On Monday, June 23rd, the elementary division held their Grade 1-7 Awards and Spring Music Night at the Toronto Christian Community Church. Despite the oppressive heat and humidity outside, approximately 950 people (including the elementary students) gathered to celebrate, praise, and share the gift of music that God has given us.
After the opening prayer, our two emcees launched into the jam packed program for the evening. They kept the show rolling by introducing our Grade 5& 6 Dance Troupe, the 5 music ensembles (Ukulele Ensemble, Recorder Ensemble, Worship Team, Boomwhacker Ensemble, and Bucket Drumming Ensemble), our Senior Band and 3 choirs (Primary Choir, Senior Choir and Staff Choir). This year, we even had a special sports highlights video, recapping all the different sports that our Wesley Wildfire Teams competed in and how we ranked in each tournament.
Interspersed between these acts were our Grade 1-7 awards which consisted of the following:
- Daniel Award for Leadership
- Nehemiah Award for Perseverance
- Ruth Award for Loyalty
- Paul Award for Stewardship
- Barnabas Award for Encouragement
- Daniel Award for Integrity
- Jonathan Award for Friendship
- ACE (award for consistency in Attitude towards work and school, a Cooperative spirit and excellence in Effort)
- General Proficiency (Highest Average per grade)
- Gauss Math Competition Award
- Principal’s Award
Before the evening ended, Mrs. Serio gave some closing remarks. She gave thanks for God’s blessings on the student body as well as the teachers. She also gave a special acknowledgement to two teachers with special milestones this year at Wesley – Mrs. Binder with 10 years of service and Mrs. Vant Erve with 20 years of service.
We are so grateful for God’s grace and blessings for the wonderful evening to worship through song led by the Worship Team and to celebrate the many musical and academic successes and achievements of our student body.
