The planning of this event began with providing opportunities for the students moving up to meet upperclassmen and feel more comfortable before they moved to Middle and High School. What ended up transpiring before my eyes was remarkable. I saw my High School students become the light of Christ as they extended hands of welcome no matter the walk of life. I saw High School students become one with these “strangers” so no one left the field not feeling as if he/she belonged to Calvary. I saw a Christ-like love in the middle of competition. I saw High School students understand the importance of having self decrease and Christ increase as they loved on each of these students.

The planning of this event began with fun in mind; however, the end result was raising our standards of building relationships to the next level. We chose “Next Level Cavaliers” as the title for this event because of our students who are rising to the next grade level, but it came to mean so much more. The Student Ambassadors embodied what Calvary is truly all about--being the light of Christ in all that we do. So proud of this group!
