From Carnivals, Colleges, to Mission Fields!

This year our Middle School Student Council decided to do something BIG…they wanted to host an all-school carnival. After only two months of planning, the thirty Student Council members organized an amazing, fun-filled day for the SACS community! Our carnival had over fifteen games and activities including a cake walk, inflatable obstacle course, win-a-goldfish, face painting, balloon darts, raffle, and the popular dunk tank; not mention delicious food provided by the Hotchkiss family, the Lamas family, the White family, and Chik-Fil-A! This event was a HUGE success thanks to the conscientious work of the Student Council officers and members and their families. We would like to thank ALL of the families who donated their time and services to help make this project such a success. The best part is that we raised $4,500 for Christian Assistance Ministries!! We look forward to hosting this carnival again next year!


Seniors Thank Guidance!
Graduating senior, Bailey McCracken, thanked the Guidance Department for assistance to become a fighting Texas Aggie next fall. (Don't all WHOOP at once!) Guidance Director, Tina Hall, is so proud of all of the accomplishments of this year's senior class.  Graduation is Saturday, May 17 at Summit Christian Church.

SACS MISSIONS
            Two brief statements. First, we of the Haiti and Malawi (aka, formerly the Ukraine/Moldova mission trip which was cancelled due to security issues) Mission TEAMS thank you for all your support throughout this year. It has been our privilege and blessing to share with you our dreams to minister to the orphans of these two countries who are in such great need—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. And, in only a few weeks, we will leave San Antonio to travel to, live in, and take the love of Jesus Christ to these people. We thank you for that opportunity and covet your prayers each and every day.
            Secondly, we want to ask you to consider being a part of the Mission TEAMS. Even though you may not be able to go on the trips, perhaps you have wondered if there was some way you could contribute. There is. If God guides you, would you prayerfully donate a financial gift to the Mission TEAMS to Haiti and Malawi. The students have worked hard all year to raise the necessary funds, and God has been faithful to provide for most of our needs. But, there are still some unfunded needs. Any donation, regardless of amount, will enable the Mission TEAMS to meet their financial obligations for the trips.
If you wish to donate, please send or mail your donation to SACS’ High School. Please make checks out to SACS and put “James 1:27 Mission Fund” in the memo area. Your donation will be shared equally between the Haiti and Malawi missions.
Your donation will be shared equally between the Haiti and Malawi missions. Thank you for your consideration and prayers.
“This is pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father,
to visit orphans and widows in their distress…” (James 1:27)
