Last Friday we had a special Chapel Service. As a part of the service we retired Hector Mejias' number 27 in honor of his outstanding baseball career here at Upper Room Christian School. Hector is now a Junior at NCAA Division 1 Grambling University in Louisiana! He is a starting first or third baseman and is attending Grambling on a full scholarship from Upper Room! Hector came to us as an I-20 International student from the Dominican Republic and graduated Upper Room three years ago.
After the ceremony our Head Varsity Baseball Coach Passalaqua (shown above with Hector) shared an inspiring message with our students about the importance of Character, Integrity and Diligence in everything that we do! He emphasised that not only was Hector a great student as well as a great athlete but he is also a great Man of God. He tries to live his life in a way that is pleasing to the Lord and helpful to those around him. He also volunteered here at Upper Room Christian World Center whenever he got the chance.
We are thankful that God has sent us such wonderful students and staff and we pray that we continue to strive as a school for His best!
Grace and Peace,
Ed
