RECAP of Celebrating 60 Years – A Night of Brilliance Gala!

This year marks an incredible milestone – 60 years of our school’s journey of faith, perseverance and partnership with dedicated parents, students, staff and supporters like you.

The celebration gala, A Night of Brilliance was truly special, with our wonderful students welcoming our guests and performing beautiful music for us, a heartfelt speech from Matthew Beimers that deeply moved us all, inspiring words from Patti Thomas that gave us hope for the future, and special words from Ted DeVries (our Gala Sponsor and Gala Committee Member), reinforcing the strength of our community. Our evening’s master of ceremony was David Herman – former parent, former board member and current grandparent.

Together, we raised an incredible $243,540 for outdoor shelters for both campuses – an amazing testament to your generosity and commitment. Additionally, we are thrilled to share that we have received generous donations of $100,000 dedicated to reducing our building debt.

For those who couldn’t make it, here are the special videos we shared during the gala, created by our Digital Storyteller Nathan Hayashi:

Thank you to our generous sponsors and to all of our community. Your ongoing support enables us to see and serve the needs of each student and our community. Thank you for walking alongside us in this shared mission of educating for wholeness by engaging God’s world in the servant way of Jesus.
