FreedomBy Stephen Novotny, J.D.This fall, well over 300 guests came toCypress Christian SchoolÕs FreedomBanquet. Those attending the banquetheard a passionate message fromCongressman Ted Poe about the need ourcommunity and nation has for Christianschools, especially when other influencesare at work to change our culture anddepart from the Christian principles thathave made our nation strong. The banquetserved as a wonderful celebration of whatGod is doing through the ongoing work ofCypress Christian School and a celebrationof the freedoms we enjoy as a school underthe rights protected by the Constitution ofthe United States. There are three distinc-tive areas of freedom that make our schoolunique and valuable to our students, ourcommunity, and our nation. At CCS, weenjoy the freedom to think, the freedom tospeak openly of reality, and the freedom toshare meaning and purpose.

At Cypress Christian School, there isfreedom to think.One of the hallmarks of Cypress ChristianSchool is a pursuit of academic excellence.All around the country, I have wonderfulfriends that faithfully serve in our publicschools. Regrettably, they feel limited intheir freedom to pursue truth, which isessential for academic excellence. Due topoor decisions in the court system and regu-lations handed down from detached govern-mental bureaucracies, most schools are sti-fled and operate under a blanket of under-stood censorship. It is unfortunate thatteachers in our public schools and universi-ties are generally prohibited from evenacknowledging evidence that supports thetheory of intelligent design or that the ideaof creation is worthy of serious discussion.Heaven help the teacher in these institu-tions if they talk about the profound eviden-tiary flaws in evolutionary theory. The factthat the evolutionary, transitional ape-manfossils that were so proudly promoted inbiology textbooks, and religiously taught toschool children for decades, are now provenfrauds has not diminished the zeal of thosecommitted to an Òevolution theory onlyÓschool system at all costs. There is no libertyin these places. There is only the morosefeeling that an educatorÕs best chances ofsurvival is to put oneÕs mind in neutral, obe-diently repeat the tired Darwinist party line,

or simply sit in silence. So much for academ-ic freedom.

In contrast, at Cypress Christian School, thereis freedom. Our students are taught theDarwinian theories just like students in otherschools. However, unlike their public schoolcounterparts, our students are not placedbehind an intellectual iron curtain that for-bids thinking or forbids consideration of evi-dence that is contrary to a secular-humanistphilosophy. Instead, our students experiencethe freedom of being able to learn about theevidence that supports the account of theearthÕs creation, the creation of man, andintelligent design. At Cypress ChristianSchool, students enjoy the liberty to study allfacts and evidence to determine what theoryof causation makes the most sense in reality,and not merely what theory is most expedi-ent for political considerations.

At Cypress Christian School, there isfreedom to speak openly of reality.Students at Cypress Christian School are freeto accept reality and speak openly about theworld, as it actually exists. Our teachers arefree to openly discuss that certain actionsare right, and that other actions are wrong.We are not manipulated into saying sillythings like Òcertain behaviors are not moral-ly wrong, they are just different lifestylechoicesÓ or ÒeveryoneÕs opinion is of equalworth.Ó This is simply not reality. To thecontrary, the world is full of ideas and opin-ions that are objectively worthless, andshould be discarded as such, as soon as theyare uttered in the open air. One fellowmight say, ÒIn my opinion, only the strongshould be allowed to survive.Ó If indeed allopinions are of equal validity, and there areno moral absolutes, what then would beoneÕs justification to stop such a man fromlooting all of his neighbors that were veryyoung, very aged, disabled or just sleepingat the wrong time? Imagine if people triedto actually live in a society governed by suchnonsense. This is certainly the way of mad-ness. Even so, under the watchwords ofÒinclusivenessÓ and ÒtoleranceÓ the freedomto admit that such moral and logical realitiesexist is being suppressed.

Happily, Cypress Christian School enjoys thefreedom to accept and teach the realities ofour universe which include acknowledgingthat there is both a spiritual and physical ele-ment to our existence. Since biblical revela-tion takes precedence over the often erro-neous or self-serving opinions of men, ourstudents understand that the law to loveoneÕs neighbor as oneself is morally superior

to the law of the jungleÑwhere brutalizingthe weak becomes acceptable. CypressChristian School understands that whenmoral truth is free to be recognized, onlythen is the pathway established to humandignity, justice, and freedom. When biblicalprinciples are understood, only then is anindividual protected from self injury broughtabout from lack of discernment. When thereis freedom to acknowledge the spiritual truthsof life, only then is the individual free to enjoythe whole of life itself.

At Cypress Christian School, there isfreedom to share meaning andpurpose.At Cypress Christian School, we celebrate thefreedom to share with students the meaningand purpose for life. For many, life only hasdisappointment, pain, unfairness, and uncer-tainty. Despair threatens to swallow up anypromise of good, and it is hard for people toendure life unless there is a reason to believethere is some meaning and reward for perse-vering. In addition to the difficulty of life itself,people eventually feel locked in a prison ofguilt and regret that comes from poor choicesand the moral wrongs. In the face of the over-whelming sense of insignificance or despon-dency, people look for answers, for meaning,and for hope. Without the good news thatthere is a purpose for life, and that they canbe forgiven for their wrongs, people remainlocked away in hopelessness.

