Term Closing- Program Rehearsal
All term long students have been learning new songs, working on art projects, and faithfully completing their lessons. The term closing program is an Easter themed program designed to showcase some of what the students are learning in school. It is a chance for them to practice their English in front of an audience, play and sing new songs they have learned, present oral reports, and memorized Bible passages. The students have been rehearsing each Wednesday after lunch. We hope many of you who are nearby will join us for the term 1 closing program on Thursday April 2nd at 10:30 at the KICS/FODE building in Samban. Ap Ma FODE RSC will also be presenting a couple of songs and a drama they have prepared. The theme of the program is “He’s Alive and Waiting for You”.
Science & Scripture
ACE curriculum is unique in that each and every book encourages the reading and memorization of scripture. Each morning our students repeat a pledge to the Bible and quote their memory passage for the week. So far they have memorized 16 verses of scripture this school year! We are so proud of how hard they work each day to hide God’s word in their hearts.
Another highlight of ACE curriculum is the hand-on projects and experiments that it includes. Student have had fun learning about propellers (below), heat transfer, plant development and chemical reactions (above) in the “rubber egg” experiment. These types of projects keep students interested in their lessons and help them remember the things they are learning.
It’s a New Day!
Each morning, our students sing a favorite song here, “It’s a New Day!” It is a good reminder that each day starts fresh and holds endless possibilities, but ultimately, the day belongs to the Lord. 2026 is a new school year that God has given us. As we serve Him, we look forward to seeing what new opportunities will arise.
Last Friday, Feb 27th, Keram International Christian School hosted a gathering of Samban educators in a combined school planning session. Within our small community, four schools are currently working towards educating the young people of the area. Teachers from Samban Primary School, Samban Central Elementary School, Keram International Christian School, and Ap Ma FODE RSC all participated in the meeting. We were happy to get to know several new teachers and hear about some exciting plans for the 2026 school year. We hope this spirit of cooperation continues throughout the year. Thank you all for participating.
