Permission slips are due on Monday, September 25 for students in grades 6-12 to participate in next week’s Spiritual Emphasis Retreat on September 28 and 29. Internationally acclaimed Christian comedian and illusionist Tom Coverly of Holy Wow Ministries will be the guest speaker and will also perform as an illusionist. According to his website, Tom’s passion comes from giving ALL glory to Jesus for taking his past mistakes and MESS-ups and turning them into a MESSage.
Upper School Principal Susan Smith emailed parents on September 18 about the retreat and the student permission slip was an attachment. Please review the information in the email and send in the permission slip to your student’s homeroom teacher by no later than Monday.
“The retreat is a special time of bonding and spiritual renewal for our middle school and high school students and we don’t want any of them to miss out,” said Mrs. Smith. “Our goal is help our students start off the school year understanding the importance of focusing on their relationship with God and with others.”
A variety of retreat activities will be held on the school campus, the Ocean City Boardwalk, and Sleepy Hollow Family Campground. Some of the retreat activities planned include an Amazing Race team competition, cardboard canoe races, an Escape Room experience, a lip sync contest, a workshop on creating a ceramic piece with Glazed Over Studios, and running a mock American Ninja course with Jamie Rahn, aka Captain NBC, from the the hit TV show American Ninja Warrior.
