Happy Easter from The Academy

Can you believe Easter has come and gone? We spend so much time preparing for the passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus, that we sometimes forget to take time for ourselves. The students prepared for us a beautiful prayer service on Holy Thursday for us to think about what it was like for Jesus to carry his cross for his death. Our preschool students colored pictures of the Stations of the Cross, while the students in the multi-age class wrote and read about the Stations. We recreated Jesus' symbolic act of washing his disciples' feet, during our prayer service when we washed our hands.

After this time of sorrow for Jesus, we can't wait to celebrate on Easter Sunday with Jesus' resurrection, and we remember that Easter is a time of new beginnings. I hope you all had a wonderful and blessed Easter!
