What traditional events were adapted for the pandemic and how?
We conducted a special time where our community came together to engage in special events and Kahoot Games over Zoom, we call it Community Time! We were able to continue to have chapel via Zoom. We offer families the choice of distance learning or in-person learning. Each one of our classrooms is set up for Zoom.
What were the most significant challenges faced by the Class of 2021 and how did they overcome them?
Relying on what the Lord had for Westminster has helped us overcome all obstacles that came this year. We are all so thankful that we made it the entire year with in-person learning.
Principal's reflections on the Class of 2021:
The following verse best describes the Westminster Christian School Class of 2021: 1 Timothy 4:12 "Let no one despise you for your youth but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity." The Senior class has demonstrated maturity and leadership within the student body that has set an example for the classes that observe. Well done, Seniors! Praying for you to continue to grow in godliness and Christ-likeness wherever God leads you!
