Picture This! Next year we will be celebrating fifty years of God's faithfulness to Calvin Christian Schools. The 50th anniversary committee is already planning a wonderful series of events to remember the past and to look forward to the future of our school. To help in this celebration we want to produce a video containing pictures chronicling the whole history of the school up to the present day. We need your help. If you are willing to loan us your pictures of Calvin Christian School students, teachers, events (plays, musicals, athletic events, etc.), and history for the video, please put your slides and paper photos in a sealed envelope marked on the outside with the following: 1.) 50th video 2.) your name and phone number. This will help us return your pictures. Drop off pictures with Bianca Tiersma at the high school office or with Sandy Roth at the grade school office. To send digital photos please email them as an attachment to calvinchristianescondido.anniversary@picasaweb.com. If you have so many photos that email is not practical, drop off a CD at the school office to the attention of Mark Steenstra or contact Mark at marksteenstra@gmail.com.