At Cypress Christian School, our teachersenjoy the freedom to teach students aboutthe rich purpose for life, the reason to perse-vere through difficulties, and the forgivenessfrom wrongs that an individual may receive.Teachers are free to talk in the classroomabout the relationship with God that one canhave through repentance and faith in theRedeemer, as revealed in the HolyScriptures. When a person experiences thisforgiveness, possesses a right relationshipwith God, and accepts GodÕs purpose fortheir life, then that person is set free toexperience true meaningfulness. The joy thatresults from this is deeper than a mere feel-ing and transcends changing circumstances.It is a sense of well-being that comes fromthe knowledge that all things have a pur-pose, and all wrongs will eventually be maderight. The freedom to share such truthsabout life is precious indeed, and makes thatgold star achieved on a spelling test shinejust a bit brighter.

HEAD OF SCHOOL

Never Give Up Speaking to banquetguests, Senior DanielRodriguez reflectedon how CCS hasimpacted his life.From academics tochapel to Bible class-es to football, Danielthanked his teach-ers, his coaches, andhis friends for helping him Òperseverethrough tough times and grow in wisdom.ÓSpecifically, he gave Head Football CoachJacob Spenn high praise for teaching godlyprinciples to football players both on andoff the field. Daniel said, ÒI have learnedthe value of never giving up, teamwork,and how to keep going even with unbeat-able odds.Ó Daniel quoted Romans 8:28,ÒAnd we know that in all things God worksfor the good of those who love him, whohave been called according to his pur-pose,Ó and James 1:2-4, ÒConsider it purejoy, my brothers and sisters, wheneveryou face trials of many kinds, because youknow that the testing of your faith pro-duces perseverance. Let perseverance fin-ish its work so that you may be matureand complete, not lacking anything.Ó

Keynote Speaker Congressman Ted PoeCongressman Ted Poe addressed a combined group of over 300 Cypress ChristianSchool parents, supporters, teachers, and donors at the Freedom Banquet, heldOctober 16, 2010. Congressman Poe shared how his family personally benefittedfrom investing in Christian education, reinforcing how the nation needs the princi-ples that are taught in a Christian school. The Congressman views the nation in themiddle of a battle with those who want to deny our heritage as a Christian nation.Ted Poe pointed out that Congress begins each session with prayer, and thepledge of allegiance to the American flag, emphatically stating that, ÒIn God WeTrust,Ó is our national motto, adding, ÒThe portrait of Moses, the great law giver,still gazes down on my own United States House of Representatives as well as inthe Supreme Court across the street. America is great because God has continuedto shed His grace upon our nation.Ó

An Investment of Eternal Value Allie Borkovich, 2008 CCS Graduate, tooktime out of her busy college schedule atTexas A&M University to speak to CCSparents, employees,and special guests atthe FreedomBanquet.

ÒAn investment is aÔdevoting, using, orgiving of time, talent,or emotional energyas for a purpose or toachieve something.ÕYou may be askingÉis my child being pre-pared for life after high school?Éfor col-lege?Éfor the real world? Since my first dayat Texas A&M, I have never once felt ill-pre-pared or behind. After graduating from CCS,I began college with 26 credit hoursÑfourhours short of sophomore status and mostof those due to the dual credit opportuni-ties that were available at CCS. In my col-lege-level English class at CCS, I read worksof C.S. Lewis and PilgrimÕs Progress byÉ

ELEMENTARY

“Can the liberties of a nation be thought securewhen we have removed their only firm basis, aconviction in the minds of the people that theseliberties are the gift of God?”

Thomas Jefferson, 1791

ÒThe religion which has introduced civilliberty is the religion of Christ and Hisapostles. . . to this we owe our free con-stitutions of government.Ó- Noah Webster

Webster and our countryÕs foundingfathers understood that our libertiescome from God. The future of our liber-ties lies with our young people, and thefoundation for the future is laid in thelives of our citizens during the formativeyears of elementary school. AbrahamLincoln stated, ÒThe philosophy of theclassroom in one generation will be thephilosophy of the government in thenext.Ó We are delighted to partner withour elementary parents to provide aneducation based upon academic excel-lence and Biblical values. In addition todeveloping solid academic skills that willprepare them for life, our students arebeing challenged to develop their valuesystem based upon GodÕs Word. Thisfoundation we are laying for them nowwill equip them with the moral compassthat will guide their lifelong decisions.

It is a delight to walk down the halls ofCypress Christian Elementary School! Ourstudents are daily taught the truth of GodÕsWord, memorize Scripture, and raise theirvoices in praise to our God. Students arehonoring God in their speech and through

their actions both in the classroom and onthe playing field. I am so pleased with thesuperior academic instruction presentedfrom a distinctly Christian perspective.During a faculty meeting, one of our newteachers (new to CCS, but experienced inthe public school system) stated, ÒI amtruly amazed at all that these studentsknow in fifth grade! They know all of theirprepositions, the AmericanÕs Creed, etc.ÓPraise God for strong academics!

