Today’s chapel was powerful! We reflected on Joshua 1:9 — “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” 💪✨
Huge thanks to Pastor Joe Johnson from Parkside Bible for blessing our students with this encouraging message and sharing the incredible story behind the verse.
And yes… we even had a real-life Jordan River crossing — with Julie playing the role of the river! 😂🌊

Today we celebrate Mrs. DeYoung — not just an Administrative Assistant, but the heart of our school.
She’s the quiet strength behind so much of what makes South Olive special. In a recent conversation, Deanne shared how deeply she cares for every child here — saying she feels personally responsible for each one. When they hurt, she hurts.
Though her own children have graduated, she remains faithfully committed to our school, simply because she loves it — and believes in its mission. That kind of dedication comes from a truly special, Godly woman.
Please take a moment to thank Mrs. DeYoung today. She cares for your children as if they were her own — and we are so blessed by her presence every single day. 💛

O death, where is your sting?"
He is risen, and the grave has no hold on us.
Happy Easter from your South Olive Christian School Family!

Mrs. Walters’ third grade class poured their hearts into building the Easter story with LEGOs—one day of Holy Week at a time. They thoughtfully explored Jesus’ journey to the cross, reflecting deeply on His love and sacrifice. Amazing job, third graders! We’re so grateful to see our students growing in both heart and mind for Christ. #Easter #easterweekend #easteregghunt #eastersunday #Holy #Week #holyweek #EasterCelebration

The Easter story can spark big questions in little minds. That’s why our Kindergarten class did this meaningful, hands-on lesson—simple, visual, and full of truth.
In this activity:
🪙 The penny = us
🌈 Colored water = sin
🕯️ The candle = Jesus
🥤 The cup = His sacrifice
As Jesus gave His life, He took our sin with Him. What a powerful way to help our littles see and understand His love. 🙌🏼

Our K–2 students had the BEST time on their field trip to the Critter Barn! 🐐🐓🐄
They learned all about what it takes to care for a farm and discovered how God created each animal with a special and unique purpose. 🌾💛
Thank you, Critter Barn, for such a hands-on and memorable experience!
