Instructor Pilot, VT-28 “The Rangers,” United States Navy
Dane is now an instructor pilot in VT-28 “The Rangers,” flying the T-6B Texan II, and he loves every minute of it!
His group is the first stop for student naval aviators aspiring to earn their wings of gold. His squadron is located in Corpus Christi, TX. Dane just received orders to be a shooter on CVN 72 the USS Abraham Lincoln, which is a Nimitz class carrier. This will be a great leadership opportunity leading young sailors and being in charge of flight operations on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier. He and his wife Lindsay have recently celebrated having a baby girl – congratulations!
Chapel
Our first Chapel of year was without a doubt an impactful one! Students walked to Rockharbor for Chapel, in what proved to be a sweet time of worshipping and praising our King, developing a deeper understanding of the Son so we know how to better reflect Him, and seeking how Jesus is calling us to serve Him and others this year. Listen to this powerful message given by our Middle School Principal and Interim Head of School, Mrs. Harrison.
Teal vs. Black Competitions
In what proved to be our tightest competition in history with a score of 1,700 to 1,750, TEAL won the Fall Kickoff TvB Competition this year! Congrats to both teams for participating with Christ-like character and encouraging both their team and the opposite team!
Afternoon Water Activities
The students fully embraced each of the water inflatables and activities as a welcomed reprieve from the heat! They bounced from water slides, to slip n slides, to water balloon fights, to the obstacle course, to attempting to dunk some brave staff members in the Dunk Tank! The joy that afternoon was palpable!
