What an Incredible First Week of School!

Hello Everyone,

What an incredible first week we had at the school! Thank you so much to all of you who were praying for us. Things were a little chaotic on Monday, but overall, everything went really well. The students showed up with smiles on their faces and so much excitement for the new school year!

We are incredibly blessed with an amazing staff and team of teachers, cooks, cleaners, bus drivers, and others who work together each day to love, serve, and care for our students.

In regard to our new high school building, we were able to begin using the new chapel/dining hall this week, which was such a blessing. It’s amazing to see it already filled with students—learning about their Creator, eating lunch together, laughing, and simply enjoying their time at school. After all the work that has gone into this building, seeing it being used for its intended purpose has been really special.

This past Tuesday evening, we also had our Parent Open House, and it was packed! It was a great opportunity for our families to hear more about the school and our plans for the year, meet our staff, tour the facilities, and even enjoy a coffee from our coffee shop.

We shared a video with the parents highlighting the first few days of school and some of what has happened so far this year. If you’d like to watch it, here is the link:

Thank you also to those of you who have already responded and donated toward our high school building project. We are so grateful! We are hoping that by Monday or Tuesday, two of the new classrooms will be ready for students to begin using.

Another need we have shared about recently, but would like to highlight again, is our Student Sponsorship Program. One of the ways we are able to keep tuition affordable for families in our community is through the generosity of individuals and families who participate in this program. Sponsorship helps bridge the gap and allows us to continue providing our students with a quality education while keeping tuition at a level our families can afford.

If this is something you might be interested in, please reach out to me by email (jason@thehouseofblessing.org) or text message (915-316-9496). We would love to share with you some of the specific students who are currently in need of sponsorship and a little bit about their stories.

Most of all, thank you for your faithful support, encouragement, generosity, and prayers. We are so thankful for each of you and the role you continue to play in what God is doing here in Bachíniva.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Jason
