Day 5 ~ Anti-Bully Week at ECS ~ Let's Run the Race..together!


On day 5 of Anti-bully week at Evergreen Christian School, students showed their unity by wearing GREEN.

 This week, COURAGE IN ACTION was the challenge and students committed themselves to it.  It will be exciting to see and hear the fruits of the anti-bullying education.  If anything, students and parents know that ECS is a safe place to grow, learn, share and discover.

After school, staff, alumni and parents participated in the Bruce Newman Memorial Run. The life and legacy of track coach and teacher, Bruce Newman, was celebrated with a race.  It was a beautiful and HOT evening that was filled with smiles, healthy competition and fellowship.  As I stood and cheered the runners on, a beautiful verse came to mind....

“…. since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith.” Hebrews 12:1-3

The hope of our children and their education is that they are able to "run the race together"  filled with support, love and without fear of bullying.
