Campion Students Share Musical Talents in Longmont

This weekend, the entire music department drove to Longmont to share their music with the Mountain View Seventh-day Adventist church. It was a real blessing that they got to use their talents to show God’s love. This church hosts both English and Spanish services and the Spanish church stopped their service to come down and listen to the music.

Throughout the school year, different student groups lead out in church services around the state in what is referred to as S.W.A.T. (Students with a Testimony) trips. “The S.W.A.T. trip was an amazing experience for me,” commented Kayla Gonzalas, senior. “I love these trips because they give us opportunities to connect with people outside of Campion. I also love to share Jesus with others using the talents he has given us.”

After the service, the churches combined to provide a large potluck lunch for the visiting students. “Despite me sitting on chocolate, I had an amazing time sharing God’s message. I loved the people there, and they loved our music. The food during potluck was amazing, and I must have eaten a hundred cookies,” said Renan Moreira, sophomore.

Overall, the students had a wonderful experience sharing music at a different church. “I had an amazing time with my friends praising God and getting off campus. Not to mention, the food was great! The people there asked us to come back, and I am praying we get to!” exclaimed Amira Davis, sophomore.

Mile High Academy Hosts Grandparents Day

It’s always a treat for us to have our grandparents visit the Mile High campus. And on Friday, September 27, smiles, warm greetings and laughter filled the hallways as more than 90 grandparents grabbed a light breakfast and headed off to experience the classroom life of their grandkid(s). Unique crafts, wacky science projects, special music and history presentations were shared in the classroom. A special presentation was given by Pastor Godfrey Miranda for our chapels.

“Grandparents truly play the role of a lifetime,” said Jocelyn Aalborg, VP of Finance and Development. “We appreciate each of them for taking the time to spend the day with us. A special thank you to the Kindall family for the Native American history presentation for K-2 and to Pastor Miranda for his special message for our chapels.”
