This is a video of Elementary English 4/5’s Grammar Slam at the Buda campus.
The Grammar Slam is a much-anticipated favorite. This game provides an opportunity to show off all their grammar knowledge in a fun, fast-paced, competitive classroom event.
Marvelous job, beloved students.

While the media was glorifying the “right to die” movement, I revisited the story of Joni Eareckson. At seventeen, this star athlete broke her neck in a diving accident. After a few years, it became clear she would never regain the use of her limbs. Her journey through depression and doubt in the God she loved is brutal and honest; her conclusions, both convicting and liberating. Then in her early twenties, Joni wrote candidly about the pain of never being able to have a husband. I do not think I am spoiling anything to say that she is now Joni Eareckson Tada: author of 48 books, accomplished painter and singer, and leader of an international ministry for the disabled.

"The Screwtape Letters" by C.S. Lewis
Andy Serkis (the voice of Gollum from "The Lord of the Rings") gives an unforgettable vocal performance as the sinister elder demon, instructing his young protege on the finer arts of capturing the souls of men. A clever, thought-provoking, and entertaining CD series worth listening to in one's darkest moments.
