Principal's Desk

September 2010

I am once again very excited about our new school year 

and what the Lord has in store for us.  I hope that each of 

you had an enjoyable summer and are looking forward to 

another rewarding time in our new 2010/11 school year.

 

In preparation for this school year various sections of the 

school have received a fresh coat of paint. Our High School 

Staff  room has been renovated, the Red Gym offices are 

remodeled and the Blue Gym has been sound proofed.  

New computers are purchased and the school has once 

again received its summer cleaning.  We are very excited 

about the progress on our new building.

 

We have been truly blessed with an outstanding group of 

teachers at MBCI.  Our new staff  members will defi nitely 

complement this group and add to their enthusiasm and 

positive energy.  We will be welcoming several new teachers 

to MBCI this fall.  Wes Koslowsky will be teaching Gr. 8 

Drama, Gr. 10 English and Phys. Ed.  Melissa Rewucki will 

be teaching Gr. 9 & 10 Science and Gr. 11 Current Topics 

in Science.  Kelly Reimer will be teaching Gr. 11 English.  

Paul Unger is returning to teach Gr. 6 - 8 German, Gr. 10 

Geography and Gr. 12 English (ELT).  Teri Tamayo will be 

joining our staff  as a Learning Assistant and Science Lab 

Technician. I am looking forward to working with these 

new staff  members and introducing them to you at our 

Opening Program on October 4.

 

I sense that we will have another excellent year and look 

forward to working together with our students, parents 

and churches.  This year our theme verse is found in 

Hebrews 12:1 & 2.   It reads: 

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, 

let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily 

entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.  

Let us fi x our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who 

for the joy set before him endured the cross scorning its shame and sat 

down at the right hand of the throne of God.

 

My hope is that this year we will “run with perseverance 

the race marked out for us.”  God asks us to be Christ- 

like and put others before ourselves.  As teachers, staff  

and administrators, we are committed to following Jesus’ 

example in every aspect of school life.  As models of 

Christian living our goal is to continue to off er the best so 

that each student will receive the Christian education that 

MBCI offers.

 

As we begin a new school year, let us set high standards 

and let us challenge each other to maintain them.  We 

have a wonderful opportunity over the next ten months 

to work in a partnership of home - school - church to “fix 

our eyes on Jesus, the author of our faith.”  Our hope is 

that each student will advance in their spiritual, emotional, 

physical and intellectual development as we move through 

the school year.

 

I look forward to meeting many of you as the year 

progresses.  Together, let’s commit MBCI to the Lord and 

trust Him in all aspects of our school.
