Dear CrossPointe Families,
We have had a full two weeks before spring break. I am not going to go in order of events because I do not want congratulations lost in the main body of this letter that will recap the state of the school address.
This Monday we were treated to a CPP Pops Concert. Wow! Well done Voice Ensembles. It can be nerve-wracking performing in front of people, even if you are with your friends. The audience enjoyed the fun-filled selected songs that were performed fabulously. The stories of the songs along with the combination of solos were entertaining. The entire evening was just FUN! Kudos also to the ASL classes for signing the Fight Song. Thank you Dr. Brooks and students for a concert performed well. Thank you also to CPP parent Matt Keifer for allowing us to use Imago Dei space for the concert.
Congratulations to the Kemper family on the birth of their daughter Mabel June. Arriving on Tuesday, February 28th @ 5:00pm and weighing in at 8lbs. 6 oz. Mother and baby are doing fine. Proud big brothers are Chase, Tate, and Stiles. Look out world, Mabel has three big brothers already wrapped around her little finger.
State of the School address
Thank you CrossPointe community for your continued support of intentional Christian education. Many of you were able to attend the state of the school address last Thursday evening where the board reaffirmed our purpose and vision for CrossPointe by concisely sharing about our school’s history, identity, values, successes, and aspirations which helped us understand where CPP has
been and where we aspire to be in the years to come. I marvel at what God has done and continues to do through this educational community. Each day, each weak, each month, and each year we collectively rise to the challenge of intentionally educating our children to be wholesome, competent men and women of godly character who make a positive difference for Christ now and in the future.
Gratitude and Announcements
Thank you to past board member Elisa Barden who resigned last May.
Thank you to two teachers who will not be returning to CrossPointe: Mrs. Kim Williams 3rd grade teacher and Mrs. Cailin Williams 7th & 8th Literature. These two godly women have faithfully served, mentored, loved, instructed, and facilitated learning for our CPP community and touching the hearts and minds of our students, influencing their growth in positive ways.
Thank you and presentation of a plaque to Cloverdale church of Christ to put on the arbor that we had constructed over the summer for them showing our gratitude for the four years they graciously leased to CPP before we outgrew their facility.
