The Olmsted Family (by Dahlia Swatzell)
Morris and Jennifer were two of the first people I got to know when I moved to this area because our daughters were in Cradle Roll together at Central SDA Church. I loved this interview because they opened up and shared about life before parenthood and some of the struggles that came with being a new parent (which we can all relate to in some way). They are both active in the church and school and are awesome at bringing people together with their friendly vibes. Brooklyn, who will soon be 7 years old, is direct, bold, smart as a whip…and oh, so funny and doesn’t know it. It was wonderful getting to know them a little better. Thank you to the Olmsteds, for being our February family.

(Thank You!) Downtown Rescue Mission Community Outreach
Thank you for your generous shoes & hats donations! The BCCA students delivered the much needed items to the Downtown Rescue Mission, and were able to serve lunch to the residents. Your continued support to the school and the community is greatly appreciated. May we continue to be a light to those around us.
Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward them for what they have done. Proverbs 19:17
This month in garden class we harvested a head of cabbage that we grew in our container garden. It will be exciting to hear how the students enjoy the fruits of their labor. We also learned about brix levels in food. The students tasted different fruit and then compared the brix reading with a refractometer. By using a refractometer we measured the amount of dissolved solids in the juice from select fruit. We also tasted samples to see if our tongue was as sensitive as the refractometer.
