Sophomores and Juniors Toured Grove City College spending the day with their "pen pals" as part of a tradition established by Dr. Roger Mackey for his education majors to get to know students from private Christian urban schools and introduce them to GCC. The day concluded with fun and games and a picnic attended by all.
Freshmen stayed "home" and worked on a service project for soldiers wounded in combat, then treated themselves (in the tradition of our Spanish class) to lunch at a nearby Mexican restaurant!

Introducing Cornerstone Prep's First Foreign Exchange Student- Marissa Costrellon from Panama

If you were at Commencement, you may have had the chance to meet the latest addition to our Cornerstone Prep family. Marissa graduated from a private high school in Panama, then traveled here primarily to gain the experience of attending an English speaking school. She resides with the Gaffney family until the end of summer, and has been a wonderful blessing to our students, staff and school. Marissa participated on our track team, and performed at the Fine Arts Expo. She will be sadly missed by all!

Other Missions, Ministry & Awareness Activities

The children were on tour throughout the area to raise awareness for the causes of poverty, AIDS and orphans.
