Graduation Day

Finally, eventually the year comes to an end. We pray God's blessing on all 72 seniors, now alumni, as they scatter to the ends of the earth. We are reminded of the school's vision statement: Globally minded Christians impacting their world through biblical thought, character and action. May the Spirit of the Lord rest on each one of you as you follow His leading.

Sad Goodbyes :-(

The year is almost over and with just one week left it's time to start saying "goodbye". This goodbye belongs to the Storchenblick Senior girls. Alana, SunMin, Liz, Grace, Fiona & Nicole with aunt Deb left of middle. They're headed off to Turkey, Korea, Australia, Ireland and the USA. With a solid 3 - 7 years of BFA behind them, we know they'll do GREAT !!! We miss them already. God bless you ladies. It's been tons of fun.

The Junior Senior Banquet

This is one of the most cherished memories for our graduates every year. The junior class raises funds to put on a great banquet for the seniors. Here's just one of the many pictures we will hold on to for a long time. Tini, the last of the Mellon clan is graduating. It's been fun teaching her to play Rook, throwing pizza parties for her and her friends and picking on her in the halls of the school. In a few days I'll have the privilege of shaking her hand and 64 others at the graduation podium on the big day. Wow, what a blessing!!!

Easter Dinner

This was our first Easter without our kids. We were able to get together with three families that form our small group that meets biweekly and their kids as well. School starts up again this Wednesday after a two week spring break. However, after two weeks of pretty lousy weather including several days of snow, we are still waiting for spring to arrive. Those springtime pictures will have to wait.

Deb's Art 1 Pizza Party

With the end of the school year approaching, and Deb's first semester Art class over, it was time for a celebration.

Snow Storm of the Year

Boy, did we get hammered. The heaviest snow in the eleven years we've been here. Perfect timing too, our High School is closed Monday because of their retreat this weekend.

Thai International Dinner at Blauen Dorm

From left to right we have Lauren from Ireland, Elise from Uzbekistan, Jason, Ellen, Laura & Frauke from Germany, James from Kosovo & Rachael from Germany. All great kids and now superior Rook players, well at least some of them. The Thai food prepared by Glenn & Shelia was great, but the fellowship was even better.
