Photos from the San Bernardino City Mission and Victoria Gardens

Here are a few photos from our field trip on Friday. The class had the interesting experience of juxtaposing need with extravagance.

Photos from Biola

Here are a few photos of the exciting things the 6th grade was a part of today. The students went on a tour through the Biola campus and got a glimpse of the Christian college life. After exploring the power of education and how reading books will lead to a better and brighter future, I hope that you will take what you've learned to heart. Hopefully this trip has given you the encouragement to start thinking about your own bright futures as well.

The Power of Education: Biola

Today's field trip will have us venture to Biola University in Los Angeles. The students have been learning about the opportunities found in education, and specifically how a Christian education can enable a person to learn more about who Christ created us to be. They will learn about a very special opportunity offered through the university through the Torrey Honors Institute. This is the next step to becoming life-long learner a after His own heart. I hope today brings inspiration and encouragement to our 6th graders as we dive into the fascinating things that college has to offer!

It's that time of year!

A delicious feast!

Manzanar: Day Two

Here are the last of the photos from our trip. We spend the morning exploring Manzanar and taking pictures for the photo journals. After a quick lunch, we should be on our way home shortly.

Breakfast by the mountain

Soon we will be off back at the relocation center to let the 6th graders work on their photo journalism.

Manzanar: an end to Day One

Thus ends another wonderful day of learning on a 6th grade field trip. Today we visited Manzanar relocation center, located near Lone Pine, CA. Today we explored the relocation center and saw the result of how one foolish decision can affect generations of people. Lives were turned upside down overnight simply out of fear, prejudice and ignorance. People like us caused these things to transpire, and it is our duty to protect future generations from being put in or causing such things to happen. It starts small; an offhand comment, a silly prank, and can become something much more harmful. Think about it. How can you be the bigger person? The challenge is to set an example and show the rest of the school that although you are older, you still want to love and respect them. Please think about it.
