School
See our kids in action!
After 34 years of teaching, Joyce Wall will retire at the end of this school year. She has served Billings Christian School families as the 1st Grade teacher for 9 years. She also serves as our elementary lead teacher. She has blessed us in so many ways. Here’s what her students say:
Adeia—”She’s nice!” Mikel-Shea—”She lets us do art.” Siara—”She gives us free time.” Elaine—”She is a good teacher.” Jailyn—”She lets us draw in the morning and color in the afternoon.” Mili—”Sometimes she gives us candy.” Sara—”When I got in trouble and had 10 minutes, she gave me only 5 minutes.”
Isaac—”She’s very, very, very sweet!” Alliah—”She lets us do art.” Madisyn—”She gave us a slinky.” Karla—”She lets us do art.” Andrew—”She lets us play with her toys.”
You will be missed!! Thank you for sharing God’s love with our students.
Our office will be open
during the
summer from
8am-2pm Monday-Friday.

It was wonderful to see so many par-
ents, teachers, and board members
passionate about the future of Billings
Christian School!
From here our Strategic Planning
Committee in conjunction with our
Board of Directors and Foundation
Board, will continue to meet over the
summer in formulating a plan to en-
compass all of these areas. In addi-
tion to looking at growth opportunities,
Thank you to everyone who was
able to attend our Strategic Planning
meeting last month. Your input is
valuable as we move Billings Chris-
tian School forward according to
God’s design.
Many ideas were contributed con-
cerning the future direction of
Billings Christian School. Here were
the main topics discussed:
Expanded preschool hours
Improved traffic flow to and
from Grand Avenue
Added electives to High School
curriculum
Expanded Bible classes in the
High School
More community service oppor-
tunities for students

we will also be defining what makes
Billings Christian School unique.
We have been told again and again that
God is working to expand Billings Chris-
tian School. While God’s blessings on
us are many, what we want more than
anything is to glorify God in everything
we do at Billings Christian School.
We ask for your prayers for wisdom and
discernment as we contin-
ue this Strategic Planning
process. Our goal is to
serve our students, our
families, and our commu-
nity in a way that brings
honor to God.
The outcome of this process will be
to have a clear vision of our future
and a clear path to take us there.
Thank you to all of our families who were able to take
advantage of our early enrollment.
God has been so faithful in sending us students who want to learn His word and families who support a Christ-centered education. We will continue to see through the summer new students who God has guided to Billings Christian School.
Thank you to our many families who have told friends and family about Billings Christian School. We are blessed when a new family visits who have already been told what we are all about.
Those are the families we most want to add to our school . . . families just like you!
