Congratulations to the following students who have been selected as members of the 2010-11 Chorus under the direction of Mrs. Barbara Lanier:

The Barnabas Award winners for April and May were chosen based on the values taught to us by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount.  It is here, in Matthew chapter 5, that Jesus began His sermon with what are known as the Beatitudes.  These are the blessings that Jesus promises to those that live in a way that honors Him.  Those that are humble, meek, forgiving, peacemakers, suffering a loss, seeking righteousness and showing mercy-they receive eternal rewards.  Congratulations to each of our students that have shown these characteristics in their daily life!

Bryan Moros, an SCPS senior, received a very prestigious Army ROTC scholarship this morning in the Eckburg Center. Lieutenant Brian Foster, United States Army representative presented Bryan with his scholarship check and congratulated him for his success in a process that started several years ago. The ROTC scholarship will provide Bryan with full college tuition and educational fees up to $10,000 per year. Bryan's parents, Al and Madeleine Moros and friends gathered today to celebrate Bryan's hard work and accomplishments.

Bryan plans to attend North Georgia College this fall and participate in their ROTC program. ROTC is a demanding and challenging complement to traditional college courses with the standards for admission being very high. Savannah Christian is so proud of Bryan and all his hard work and dedication. We wish him the best as he begins school at North Georgia College. Congratulations Bryan!

The Eckburg Center was transformed Sunday, April 25, 2010 into a multi-media fine and performing arts gallery filled with hundreds of pieces of creative works of art submitted by students in the Lower, Middle and Upper school under the direction of our Art Teachers Lara Buss and Ruth Mathis. The judging panel was composed of representatives from local art and photography galleries, students and staff of Savannah College of Art and Design, members of local literature guilds, as well as educators and artisans who are masters in their fields.

On April 16, 2010, the Concert Band traveled to Orlando, Florida, to perform at the Heritage Music Festival.  They competed against bands from all over the United States.  The members of the band deserve our congratulations for receiving a “Gold Rating”, as well as being awarded “Best in their Class.”  There were groups in attendance which represented schools from Florida to Alaska.  The awards ceremony and barbecue for the Heritage Festival was held at Wet-N-Wild.  As a secondary activity, the members of the band enjoyed spending some time at the Islands of Adventure at Universal Studios, as well as seeing the “Blue Man Group” in concert.
