🌷☀️ Our final installment in this year's highlights series brings us to a joy-filled Spring season! ☀️🌷

As we wrapped up a fantastic school year, we were blessed with so many special events, field trips, celebrations, service projects, performances, and opportunities to learn and grow together. There are far too many wonderful memories to fit into one post, but here are a few of our spring favorites!

One highlight for many of our students was the high school trip to Kentucky, where they had the opportunity to experience both The Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum. Some students even enjoyed the exciting adventure of ziplining at The Ark Encounter, creating memories they will never forget!

We concluded the year with a fun-filled Field Day featuring an inflatable obstacle course, a bouncy house, and a variety of field games. To top it all off, a generous donor treated every student and staff member to delicious ice cream at The Scoop. What a wonderful way to celebrate the end of a blessed school year together!

As we look back on the many blessings of the 2025-2026 school year, our hearts are filled with gratitude. We give God all the glory, honor, and praise for His faithfulness throughout the year.

Praise God from whom all blessings flow! ❤️

❄️✨ Next up in our school year highlights series: Winter Highlights! ✨❄️

We were blessed with so many wonderful student activities, special events, service opportunities, basketball games, field trips, and memory-making moments throughout the winter season.

Some of these traditions are favorites we look forward to year after year, while others were exciting new additions to our school calendar. One of those new experiences was our secondary students' "Great Winter Escape" adventure! Students traveled to Iowa City for an evening filled with escape rooms, dinner at the restaurant they voted on, photos at the University of Iowa, and plenty of laughter and fun along the way. Many memories were made with one another!

From Christmas celebrations and community outreach projects to basketball games, Valentine's Day fun, and special guest speakers, winter was filled with opportunities to learn, serve, grow, and make lasting memories together.

These are just a few snapshots from a blessed winter season at MPCS. ❤️

Stay tuned for our Spring Highlights coming in just a few days! 🌷☀️

We wrapped up the 2025–2026 school year with our last day of school on Friday and graduation on Saturday! 🎓❤️ What a wonderful year it has been at MPCS!

As we reflect on all God has done throughout this school year, we are so grateful for the many memories, milestones, friendships, learning moments, and special events that filled our days. There is truly so much we packed into this year that we couldn’t possibly fit it all into one post series! 😊

We wanted to start a new short series sharing a few highlights from throughout the school year, beginning with some of our favorite moments from FALL! There are many more pictures we could share, but these are a few snapshots from fall.🍁📚🏐🍎

From field trips and service projects to Spirit Week, athletics, guest speakers, and special school traditions, this season was filled with so many meaningful memories for our students and staff.

Stay tuned later this week for our Winter ❄️ and Spring 🌸 highlights!

Memorial Day is a sacred reminder that freedom has always come at a great cost. We pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives for our country and the freedoms we have today.

“The flag does not wave because the wind moves it. It waves with the last breath of every soldier who died protecting it.” — Unknown

As we gather with family and friends, may remember with grateful hearts all those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Their courage and selflessness will never be forgotten.

“We don’t know them all, but we owe them all.” — Unknown

From all of us at Mount Pleasant Christian School, we extend our deepest gratitude to the fallen heroes and to the families who continue carrying their memory and legacy forward each day.

“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” — John 15:13
