College de la Grace

Last week we celebrated the schools' 15th anniversary. The week was filled with tons of events, my favorite being the teachers vs. students soccer match. (Watching the "older" teachers run around aggressively was hilarious!) The teachers surprised everyone and played really well. They tied with a score of 2-2!
On Monday, we had a really cool ceremony at the church. All of the students (almost 800), preschool through high school, marched all the way from the school to the church with a marching band. There were several speakers and choirs that performed. At one point, they asked all of the previous graduates of the school to stand. It was really something to see the people who had gone on to be teachers, doctors, nurses, lawyers, pastors, etc, all because of what God has made possible in our town. Fifteen years ago there wasn't even a high school in Pignon!
