HMS Richards Adventist School and Campion Acadmey’s music departments joined forces to perform spiritually uplifting Christmas selections during Saturday’s church service. The HMS choir and Campion choral combined with the orchestra to sing “Christmas Time”. Throughout the service students from both schools led scripture readings from messianic prophecies to the birth of Jesus.

Orchestra, Jazz Band, Handbells, and Koinonia ensembles all performed Christmas favorites. One of the pieces that handbells performed was Silver Bells, which according to Ms. Simmons must be played every year by handbells. A favorite by the Orchestra was the song “Let it Go” from the movie Frozen. The Jazz Band performed a well-known song by Mariah Carey: “All I Want for Christmas is You,” with soloist Mabel Cabondon. Koinonia performed the pentatonix version of “Mary Did You Know.” Shawn Ferguson performed a solo in this song and surprised the audience with his beatboxing skills. The Jazz Band ended the night with “We Wish you a Merry Christmas.”

Leaving Friday afternoon and spending the night in Casper, the students shared prayer, music, scripture, an object lesson and a sermon for the Sabbath service.
The group of students participating in the church service were all residents of the boy’s dorm. Chaplain Carlos Santana was blessed by the experience, sharing, “Bonding with the guys in the first bro trip was awesome! Getting to spend time with young men of God was so fulfilling.” Instead of the usual shorter testimonies, Andrew Kramer, senior, presented a full length sermon about God’s Will at the Casper Adventist Church. Santana expressed that this was a successful SWAT trip: “One of the best they’ve ever done.” As usual, the students expressed that they felt touched by the loving and welcoming spirit of the church members, and enjoyed the opportunity to visit with former Campion pastor, Mike Taylor. Izuchi Nwankwo, sophomore, shared, “The trip to Wyoming was an amazing experience. I got to grow closer to God and my friends.” Eva Resz, Student News Team Middle school students from HMS Richards Adventist School, Vista Ridge Academy, and Brighton Adventist Academy came to the Campion Academy gym this past Friday to experience a three-hour basketball clinic led by Campion Varsity players. The clinic began with students focusing on improving their skills. The drills involved dribbling, shooting, and passing. Abby Cleveland, one of the students who participated in the camp, commented, “My favorite part of the camp was doing the drills. We had to do a passing drill where we practiced our bounce and chest passes. I felt like I had improved more on my passing.” After the drills, they competed in a mini-tournament. There were around 45 students in total and they were separated into four different teams. They had to use teamwork with new people in order to be a successful team. Grace Garman, senior and team coach, stated that, “I had fun during the camp. I got to coach my team and help the players get better. It was competitive but I had a lot of fun!” The camp was a great opportunity for students to improve their basketball skills and get to know students from other Adventist schools. Catie Fairfield, Student News Team The international students from Brazil, Congo, and Mexico planned the last Saturday night activities with soccer and volleyball tournaments, and Mexican loteria. They also provided a variety of desserts that came from their countries.
The students made teams to represent a country or a region of the world to compete. The soccer tournament was a very competitive event; it ended with teams Africa and Brazil in the finals. While Brazil is famous for soccer, the Africans showed that soccer is also popular where they come from and beat Brazil 4-1. “I really enjoyed the international night especially because I love to play soccer and beating the Brazilians was the best part of it. They played well and it looked like they knew what they were doing,” shared Obed Simba, international student from the Democratic Republic of Congo. The volleyball tournament was the most exciting event which brought everyone’s attention. The Indonesians first played against the Brazilians but they ended up losing. For their second game they won against the Latinos and got their spot in the final against the Brazilians again. In the end, the championship went to the Brazilians. “I loved the volleyball tournament, especially the final game, it was insane. The international night went very well because of the fun and desserts that we had. I'm glad that we made it to the final and I hope that they enjoyed playing volleyball with us,” Gustavo Silveira, international student from Brazil, expressed. In the student center, Daneil Camas, international student from Mexico, hosted a game of loteria, which is a typical bingo game played in many Spanish-speaking countries. “It was really interesting the way we got excited about the game. It was good being able to play and have fun with them,” mentioned Camas. Campion currently has about 13 international students this semester. The evening was a fun way for them to share some of their favorite foods and activities with the rest of the students. Pedro Vieira, Student News Team This past Sunday, the Campion students wore glittering gowns, sharp suits, and unique masks for the annual SA banquet held at the Brighton Adventist Church fellowship hall. The students had the opportunity to be escorted by their dates to the masquerade ball-themed event where they enjoyed dinner, entertainment, and photos.
Live piano music by Pastor Leandro Bizama set the ambiance to start the evening. After that, Mabel Cabandon and Janelle Anggormas performed the song, “Too Good to Say Goodbye” by Bruno Mars. Anggormas, freshman, elaborated, “I was nervous at first for my performance but after I felt like I did well and was glad I did it. With this being my first banquet I had fun. It was a good opportunity for me to get to know my date better.” The couples dating game was a highlight of the activities provided. Three different couples were brought up in front and they each had to take off their shoes. Then Carlos Santana, chaplain, would ask questions such as “Who’s the most likely to _?” and they would have to guess by raising the shoe of the person who best fit the description. It was entertaining for Ekenna Nwankwo, Senior SA president, who expressed, “My favorite part of the night was the couples game. It was funny because you were surprised by some of the answers. You got to see everyone’s differences and the roles they played in their relationships.” The students got a variety of food throughout the night. They started with fresh-baked bread and following was squash soup. Beforehand they got to choose their main course with the options being: mediterranean vegetable quiche, spinach stripple quiche, and lentil pot pie. Lastly, they ended the night with their choice of dessert: Mille-feuille, apple compote crepe, or chocolate mousse. Jack Jordan, junior and SA Activities Director, elaborated, “The night was fun and I really enjoyed the food. I got to try the lentil pot pie and the chocolate mousse which I was excited about.” Throughout the night, the students voted for the best duo, best mask, best dressed girl, and best dressed boy. The winners were announced at the end; Shawn Fergurson and Olivia Arizola got best duo, Anya Francis won both best dressed girl and best mask, and Aaron Oster got best dressed boy. Afterwards, the students had some free time to hangout with friends and take pictures in front of the booths that were decorated with vines and lights. Catie Fairfield, Student News Team |
