May God bless your family abundantly during 2013 for your commitment to Him and your gift of a Christian college-preparatory education to your children. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:13-14

Under the direction of Mrs. Nancy Casey, lower school students entertained a full house in the high school ministry building at Woodlands Church with the musical production, The Secret of Snowflake County. The story takes place in Snowflake County where Christmas celebrations have become so over the top that they threaten to overshadow the real reason for Christmas. After a series of crazy mishaps, the townspeople finally stop and realize that Christmas isn’t about how brightly the lights shine, it’s about Jesus! The audience enjoyed performances by students in PreK-4 through 5th grade. Congratulations to the Lower School Music Department on another fantastic production and many thanks to all those who put in so many hours to make The Secret of Snowflake County such a tremendous success!
