Your Gifts in Action - A Progress Report
Dear Partner,
In The Chronicles of Narnia, Aslan the Lion is not only the King and creator of Narnia but also the captain of the ship Dawn Treader. Similarly, we have made the intentional decision to make Jesus, our Lion King, the captain and Lord of our school. He is the One who guides and directs our path, the source of our strength and purpose, just as Aslan is in the world of Narnia.
With His leadership and love, we trust that under His authority, our school will continue to thrive both spiritually and academically. It is my privilege to share with you the wonderful accomplishments that, by God’s grace, we achieved this school year as an educational community. At Dawn Treader Christian School, we believe that
every child in Paterson deserves the opportunity to experience a Christian education filled with love, values and academic excellence.
This year, we are overjoyed to celebrate a 10% increase in enrollment, which is a clear reflection of God’s faithfulness. We are grateful for the collective effort and dedication that has made this possible, and it is with great honor that we share the fruits of this ministry of Christian education with you.
"Thank you for your continued support. With God’s help, we are confident that the best is yet to come".
Accreditation through ACSI (Association of Christian Schools International)
One of the greatest milestones we reached this year is obtaining accreditation from ACSI, the Association of Christian Schools International. This recognition validates the high standards of education we strive to provide and serves as a testimony to the unwavering dedication and hard work of our teachers and leaders. Their commitment to teaching with excellence, while honoring God in all they do, is evident in this significant achievement. We are excited about the new opportunities this accreditation will bring for our students, both academically and in their spiritual growth.
Renovation of 219 Windows in the School
This year, we were also blessed to complete the renovation of 219 windows across our school. This project, made possible by the generous support of our community, has enhanced the security and comfort of our school environment and symbolizes the renewal that God works within us.
Just as we continue to renew and improve our facilities, we also seek spiritual renewal, striving to align our hearts and actions with God’s will in all areas of our lives.
Expansion of Programs and Classroom Improvements
Looking ahead, we are committed to expanding our educational programs and further enhancing our classrooms. We understand the importance of providing a nurturing learning environment where students can grow academically, socially and spiritually. Our goal is to offer programs that enrich the whole child, developing knowledge, character and faith. We trust God will continue to bless the growth and success of our school, and we eagerly anticipate the direction He will lead us in the coming years
I Pray that We Continue Forward with Faith and Hope
I pray that this message touches your heart and inspires you to continue partnering with us in this important work. Every prayer, every contribution, and every act of support leaves an eternal impact on the lives of our students. Together, as the Dawn Treader family, we can continue moving forward, trusting that the Lord will lead us into a future that will bear much fruit for His glory.
We invite you to share this testimony with others who may be a blessing to our school and the mission God has entrusted to us. Thank you for your continued support. With God’s help, we are confident that the best is yet to come.
With gratitude and blessings,
Pastor Charles Salinas
