Hello BCS parents,
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank each of you
for the privilege of teaching your sons and daughters. As you know, I have
taken on the role of teaching Bible this year, and it has been such a great joy
for me. I have been so impressed by the maturity and wisdom expressed by your
kids. As a teacher, I have always had very high expectations for my students, but
I confess that their ability (and eagerness) to grasp the most important concepts
of life has been quite impressive — especially considering that they are in the
middle-school stage of life. They are an awesome bunch of kids, and they have absolutely
dominated my high-school level Bible curriculum. Our textbook is being used in
three private, Christian high schools in Broward County, and I’d put my students
up against any of their students!
In each of my classes, we have had so many great
conversations about life, the grace of God, Christian ethics, philosophy, and
the most important priorities in life. From my perspective, the students seem
genuinely excited to learn about the Scriptures, which has really blessed my
heart. Along with you, I am hopeful that their deepening relationship with God is
giving them a solid foundation for the rest of life.
The Middle School years can be among the most challenging
developmental years in all of life. As I mentioned during the Open House, each
of the teachers in the BCS Middle School considers ourselves to be partners in
shepherding your child’s heart. If you ever notice an area where your child needs
encouragement or discipleship, please let us know. While we are absolutely
committed to providing the best academic environment possible, each of us
serves at Bethany Christian School because we feel called to help shepherd and
shape the hearts of our students for a lifetime to come.
Again, thanks for the opportunity and privilege that we
have in loving and teaching your kids!
Blessings in Christ,
Sam Kastensmidt
Headmaster
Bethany Christian School
