Special Events 2009-2010

Pastor Appreciation

Today HCS held a luncheon for the Pastors of our students. A wonderful lunch was provided by Carmen Bettencourt and her crew of HCS moms. Our students were able to share their talents through song, music and memorized poems.  Several of the pastors even visited the classrooms and went out for recess with the students. It was a great time of fellowship.  Thank you to all who participated and helped bring this event together.   

 

 

Invitational Track Meet

On April 16, 2010 Hanford Christian School hosted it's 15Th Annual Invitational Track Meet at the Hanford High East Campus. This event is coordinated by Miss DeValois and takes 50-60 volunteers to put on. A total of six schools ranging from grades 2nd - 8Th competed in this event. This event takes a lot of preplanning and work to put on but well worth all the effort since it brings our community together in healthy competition. The Stands were filled with competitors, spectators and parents.  The students competed in numerous running events, long jump, high jump, shot put and discus.

 

 

20 Minute Run!

Can you run 20 minutes without stopping? As a way of promoting physical fitness the Kindergarten, First, Second & Third grade classes participated in a 20 minute run on Friday, March 26.  These students and teachers trained for several weeks prior to the event working up to the straight 20 minute run.  The event was a lot of fun and many parents and siblings came to participate or cheer the students on. The other classes though not officially part of the run came to join in or give encouragement during their break from class. They made signs, cheered for the participants or ran along side their parents giving encouragement to finish strong.

 

RollerTowne

On March 9 the entire school went to the annual roller skating afternoon at RollerTowne, in Visalia .   Many HCS parents   came to watch and some were brave  enough to join the fun along with most of the HCS teachers out on the roller rink .  It was rumored the 8Th grade boys did a special dance but did not get close enough to the cameras for pictures.  The older students helped the younger ones; many made chains as they rolled around the rink.  Others clung to the wall not yet skilled enough to let go. There were a few falls and a couple sore bottoms but all in all everyone had a great time The 8Th graders took opportunities to take pictures together and really enjoy their last HCS skate.  

Tide Pools

On Friday, February 26, 2010 Miss DeValois took the 6Th & 7Th grade class, along with a few parents, to visit the Tide pools near Morro Bay . It was a beautiful windy day at the beach.  The sun was shining and the students were excited for the adventure to come.  Some students succumbed to the slippery rocks and ended up getting wetter than anticipated. Others had some not so graceful falls, wondering if anyone else saw but all in all their day of hunting was a great success and the students were able to find 9 out of the 10 tide pool creatures on their list.  It was the first time an HCS class caught an octopus. The baby octopus even let off a spray of ink trying to elude its capture (it was released unharmed after a few pictures) Miss DeValois was in her element teaching and sharing her enthusiasm for God’s unique creations. Many of the students caught her excitement as they showed off their prize finds. Other cherished finds, in addition to the baby octopus, were tiny 6 Rayed stars, Northern Sea Star, Bat Star, Purple Ocar and several Sunflower Stars which can grow up to 26 legs. I’m sure this day will not soon be forgotten.

  All School Musical- "Livin Inside Out"

  On Friday, January 22, 2010 our entire student body presented a wonderful play, "Livin Inside Out In an Upside Down World".  Zach  comes to realize how different life can be when you allow Christ to live in your heart.  A host of characters help Zach learn what God's word says through songs and scripture.  His world gets turned upside down as he begins to be generous, put others first and live inside out. 

 

Safety Week

Every year HCS starts off with Safety Week. The Kindergarten students learn about fire safety such as what to do in case of a fire and they receive a personal tour of a fire engine. The kindergarten through 3rd grades watch the "Stop on a Dime" presentation put on by local officers. They also learned about stranger danger. They watched the police motorcycle leave skid marks on the new parking lot, as the officer tried to stop at the whistle's blow. The students were also reminded to STOP, LOOK, and LISTEN before crossing a street.  It was good to be reminded of these important safety habits. Next, the entire school received a demonstration from the Kings County Sheriff Department on the use of Police Dogs. They saw how the dogs help the officers in the field. Thank you, to our local Law Enforcement and Fire Department for your wonderful presentations and for keeping us safe.
