present to perform.

Patty Means’ Hillsdale Christian School kindergarten class walked to the post office Jan. 9 as part of their study of community helpers. Patricia Janes, postmaster, explained to the 13 students different aspects of the post office. In the classroom before the trip, each student made a mailbag and wrote a letter. They mailed the letter while at the post office.

The students took their monthly mission trip Jan. 16 to Cherokee Manor. Each one made a bear holding a Bible with “Love Bears All Things” printed on the bear. After singing to residents and distributing the bears, the students visited Cherokee Police Depart-ment to learn about another community helper. They met the mayor of Cherokee, saw the inside of an ambulance and learned about the 911 system.
