Like little dandelions, these sweet PK4 girls - and all of our PK4 students -are growing, blooming, and getting ready to spread their wings into Kindergarten this fall. 🌼💙
Watching them learn, laugh, and shine this year has been such a joy. Kindergarten is going to be so lucky to have them! 🎓✨

There’s something special about a school family that worships together, grows together, cries together, and celebrates together. ❤️
This week, we say goodbye to three beloved educators who have poured their hearts into South Olive Christian School: Mrs. Essenburg , Miss. Veldman, and Ms. DeWitt.
Thank you for the prayers prayed, lessons taught, hugs given, tears wiped, and countless ways you have impacted our students for the Kingdom. Your fingerprints will forever remain part of the story of SOCS.
While goodbyes are never easy, we trust God’s leading in every new chapter. We are excited for the journeys ahead for each of these amazing women, and we are equally excited for all the incredible things God still has in store for South Olive Christian School. The future is bright because He is faithful.
Once SOCS family, always SOCS family. 💙💛

Today we welcomed Military Veteran Matthew Pifer of FOB Ministries to speak with our students! 🇺🇸💪
He shared lessons from the Marine Corps about leadership, kindness, doing the right thing, and being a light for others through Christ. Students even learned a little push-up action along the way!
Thank you, Matthew, for investing in our students and leading by example.
