High School

On Monday, November 20, the National Honor Society hosted the annual Soup Lunch and Offering. Our community served together in a number of ways: washing apples, serving soup, and donating money towards the offering. Thanks to the efforts and generosity of students, parents, and faculty, we were collectively able to raise a total of $4,523.23, which helps to fund the Chicago Christmas Dinner occurring next week. This event helps to bless families by providing them a Christmas meal, fun activities, and generous presents for both children and parents. Thank you and to God be all the glory!

The high school students in child development class put their knowledge into action by creating and teaching a developmentally appropriate lesson to the preschool students in Mrs. Wieger's preschool classroom. After learning about the developmental milestones that preschool aged children experience, such as hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, and gross motor skills, the high school students worked collaboratively in groups to write and teach a lesson to the preschool students.

The preschool students were ecstatic to have the "big kids" on campus be their teacher. The high school students also had the opportunity to observe and learn from teachers Mrs. Wiegers and Mrs. Lanenga how to interact with preschool students to best support their development. In addition to this being a rich and memorable learning experience for both the high school and preschool students, this lesson also provided the unique and special opportunity for cross-campus collaboration. It is always so wonderful for the separate buildings on Timothy's campus to come together in order to build community, inspire one another, and give honor and glory to God in all we do.

We are delighted to announce that Team Timothy won first place in the Trinity Math Triathlon last week. Team members include 3rd graders Dale Eisenmann, Penny Swierenga, Jake VanDerBill and Sam Piersma, 4th graders Eleanor Kooima, James Dishman, Jude VanDerLaan, and Molly Pergande, 5th graders Sam Haack, Olivia Kinnas, Zach Ahlenius, and Isaac Lee, and 6th graders Noah VanderZee, Olivia Hayes, Luke Kellough, and Kaitlyn Pergande. Timothy also placed first in the relay event. Congratulations, team!

Thank you, Team Timothy! Last Friday, sophomore Evie Bode collected 94 turkeys and 206 whole fryer chickens for Lampstand Ministries. The turkey drive was Evie's Community Giving Project for DECA (an after school business club that develops leaders and entrepreneurs). Lampstand Ministries is an urban ministry on the west-side of Chicago. On November 11, as part of Lampstand's Thanksgiving Outreach, all the turkeys and chickens were donated to families in need. Thank you for supporting Evie's DECA project and Lampstand Ministries.
