This year four middle school students entered the Junior VASE Competition (Visual Art Scholastic Event) which is sponsored by the Texas Art Education Association. It was our first year to participate in this art event. Students spend approximately eight minutes with a juror for an individualized interview where they discuss their art work and are given a personal critique.
Our students received both Excellent and Superior ratings (Superior being the highest rating).
All artwork that receives a Superior rating moves into a second round where they are judged at the State Level. Six of the eight entered pieces went into the second round of judging. One piece was selected for a Silver Medal.
The following students represented Prince of Peace at this event:
Bryce F. (7th grade) Superior Rating for both Painting and Colored Pencil
Caitlin K. (7th grade) Excellent Rating for both Painting and Colored Pencil
Ji Woon N. (8th grade) Superior Rating for both Painting and Colored Pencil (Silver Medal for Colored Pencil)
Courtney N. (8th grade) Superior Rating for both Painting and Colored Pencil

SOME THOUGHTS AT THE END OF A SCHOOL YEAR
It’s hard to believe that we’re at the conclusion of another school year. Summer activities will soon be in full gear—sports, camps, vacations, special classes. For some of our students and families, this will be the final chapter of their association with Prince of Peace Christian School. New horizons and new adventures are calling. We thank you for your participation and support in the past year and sincerely pray that you will continue to walk with our Heavenly Father as you grow and mature—physically, emotionally and spiritually.
For those committed to return for another year of uncommon experiences, we want to thank you and hope you too have a fantastic summer vacation. We love and serve an Uncommon God who is totally committed to us and our place in His Family. My prayer is that you will daily talk to Him in prayer, worship with your family at every opportunity and faithfully spend time in His Holy Word. May the following bring you Peace, Comfort and Security and have a most blessed summer.
When you feel sad-------------------------read John 14
When people fail you----------------------read Psalm 27
When you tend to worry------------------read Matthew 6:19-34
When you are in danger------------------read Psalm 91
When God seems far away-------------read Psalm 139
When you feel fearful or lonely---------read Psalm 23
When you become bitter or critical---read 1 Corinthians 13
When you feel down and out------------read Romans 8:21
When you want peace and rest--------read Matthew 11:25-30
When the world seems bigger than God---read Psalm 90
When you want Christian assurance--------read Romans 8:1-30
When you want courage for a task-----------read Joshua 1
When you feel you need help------------------ read Psalm 121
When people/friends seem unkind----------read Matthew 5:44-48
When you get depressed-------------------------read Psalm 130
When you feel anxious--------------------------- read Psalm 142
When you feel like celebrating----------------- read Psalm 95 and 100
Please accept my personal “THANKS” for your love and support this year. I look forward to continued ministry with our students and their families!
If you have any questions about Baptism, would like to have your child baptized or have other spiritual concerns, please contact me at extension 236 or e-mail curt.riske@princeofpeace.org. Have a blessed week!!

Our prayer for our school and students this week is that we will have an uncommon contentment – realizing that God loves us deeply, will care for whatever needs we have and that we can trust Him fully with our lives.
Philippians 4:11-13 – “I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength.”
Please join us on Wednesday mornings at 8:30 in the prayer room at the back of the sanctuary. For additional information, contact Melissa Parrott at melissa.parrott@gmail.com.
