Day 6: A Middle School, an Elementary School, and Calvin College

This morning the students got to sleep in just a little bit, but we all had to get to Grand Rapids Christian Middle School.  The middle school students really got into the Stomp routine and really just had a blast jumping up and down and waving their hands.  If the picture below is blurry, it is because the students are dancing and having fun!

After a brief downtime, we traveled to Grand Rapids Christian Elementary School.  When the elementary school students got to the gym, the Rehoboth students made a "tunnel" with their arms to welcome the elementary students, who had a blast from the first minute they walked onto the floor.

The elementary school students also got into the music, but they especially enjoyed being able to sing their song to the Rehoboth students!  Here's a picture of the Rehoboth students enjoying a brief concert from the elementary students.

At both of the above venues, at least one student was chosen to wear a traditional Navajo dress, which was exciting for all of the students.

After this, it was on to Calvin College for the rest of the night.  First, our students got to experience eating in the college dining hall.  Then they all received tours of the campus, in groups of eight, given by current Calvin students.  Coming back from their tours, the students had some time to relax.  The students had a little more practicing to do in the chapel where they performed later that night.

After the short rehearsal, our students were treated to a fancy dinner by Calvin, where they got to eat with current Calvin students who are Rehoboth alumni.  Here are a few of the tables of Rehoboth students.

The concert, again, went wonderfully, and most of the students returned to their host families, although a few went to see some movie about being hungry and playing games.  As always, you can find the rest of the photos here.
