While on Senior Class Trip, Ozark's Senior Class volunteered at the San Antonio Food Bank. They helped to pick and package food for senior citizens in 16 counties. The students picked around 5,000 pounds of produce and made 2400 boxes (which is about 72,000 lbs of food). It was an amazing volunteer opportunity for Ozark's students.

The pancakes sizzled on the outdoor grill as Ozark's boys headed down toward the pavilion for the Dorm Dude Reveal Party. This semester area church members "adopted" a "dude" from the boy's dorm. They sent gifts, notes, and encouragement throughout the semester. At the reveal party the boys met their "adopted parent," whose identity, for many was still a mystery. The boys and their "parents" enjoyed a special meal and an evening of fun together.

It probably happens a lot, people walking through life with talents and gifts God has given that lay hidden, unused, and unknown. In an individual who feels they have few or no special abilities, God invariably sees potential that lies beyond anything our mind's eye could ever envision. Cameron S., a senior at Ozark, wrote and directed the play that was performed over Academy Days weekend. Although not the point of his play, the incredible talent Cameron has shown as an actor, director, and writer in this play and throughout his years at Ozark, gives us a glimpse of God's vision for each of us. Digital images are available to download at Shutterfly.

We've all seen that smile before, the one that almost reaches from ear to ear. He was probably ten or twelve years old and I saw him standing over against the back wall of the gymnasium. It wasn't just the smile that caught my eye, but the excitement in his voice as he informed anyone who was listening that he was going to be a gymnast. Ozark's Aerialaires Gymnastics team performed on Wednesday for elementary students in Tulsa and Ketchum, Oklahoma. It's no wonder that young man wanted to be a gymnast after watching Ozark's students perform. From doing a flip off the shoulders of a teammate who also stood on the shoulders of another teammate, to team members flying 20 or 30 feet in the air, Ozark's gymnastics program is awe inspiring to watch. A peek into their performances, along with Ozark's drama class who also performed in Tulsa, is available via the link below.
April 16
The Lifeway Christian Warriors scored first, but then Ozark's varsity soccer team scored three unanswered points to win their first game of the year by a score of 3 to 1. Peter K., Danny C., and Trey G. scored the three game winning goals but all of the members of Ozark's soccer team played a great game.

This week at Ozark, students are putting into practice the injunction found in the book of Mark "to love thy neighbor as thyself." Students who are not on the Brazil or Red Bird Mission Trips are making a difference in our own area. Ozark's students and staff have been volunteering at places such as Habitat for Humanity, Horses for Healing, the Wild Wilderness Drive-through Safari, Adopt a Highway, and several neighboring homes.

"Sockin' around the Christmas tree" was the theme of the December 2nd Dorm Daughter reveal party. During the fall semester ladies from area churches "adopt" a daughter from Irvin Hall. The moms send gifts, notes, and encouragement throughout the semester. The reveal party is where they finally meet. This year the girls from Irvin Hall arrived at the party wearing socks that matched or coordinated with their dorm mom's socks. One dorm mom and daughter wore Santa socks. Another mom wore Nutcracker socks and her dorm daughter wore socks with just the nuts. Thank you to all the moms that participated in this program and helped make dorm life a little bit more like home. Digital images are available to download at Shutterfly.

Friday night, Ozark's Drama class presented the play "Love and Death" during the vespers program. It depicted the controversy between Christ and Satan, illustrated by the characters Love and Death. Mortals chained and in bondage to death could only be released by Christ's love on the cross. The play demonstrated how Christ now holds the key to death and Satan is defeated and his prisoners released. Digital images are available to download at Shutterfly.
