the participation by Trinity students,” said Scott Roelofs,<br />
<strong>Timothy</strong> <strong>Christian</strong> coach and social studies teacher. “It was<br />
fun for us because we had all the private league schools<br />
there; it was sort of like a league championship.”<br />

formulate vibrant, biblically-based concepts of politics and<br />
law while fostering a view of citizenship that stems from<br />

Auction 2006<br />
More than 200 people enjoyed a delicious catered dinner<br />
and an evening of fun entertainment with friends, and raised<br />
almost $60,000 for the school. Thanks to everyone who<br />
helped make this evening a success. Whether you attended,<br />
helped organize or donated items, your contribution was<br />
very important and we appreciate your support of <strong>Christian</strong><br />
education at <strong>Timothy</strong> <strong>Christian</strong> <strong>Schools</strong>. Incidentally, we<br />
now have a mustache-less high school principal as a result<br />
of the auction. (Thanks, Mr. Rinsema!)<br />
