Students express their gratitude as Thanksgiving approaches

As Thanksgiving break approaches, students and staff are eager to take a break and spend time with friends and family. Dorm students look forward to breaks from school so that they can go home and see their families. Ben Maxson, a junior, shares, “I live all the way in California and love going home to see old friends and family. Campion is a huge blessing but homeleaves are a great time to relax and recover.”

​Even though it’s hard for dorm students to be away from their families, Campion staff tries their best to make Campion a home away from home. Making connections with other students definitely helps students not to be homesick. Melody Mambo, a freshman, reflected, “I’m thankful for the people here at Campion. I didn’t think I was going to have a lot of friends, but I’ve created special bonds with so many people. I know that these bonds will last for a long time. I’m also very thankful for the staff and teachers because they work hard to help us become better individuals around our campus and community.”

​Something that makes Campion unique is that you don’t only go to school with your classmates, but you also live with them. Cade Lukens, a four year senior, shared, “I’m truly thankful for the friends that I have made at Campion. Back home I was homeschooled, so I didn’t make a lot of friends. But the memories and friendships that I’ve made at Campion has changed my life dramatically for the better. Most importantly my relationship with God has grown everyday that I have been here at Campion. My relationship with God is at its best, and it is the most important relationship to me. There are ups and downs, but I am truly grateful and thankful to be here at Campion Academy.”
