Challenges in Nature

Greetings from Mrs. Kleisler!

Our middle-schoolers enjoyed a lovely day outdoors when we participated in a Team-Building & Course Challenge at Nassau BOCES Outdoor Education Center at Brookville. I was amazed by how our students embraced the program and learned how to work together by applying Biblical principles:
  • encourage one another instead of blaming one another
  • think before you talk
  • build one another up instead of tearing one another down
  • listen to each other’s ideas
  • take turns being a leader​

Our middle-schoolers bonded that day! 

Led by their Naturalist, Dana, and her trusty companion, rubber chicken Rufus, they overcame personal obstacles,  physical obstacles, and met God in a new and different way.  

​Here is what our kids had to say:


Cherelle W:  It was fun, we laughed a lot, and we were a team, helping each other work out our differences.

Isaac A:  When I first heard about the field trip, I thought, “I don’t want to go, it sounds boring. Why go?”  But God told me, “You have to go, you will enjoy it, it’s going to be lots of fun.”  So I said to myself, "Ok, I’ll go" and I’m glad I went because it was a blast.  My favorite part of the trip was when I walked on a wire called the Cable Bridge. At first I was really scared, but it turned out to be lots of fun. Overall the whole trip was fun.

Severino R:  My favorite [team-building] games were Rufus’ Physical Therapy tarp toss and Chicken Baseball. Team-building helps us to work together and it was really fun.

Nicholas B:  I loved Chicken Baseball, but I hated the PT throw.

Sarah W:  One of the activities we did was a Cable Bridge which was an extension wire connected to two trees.  We had to walk across to get from one tree to the other.  It took courage to walk across the rope at such a great height ( 5 feet high 😉 ); it took trust that if you slipped, your friend would help you. We also had to trust God, that our friends would be safe.

Packing with Purpose

     On November 14, 2017, the 2nd and 3rd graders volunteered their time for our annual Serv-a-thon. For their community service project, they worked with Operation Christmas Child. They started out loading all of the shoeboxes donated from WSCS into a SUV. Traveling to two local churches, the children loaded up all of the donated shoeboxes into two more cars. All three cars were filled front to back with generous Shoebox donations from our community! 

      The excited classmates then headed to The Church on the Sound in Stony Brook, which serves as an Operation Christmas Child processing center. The children unloaded the precious cargo for the boxes to be counted. Once checked in, the kids helped move all our boxes, as well as, every other box, that had been delivered that day, to the back sorting room. Our students worked in two teams: some stacked boxes on tables, while others placed rubber-bands around the boxes to secure them during shipment. They helped tape together shipping crates and then loaded them up with Shoeboxes. Knowing the importance of these special packages, the children were particularly careful not to rip any wrapping paper, stickers, or bows. In order to make all the puzzle pieces fit together, our students searched all the tables to locate the perfect size & shape boxes, so they could fit as many as possible in each crate. 

     We are all so proud of the 2nd and 3rd grade classes! They worked hard and were true servants, demonstrating what it means to be a follower of Jesus. ​
