New Musical Instruments

We have been blessed!  Due to the generosity of our board of directors and a few individuals, we were able to purchase two xylophones, a metallophone, and two glockenspiels.  These new instruments will bring an added dimension to our music program and give our students the opportunity to explore melody and harmony.

The Spirit of Christmas

One of the things that we try to teach our students at Alameda Christian School is the importance of giving back to our community and sharing the blessings God has given us.  So today, as is our tradition, we walked over to Water’s Edge Nursing Home on Blanding to sing for the residents.  Mrs. Sankey led the students  as they sang six Christmas carols including “Joy to the World” and “Away in a Manger,” ending with the old standard, “We Wish You a Merry Christmas.”  The entire student body recited the Christmas story from Luke 2:1-20 and distributed handmade cards to the members of the audience.  It was a wonderful time of giving and receiving… in the true spirit of Christmas!

It’s Christmas Tree Time!

It’s beginning to look (and smell) a lot like Christmas, especially on our Christmas tree lot.  This is one of our favorite fund raisers of the year.  Just walking between the rows of beautiful trees will lift your spirits.  The three types of trees that we sell (Noble Fir, Grand Fir and Douglas Fir) are from the same grower in Oregon that we’ve used for over 35 years and, as usual, they are fresh and lovely.  Come by and check the trees out.  We’ll even give you a 10% discount if you mention our website.
