A Special thank you from the Bamford family

Dear Mason County Christian School,
Thank you for the generous gift you gave to buy and ship rice to the people in our village. They are so thankful!

Mr. Bamford was able to fly 2 airplane loads of rice to the village in February which totaled 1,200 lbs. Thanks to your gifts and the gifts of others, we will be able to send 7 more plane loads to help the people.

While Mr. Bamford was in the village, someone gave him a small bag of locally grown rice from what he was able to salvage from his field. When he handed the bag to Mr. Bamford, seven grains of rice spilled onto the table. The man noticed and carefully picked each one up to return to the bag. Each grain of rice is valuable and the Isnag are thankful for your help to them.

God bless,
Heidi for the Bamford family

Welcome new students!

This week we welcomed the Faust family to MCCS. Dan and Mary have two children attending--Rachel is in Mr. Endicott's class (Yea, another girl!) and Jotham is in Mrs. Settle's room. The Fausts have home-schooled up until now, so this will be a big adjustment; thanks to those of you who have already stepped up and offered to help with transportation.

Do you love books?

Many of you know that we are aggressively building a quality school library, entirely with donated cash, books, and time. Right now we are most in need of TIME. We have hundreds, many hundreds, of books ready to be cataloged and put on the shelves. This is enjoyable work (if you like books) and can be done from home if you have an internet connection. I can train you to do this job in about one hour, and then you can do as much or as little as you like, whenever you like. Please give me a call at the school if you are interested. Thanks. David Roller 426-7616 or 463-0997

See the Buttons

With Christmas still ahead of us, Forest Festival seems a long, wet winter off. But preparations are already underway, including the Festival button design contest. Be sure to see our students' entries that are displayed in the hallway of Building 3.

Christmas Cheer

Fourth and fifth graders did double duty today. They practiced for the Christmas program and blessed local nursing home residents at the same time.

The Great (temporary) Noodle Ban

After repeated pleas and reminders, students are still leaving messes of noodles/ramen on the table and in bathroom sinks. So, no noodles or ramen will be allowed in 4th-8th grades in December. We will try again in January. We can do this correctly, students.

The Mason County Sheriff's Office SWAT Team and K-9 Unit converge on MCCS (and the kids loved it!).

On November 18th the Mason County Sheriff's Office SWAT Team members and K-9 Unit visited the Mason County Christian School campus. Each class was given the opportunity to meet members of the SWAT team, climb inside SWAT’s armored vehicle, try on a SWAT bullet-proof vest, and just see how heavy all the special tools and equipment are. Also in attendance was Dep. Sean Dodge and his narcotics detecting K-9 Kona. Students found out how Kona is trained and how she searches for narcotics. The students enjoyed themselves and continued to talk about the experience for the remainder of the day.
