Donna Thomason’s pre-kindergarten class at Hillsdale Christian School performed a chapel program on April 30. Salutes to the American flag, Christian flag and Bible were led by Jack McCoy, Ashlan Light and Nathan Campbell. The opening prayer was given by Shay Skaggs. The theme of the chapel was “Joshua and the People.” The 10 students began by singing, “The Lord’s Army” and “Joshua Fought the Battle of Jericho.” As Mrs. Thomason narrated, the students performed a skit about Joshua and the people marching around the wall of Jericho until the Lord made the wall fall. Students in the class are Kailee Buller, Nathan Campbell, Ethan Carpenter, David Dupire, Ashlan Light, Jack McCoy, August Roggow, Logan Seek, Shay Skaggs and Emma Tennell.
