Happy Birthday to our one-of-a-kind Kindergarten queen, Mrs. Kohl 💜🎉
A proud SOCS alum (K–8!) who now pours love right back into the next generation.
You laugh hardest at the stories your Kinders bring from home (the best kind of comedy 😛), treasure time with your family, and somehow make every little heart feel seen, safe, and celebrated.
We are so grateful for you today and every day. Happiest of birthdays, Mrs. Kohl—our kids are blessed beyond words to have you! 🎂✨
Merry Christmas from all of us at South Olive Christian School!
Thank you for being part of our SOCS family. May your Christmas be filled with joy, wonder, and the hope we have in Jesus.

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Ken Koetsier, a longtime board member, faithful servant, and passionate advocate for Christian education at South Olive Christian School.
Ken gave generously of his time, talents, and treasures, always serving with humility, encouragement, and a deep love for Christ. His legacy lives on through his family, his service, and the countless lives he impacted within our SOCS community.
One of Ken’s favorite reminders to us was this:
“It’s not that we have to do it — we get to do it.”
We are grateful for his example, his faith, and his heart for this school. Please join us in lifting the Koetsier family up in prayer as we grieve, remember, and give thanks for a life well lived.
Your generosity makes real life change possible.
Every gift matters. Every child matters.
Help us finish 2025 strong.

On this snowy, blustery last day before break, we unleashed the Grinch, passed out treats, sipped on Grinch Juice, and sent our students into Christmas break with full hearts and sticky fingers. 🎄😆
Stay safe, stay warm, SOCS families—and may your hearts grow THREE SIZES this Christmas season! 💚💚💚
