Congratulations to all of our 4A students for their wonderful, heartfelt, creative, and diverse contributions to our chapel presentation today.
Over the last several weeks, students have worked hard on and off-screen to help dramatize the Bible story “Jesus Heals the Paralyzed Man.”
Along the way, they engaged in creative problem solving as they explored how to use simple costumes, found items as props, the natural setting of our school, and green screen technology to bring this powerful account to life.
In this production phase, there were many laughs, memorable moments, and exciting “light bulb” discoveries.
One thing that especially moved me was watching the students grow in their understanding of performance with purpose—not just for entertainment value. For young children, it can be a journey to understand how storytelling and acting can be used not simply for drawing attention to oneself, but to communicate meaning, emotion, and truth—to humbly let the story be central and work as a team. The 4A students did that!
I was deeply inspired the maturity students showed with memorable, sensitive and at times moving portrayals of the characters. Our goal was to keep the central focus on communicating God’s Word and teaching others about Jesus and His ministry through storytelling.
It was also incredibly special to see students share their progress in their Learning Coats and see their originality, creativity, and sweet personalities shine through in ways that encouraged and inspired others.
Thank you, 4A families, for your support throughout this special project.
