This year at JKCS, our school-wide theme is "Passion for Jesus; Compassion for Others".  For more than half a century, JKCS has sought help our students to grow to love our Lord more and more, but we have also sought to provide opportunities where students can be a blessing to the Woodstock community.  As a result, the greater Woodstock community continues to be a blessing to our school! This year's theme will guide our assemblies, devotional times, and even our curricular development.  One of the versus the staff is using to support this year's them comes from Matthew 22: 37-39.  These verses are poplarly known as "The Greatest Commandment", where one of the disciples ask Jesus what is the greatest of all commandments.  The Lord replies, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself."
