Our PreK students lead chapel for us this week, teaching us about the great love of God for both the big and small. Each student shared something with our Lower School, some introducing our next song, others quoting scripture, and others explaining a drawing of God they made, explaining what it taught about him. Students […]

Rather, it is narrowing down which of the multiple options available to students in which to be involved. “Do I choose golf or […]
We re-branded our annual Spring at the Brook this year, dubbing it Worship at the Brook. Together we worshiped our great God through a variety of sacred music. Our program even included music from special guests like BH Alum, Paul Ruark and other community artists. Our students led us in a time of worship, and our […]
Art 1 students are working with plaster gauze strips to make hand sculptures this week. Students begin by cutting strips of gauze, and then thinking of a creative way to position their hand.

Real life applications […]
