THE BIG SEND-OFF

Elementary school students are exposed to S3 via an event we like to call "The Big Send-Off."  This is a gathering at which the students are prepared for the challenges of middle and high school by learning how to apply the Ten Commandments to their personal lives.  More importantly, they also learn how to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, while receiving encouragement to stand together in their Christian fatih, as they move to the next level of schooling.

Typically, 50-75% of the district's 5th or 6th grade students attend this exciting and life-changing event.
