Groundbreaking!

Our board president and our school director take the first shovel full from the site of our new building.

It was an exciting morning as many parents, former parents, teachers, students, board members and local dignitaries gathered to celebrate the beginning of Omaha Christian Academy's first permanent building in their 35 years of existence. The ceremony started off with "The Star Spangled Banner" played by our school band. I thought we should be singing "Great is Thy Faithfulness" or as one mom said, "To God be the Glory"!! It is so completely of God that our school has finally come to this place. Then we should recite, "Not to us O Lord, but to Your name give glory forever." Or the Latin "Non nobis Domine, sed nomini tuo da gloriam!!!" (SING IT, like in "Henry V").

Several representatives got to join in on the shoveling. First of all the students, well represented by Harvest Community Church members!!!











Then the teachers' representatives. These two teachers have been at our school since the very first, or very close to the first years. They've seen A LOT of changes! And can rejoice that they are here to see this day.
