Grayson enjoys helping others and has been a part of the ECS team that travels to Life Change Camp each May to work to get the camp ready for summer programs.

SENIOR SPOTLIGHT -- AXTON FIELDS! Axton is a quiet guy who doesn't draw attention to himself, but he can easily make you laugh with his unexpected quick wit! Ax is a four-year basketball player and track athlete, and also spent several years on Student Council, serving as president his junior year. Axton has a wide variety of adventurous interests including riding motorcycles, traveling, and airsoft (it is somewhat amazing that his 'fun fact' is that he has never broken a bone!), but when it comes to a future career, Axton is focused on software engineering. Axton bleeds purple, so his plan for the fall is to head to Manhattan to become a Kansas State University Wildcat. Congrats, Axton! We can't wait to see what the Lord has planned for you!
SENIOR SPOTLIGHT -- AVA SIEBERT! Ava joined the Class of 2024 as a junior, and it didn't take long to see that she has many amazing talents! Ava has a beautiful singing voice and a fantastic stage presence which have been showcased in several musicals and plays. Ava also has a heart for serving others, especially the residents she cares for in the nursing home where she works. She has gotten an early start on her career by earning her CNA and beginning her CMA while in high school, and she is excited to continue her education toward a nursing degree. Ava will be attending Kansas Wesleyan University in Salina next year, where she will also be participating in choir and theater. Congratulations, Ava, go do great things!
After talking about unique engineering issues designers have in creating a space craft for Mars, the 6th grade students were tasked with creating a space lander using only the supplies furnished (paper plates, index cards, straws, cotton balls, tape).

The third grade class performed a "Talents of Three" talent show this week during chapel. The message of the show was to remind us that we must give of ourselves as well as our talents. We all have talents we must share with others and be faithful managers of what we are given. When we use our abilities to help others, God is glorified. Great job, third graders!
