The countdown to summer is ON! 🎉 At Middletown Christian School (MCS), we believe the final weeks of school are just as important as the first. Whether your scholar is celebrating a year of growth or gearing up for new adventures, this end-of-year checklist will help them finish strong while keeping faith and learning alive all summer long!
📝 The MCS Finish-Strong Checklist
1. Celebrate Every Victory (Big & Small!)
"From mastering multiplication to showing kindness on the playground, every achievement matters! Encourage your scholar to:
✔ Reflect on their growth (Encourage your scholar to write a journal "I shined When____" )
✔ Thank teachers with a handwritten note or drawing
✔ Share their favorite Bible verse they learned this year"
2. Return & Renew (Library Books, Spirit, and All!)
Help your scholar:
✔ Return classroom books/lab supplies (lookin’ at you, magnifying glasses 🔍)
✔ Donate gently used uniforms for next year’s scholars
✔ Pack a ‘Summer Faith Kit’
3. Set Summer Goals (That Are Actually Fun!)
Goals don’t have to be boring! Try:
✔ ‘Adventure with God’ Challenge: Visit 5 new parks and pray at each one
✔ ‘Books & Ice Cream’ Tracker: Read 10 books = 10 scoops earned!
✔ ‘Secret Service Missions: Leave encouraging notes for neighbors
4. Connect with MCS Friends (Before Summer Starts!)
Friends who pray together, stay together! Encourage your scholar to:
✔ Exchange phone numbers with classmates (with parent approval!)
✔ Start a summer Bible story club with 2-3 friends
✔ Follow MCS on social media for summer faith challenges
🌞 Bonus: 3 Ways to Keep Learning Alive This Summer
"Bible STEM Challenges" (Build a Tower of Babel with spaghetti!)
"Prayer Scavenger Hunts" (Find things that remind you of God’s promises)
"Family Worship Nights" (Think campfire songs + s’mores!)
