FROM OUR PRINCIPAL
Hi Agritopia Families,
As we approach the sacred days of Good Friday and Easter Sunday, I find myself reflecting with deep gratitude on the incredible love and faithfulness of our God. This season draws us back to the heart of our faith, the cross and the empty tomb, and it reminds us that even in darkness, God’s promises are never broken.
On Good Friday, we remember the great sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who willingly bore our sins and suffered on our behalf. It is a day of solemn reflection, yet it leads us to the joy and victory of Resurrection Sunday. Because He lives, we have hope. Because He rose, we are free. What a powerful truth to share with our children and to carry in our hearts.
I’m reminded of the beloved hymn, Christ the Lord Is Risen Today, which so beautifully captures the triumph of Easter:
Christ the Lord is risen today, Alleluia!
Sons of men and angels say, Alleluia!
Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia!
Sing, ye heavens, and earth reply, Alleluia!
These words have echoed through generations of believers, reminding us that the grave could not hold our Savior. His resurrection is not just an event to be remembered; it is a living reality that continues to shape our lives, our families, and our school.
As a school community, we have seen God’s faithfulness in so many ways this year. He has guided us, protected us, and sustained us through challenges and joys alike. And as we look ahead to the final months of the school year, we do so with confidence in the One who holds all things together.
I encourage you to take time this weekend to pause as a family, to read the Gospel accounts of Jesus’ death and resurrection, and to worship together. Let your children see your faith, your awe, and your joy in the risen Lord.
On behalf of our faculty and staff, may I wish you a blessed Good Friday and a glorious Easter Sunday. Christ is risen, He is risen indeed! Alleluia!
Educating with eternity in mind,
