DCS Christmas Musical - Friday, December 14



It was a wonderful program this year. This years' theme was "It All Happened in the Country."  Many joined us in hearing the story of Jesus' birth in a new way.  There was a 2:00p.m. & 7:30 p.m. program.

 

Summary of the musical: Two city kids learn the true meaning of Christmas when their parent's car breaks down and they are left to stay with some country folks. Through the conversations and songs the city kids realize that they have been missing the true story.

Giving Hope to the Dunnville Community

There are some lessons that are taught outside the classroom, and that is one of the true spirit and blessing of giving to those in need. Some lyrics of a song come to mind, "and they will know we are Christians by our love." May God bless the coats, hats, mitts and food that were collected to help those in need this winter season. Our school collected these items for about 3 weeks. All items were brought to our local Salvation Army on Friday morning on December 7.

Boys Volleyball Tournament - Dec. 8, 2012

The grade 7/8 boys did a fantastic job yesterday. They worked hard and finished in third place out of nine teams. The day was very entertaining and many supporters came to support DCS. Thanks to Mrs. Vanderwier for coaching the boys this year! Enjoy these pictures taken at the tournament.

 

Science Fair - November 21

Every year in November our Grade 7/8 students complete Science Fair projects that test a variety of scientific experiments including many different topics. This year, we were once again marveled at the creativity that our students are capable of. Here are a few of the projects for you to see. All projects were judged in the morning, graded on their written and oral presentation, as well as their artistic back drops. In the afternoon, all students were delighted with a presentation by the Mad Science Guy. He performed a variety for science experiments and even some explosions. It was thoroughly enjoyed by all the staff and students. A HUGE thank you to our science fair judges this year!

Learning about Korean Culture

Hi, I'm Miss Han. I am doing my intern at Dunnville Christian School for 5 months. During my time, I'll introduce to the students about Korean culture, clothing and food. It has been a good experience so far. In the pictures below, I am introducing about Korean traditional dress, which is called Hanbok to the Grade 1 & 2 classroom. They learned about Hanbok and tried to wear it as well. Also, they had a chance to color the Hanbok, as you can see below. In Grade 3 & 4, I have showed the students how to make miniature Korean masks. It was a good craft, and the boys and girls all enjoyed it.

In September, Dunnville Christian School along with many other schools had the wonderful opportunity to go to Smithville District High School and listen to the Momentum Choir.

 

Momentum choir was established in the Niagara Region in 2007, through the vision of Executive and Artistic Director Mendelt D. Hoekstra, with the assistance of Bethesda Community Services and a grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation. It is a registered charitable organization and operates under the guidance of a Board of Directors.

Momentum’s mission is to provide an authentic musical experience in which the gifts of unique artists can be professionally nurtured, and through which the artists can be given the opportunity to belong, believe and inspire.

Since its inception, Momentum has grown to include over 45 talented singers and musicians who are passionate about sharing their joy in music with the world. It has become a sought-after choir that carefully chooses the events and venues at which it will perform.

Our BEAUTIFUL flower gardens

Grade 1/2 students made very beautiful flower gardens when learning about plants. They had to show the roots as well as some pollinators. Here are some of their pictures. When you come to DCS, there are many others decorating our school in the hallways.



 

 

The Pumpkin Gospel Story

 

 

The Story of a New Start with God

By Mary Manz Simon

 

 

My big round pumpkin shows me

God gives us a clean heart.

He will forgive our mess ups.

He offers a new start.

 

"wash me until I am clean and

whiter than snow." Psalm 51:7

 

 

The slime that fills the pumpkin,

all stringy slippery goo,

reminds me of my insides

before God makes me new.

 

"Now you are set free from sin." Romans 6:18

 

 

 

I scoop out the mushy gushies

like God cleans out my sin.

When He says, "I forgive you,"

I smile with a big grin.

 

"Our God you bless every one whose sin you

forgive and wipe away." Psalm 32:1

 

Come look into my pumpkin,

He's all clean inside.

And on the outside he is wearing

a smile that's big and wide.

 

"shout praises to the Lord!" Psalm 149:1

 

 

God's love is like a candle

that shines from the inside out.

It's beaming deep within me,

And so now I can shout!

 

"You are like a light for the whole world." Matthew 5:14

 

To glow like my big pumpkin

and have a nice clean heart,

ask God to please forgive you

you'll have a brand new start.

 

"act like people of the light and make your light shine." Ephesians 5:8

Cross Country Meets 2012 - Brantford & Dundas

This year our cross country team consisted of 25 students. We competed in two meets this season. On October 12, at Brantford Christian School, we had a great day and finished with senior girls & senior boys coming in first place. The junior girls came in second place.

 

On October 19, we travelled again by bus to Dundas Conservation Area. This meet invited 21 school to participate. Once again, our students did an amazing job. The junior girls came in first place, the senior boys placed second and the senior girls received third place. To complete the day, Dunnville Christian School came in second place over all schools that day! We are so proud of our cross country team! Congratulations!
