CHAPEL

 
Chapel is held weekly in the Thunderbird Adventist Academy auditorium, on Friday at 11:15 a.m.  Each week a specific class is responsible for chapel.  This provides opportunity for students to gain experience in public speaking, praying and participating in drama activities.  Parents are invited and encouraged to attend.




  DAILY WORSHIP/BIBLE CLASSES

Each classroom at TCE starts the day with worship.  This helps the students realize that the best way to start each day is with Jesus.  Bible classes are also an important aspect of TCE.  Each class has key learning objectives for the school year to complete. 

Grades 5 -6 are privileged to have Pastor Charles White in their classroom each week to teach a Bible class; grades 7 - 8 are taught once a week by Pastor Benjamin Lundquist.
 


 Reading Buddies

 
 
 
The 5th - 8th grade students at TCE each have a Little Buddy in the lower grades that they read with once a week.  The Reading Buddies spend time together reading to each other, praying with each other, and working on special projects in Chapel on Fridays.  The younger and older students both love this program.  It encourages our older students to be effective leaders of our school.


 Athletics

TCE is fortunate to have access to Thunderbird Adventist Academy's swimming pool and gymnasium for physical education
classes. The first part of each school year begins with swimming for PE and culminates in a swim meet where awards are given to all participants as well as those who excel in each event. The rest of the year, the gymnasium is used to allow the students to gain experience in other sports, including basketball and volleyball.
