Our class ended the school year with a whirlwind of activities. We went to St. Paul where we toured the Capitol, including climbing some very narrow steps all the way up to the golden horses. While at the capitol, we even met with some of our area representatives. Next, we arrived at the Science Museum in time to see the Omni show about the Alps. We had quite of view of those spectacular mountains through the eyes of some very brave climbers. After the show, students were able to try some of their favorite experiments before boarding the bus to Fort Snelling. We traveled back in time at the fort, and saw life through the eyes of the people during the 1800’s. As long as you didn’t need to see a doctor or dentist, life looked pretty fun to our class.

Later in the week, we traveled to Fairmont for the area Lutheran track meet. Each student participated in three track or field events, and most came home with at least one ribbon. The weather cooperated, and we enjoyed spending the whole day outside.

Our final outdoor activity was the end of the school year picnic. It was a fun morning spent playing games and spinning each other on the merry-go-round. After our picnic lunch, and walk back to school, reality set in. There were some sad good-byes to say, as our seventh grade students will continue on to a new school. We have had some wonderful times together, learning, growing, laughing, and crying.

God has blessed our school with three good years of growth. We pray that the time spent studying His word will continue to work in the hearts of every student. One of the favorite songs from choir sums it up well, "Go ye, go ye, into the world, and make disciples of all the nations, Go ye, go ye into the world, and I will be with you there."
