Our amazing Parent Partners filled our students’ lockers with God’s truth this week — reminders of who they are and how deeply they’re loved. 💕
Students can never be told enough that they are chosen, seen, and called to love others well. This Valentine’s Day, we rest in the unshakable love of our Creator. 🤍

👋 Meet Ms. Emily Scholtens! We’re excited to introduce Emily as our Interim Third Grade Classroom Teacher here at SOCS. Emily holds a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education and brings many years of experience teaching and caring for children. She previously taught preschool for seven years at a Christian school in Ludington and later operated an in-home licensed daycare for nearly six years.
Emily has a heart for faith-based education and has been actively involved in church life through children’s ministry, youth leadership, and worship. In July 2024, God led her to Holland—and in His perfect timing, to SOCS. We are grateful for the experience, care, and Christ-centered heart she brings to our third grade classroom during this interim season. 💙✨

Speaking with parents and caregivers — both current and former — one thing is clear: weekly chapel is a favorite part of the week. The fellowship, the encouragement, and the warmth of the SOCS community is truly something special.
We would love for you and your student
to come tour our school and experience a chapel day with us!
A JOY-ful thank you to @JOY99 for bringing the JOY this morning and reminding us that all hope can be found in Christ alone. 💛
