Vision, Hearing and Spinal Screenings are coming to KAES Tuesday, October 1, 2019.

Vision, Hearing and Spinal Screenings are coming to KAES Tuesday, October 1, 2019.

Each year Texas State law requires us to screen students for possible vision, hearing and spinal problems. This early detection can be very beneficial and can make any possibly needed treatment much easier.

KAES has partnered with the Southwestern Adventist University nursing department and will have screenings performed by faculty and nursing students from SWAU that have been certified through DSHS.


I have attached a detailed letter that explains the process, what it is, how the screenings are performed, and who will be screened. Please read over this letter to familiarize yourself with the process.

WORSHIP CLINIC

WORSHIP CLINIC

This week our chapel was a bit different. It was the first of three worship clinics that we will have this year. The purpose is to have students choose an area of church worship and learn about it. This time we focused on areas like staging, songs and praise, audio and visual, graphic design, signing and sharing. Students were able to learn and experience many different ways that they can take their worship active.

John 5:39 Memory Challenge

At the end of our Week of Worship today we unveiled our John 5:39 Names of Jesus Memory Challenge. The goal is to memorize the name of God used in each of the books of the Bible. Because it is a big challenge we have broken it into three parts to help make working toward this challenge doable. This challenge is open to any KAES student in any grade. Check out the video below as Pastor Travis and Mr. Coulter share how the challenge works.

The Memory Challenge is explained by Mr. Coulter and Pastor Travis.

Reaching out to our community to be the hands and feet of Jesus

Today students from 5th grade through 8th grade went out in our community to help where help is needed. We want to continue to instill an attitude of service in our students. They learn that sometimes the greatest sermon we can share is one of selfless actions of love. #weloveourcommunity
