Senior Recognition Weekend

1/31/2017

Vespers

Senior Recognition weekend started off with one the seniors’ favorite events. For Friday night vespers the Campion staff talk about each individual senior. The teachers tell the parents and students how the senior has made an impact on this campus and how he or she has impacted the teachers.

Senior Edlyn Hernandez said, "The teacher that spoke about me gave a genuine message. I felt very appreciated, because I have never experienced anything like this before." Edlyn described how at public schools the teachers don't really talk about the students. Edlyn felt loved by the teacher that spoke about her.

From their freshmen year, students anticipate this evening. Senior Chelsea Ticonuwu remembered, "It felt surreal because in last years I watched other senior classes get recognized, but this was my year to get recognized. At the same time, it felt different being the one talked about." Chelsea described that it was scary because she didn't know what the staff member was going to say about her.

Senior Venessa Simamora also said, "I was very excited because I didn't know who was going to talk about me. I was also excited because I was the senior being recognized this year." Venessa told about how it was exciting because that night was all about her class.

Parents also enjoyed the special program recognizing the seniors. Parent Genoveva Sáenz stated, "It was very special to me that the staff would take time out of their day to say something about the students. I know that the students can get a bit overwhelming, but the teachers still love the kids. Thank you teachers for all you do."

Thank you to all the parents who were able to come out and support their students. This weekend is one that the seniors will not forget.

Talent Show

Talent show is one of the biggest highlights at Campion every year. Students’ families travel from all over to come eat yummy treats and laugh until their stomachs hurt. Campion sure pulled it off again this year! Raelynn Kelly, a proud 4-year senior gives her input: “The baked goods are always my favorite part about talent show, but the entertainment was amazing tonight.” Austin Rotinsulu and Jordi Obregon won first place for their performance of “This Town” by Niall Horan. Each senior spent countless hours preparing by setting up the gym, organizing the bake sale and concessions, and setting up props for performers.
The night was a whirlwind of singing, dancing, and seniors getting sold. Yes, sold. Another Campion tradition is to auction off seniors (in an effort to raise money for their class trip) to do various chores for their buyers. In total, the class profited at least $5,000.

iMPACT on Campion's Campus

1/24/2017

Many guests arrived this weekend, January 20-21, at Campion Church eager to be inspired by the iMPACT young adult rally. The rally, organized by a group led by Campion Academy’s recruiter, Jessica Rios, invited young adults from all over the Rocky Mountain Conference to come and learn the divine tactics of reaching out to the community and fulfilling the mission of the Seventh-day Adventist church.

The aim of iMPACT is to teach young people to be motivated to find their purpose in life and stand firmly in their faith to share the gospel throughout all the world.

The weekend event was launched with a hard-hitting introduction by humble and powerful evangelist, Taj Pacleb. Throughout the weekend were a variety of seminars lead by other well-known pastors like Daniel Birai of the Fort Collins church and Micheal Goetz from our own Campion church.

iMPACT highlights the reason we are all here, and why it is time to go home. Cassie Carr, a senior, attended all the meetings led by Pacleb in which she learned that “Anyone and everyone can be a missionary for Christ. It doesn’t matter who you are, if you make yourself available to God, He will transform you to be whoever you need to be to reach out to a person. He makes us qualified."

Another senior, Natalie Boonstra relates to this when she reflects on a testimony Pacleb shared of a lost friend. “It was encouraging to know that even the most on-fire people slip up, and God uses us to minister to them,” she says.

Farewell to Michael Torres

1/17/2017

Pastor Rob, Cheyenne Martinez, and Venessa Simamora present Mrs. Torres with their notes of encouragement.

We are deeply saddened by the loss of one of our Campion family, Michael Torres. Husband to Patricia Torres, Campion's Learning Resource director and ELL instructor, Michael passed away Monday evening, January 9, after a battle against cancer.

Our hearts go out to Patricia, her son Michael and his wife Katie, and son Patrick and his wife Alex. Michael's passions were Patricia, his children, grandchildren, and the Denver Broncos.

Patricia and Michael have lived on our campus for 12 years, and their sons Michael ('06) and Patrick ('08) both graduated from Campion. Michael even wished to retire on campus--he loved our school and church community so much! Whenever Patricia passed along the news that someone was praying for him, his face would light up.
Our students, staff, and church family joined together this Sunday, January 15, to do what Michael loved to do best--share a good meal and spend time with each other. After a memorial service in the church, we all ate together and shared stories. Campion students presented Patricia with a chain of hearts filled with handwritten notes of encouragement and appreciation.

We will sincerely miss Michael's Christian character, his patient attitude, his love for others, and his devotion to his family.
