Farewell, Heritage Christian School: A Heart Full of Gratitude
As many of you know, this semester marks the end of an era for our family at Heritage Christian School. With our eldest child graduating and a potential move on the horizon, it's time for me to step down from my role as Chairman of the Board. The past 12 years at HCS have been an incredible journey, filled with growth, faith, and friendships that my family and I will cherish forever. It's hard to put into words the immense gratitude we feel for this special community.

Beyond the Classroom: Memories Made 
Bonita Class Day, with its vibrant energy and close-knit community, holds a special place in our hearts. We have seen countless friendships blossom and young minds flourish. The drama club, music club, basketball club, and National Honor Society provided our children with invaluable opportunities to explore their talents and build confidence. The laughter, teamwork, and shared experiences these clubs fostered are treasured memories.

A Heartfelt Thank You
HCS would not be the incredible organization it is without the tireless efforts of its volunteers. To every parent who has volunteered their time, talent, and energy – from organizing class days to leading club to coaching sports – we offer our sincerest gratitude. You are the backbone and secret sauce of HCS, and your dedication has made a profound impact on countless families, including our own.

A special note of appreciation goes to Principal Vicki Stormoen, the office staff, and fellow HCS Board members. Your leadership, organization, and care for the HCS families are deeply appreciated. Your efforts embody 1 Peter 5:2-3, “Shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight, not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you; not for shameful gain, but eagerly; not domineering over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock.” Thank you for your exemplary service and dedication!

Farewell, but Not Forgotten
In closing, I want to express my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has been part of our HCS journey. Your support, kindness, and dedication have made these 12 years unforgettable. We leave with full hearts, excited to see how God continues to work through HCS. May God bless each of you and this wonderful school abundantly!