We thank our Lord for a wonderful firstquarter this year.

¥ God has brought to us a fantasticgroup of new teachers to complementthe excellent existing faculty!

Dr. Lisa Longridge, Math/ScienceDepartment Chair, assists a studentin the science lab.

ÒWhere the rubber meets the road.Ó Ibelieve it was Firestone Tire and RubberCompany that coined this term expressingthe notion that the best car is only asgood as its tires. The best design and con-struction of a car will make little differ-ence with poor tires. In all organizations,there is that place Òwhere the rubbermeets the road,Ó and unless that contactis the best it can be, the mission of theorganization will be very difficult to fulfill.

In education it is widely recognized thatthe rubber meets the road in the class-room and is specifically related to thequality of the teacher in the classroom. Itis important to have safe and clean facili-ties, with adequate materials and equip-ment. Appropriate support servicesincluding co-curricular programs areimportant too, but without a qualityteacher in the classroom, effective educa-tion will not take place.

Our teachers at CCS profoundly under-stand the eternal dimensions of theirwork, for they have the freedom to nour-ish not only the minds but also the heartsand souls of their students. Serving in aschool that emphasizes a childÕs completedevelopment, our teachers have the privi-leged opportunity and freedom to trans-mit the core academic skills as well as thelessons that count most in life: lessonsabout spirituality, love, values, the won-

der of creation, and the purpose of exis-tence. Can any work be more important?

Indeed, the work of the CCS teacher is ofsuch significance, it is often regarded as aministry and a calling, rather than just ajob. One Christian school teacherdescribed it this way: ÒI look at this job asa vocation, not as a career. I really thinkthat the work that IÕm doing has eternalconsequences.Ó

At CCS we strive to offer a caring, orderly,safe, and nurturing environment that

emphasizes the education of the wholechild. We encourage academic excellence,and we treat our teachers as professionals,giving them considerable autonomy in mat-ters of instruction. The disciplined environ-ment, rigorous curriculum, caring communi-ty, and high expectations at CypressChristian make it a very effective school byproviding students an education based uponacademic excellence and biblical values.

A century ago, many parents counted onschools to help rescue their children from

the terrible shadow of poverty. Today, anew generation of children needs deliver-ance from a far more crushing poverty: apoverty of spirit. In an age which some-times seems so void of basic values, anage where children are coarsened by themedia and numbed by nihilism, parentsare calling on Christian schools to helpthem infuse their childrenÕs lives with pur-pose and meaning. They desperately wantteachers who can enliven the mind as wellas the heart; teachers who can call young-sters to a life of service and love; teachers

who can not only teach children to readand write, but also to tell right fromwrong based on biblical values, not manÕsvalues. At CCS our teachers are willing,able and free to fulfill this calling ofChristian parents for their children.

ArtArt students have been drawing from still life. They arehoning their technique and skills as they use graphite andcolor pencils to create compositions of western items, pro-vided by the Nealy family. Some of these drawings will beconsidered for Rodeo Art and TAPPS contests which willtake place in the spring.

As an annual service project, our secondary art studentscreated Òbirthday postersÓ that were used to encourageyouth during an epiphany ministry for Giddings StateSchool, which is a juvenile correctional facility of the TexasYouth Commission located in Lee County, Texas nearGiddings. Mr. Mike Jones from Cypress Bible Church hasbeen the contact person for this ministry for the past sev-eral years.

Our next projects will be working 3-D with various mediaranging from paper, clay, and wire.

DramaSixth Grade Theatre: Students learnedpantomime and performed a ÒSilentMovie,Ó in which they created a scenewith a partner with songs from ÒHey DJ!ExperienceÓ by a local artist MicheleThibeaux, who later visited the class andtaught them how to make music withtheir hands and voice only. They also per-formed in ÒJack and the Beanstalk.Ó

Seventh and Eighth Grade Theatre:Students learned intermediate acting skillsand are performing scenes in groups oftwo to three people. They will choose,

block, and perform a ten minute scene.They will finish by performing ÒThePrincess and the PeaÓ by playwright KarenRiehl.

High School Theatre: Students learnedadvanced acting skills, including stagedirections, acting in a monologue, andimprovisation skills. They worked on a tenminute scene in groups of three. The firstsemester ended with a one-act play pro-duction of ÒHold the OnionsÓ by play-wright Conrad Davidson. During theremaining part of the year, students will

learn technical theatre aspects includingplaywriting, stage makeup, set design, andcostume design. The second semester willalso include KIDZ PLAYZ where theatrestudents will teach elementary studentshow to write a play, and will then performthe chosen plays for them.

Advance Theatre: Students learned theins and outs of producing a play. Theyperformed ÒAct Three, Scene FiveÓ byTerry Ortwein. Synopsis: Five students arerehearsing Act Three, Scene Five ofRomeo and Juliet. Things are not going

well. Inexperience, egos, andjealousies are becomingmore important than theshow. The sometimes comic,always touching, love storyof Romeo and Juliet is paral-leled by a growing offstagerelationship. This play wasstudent directed. Studentswill continue the play pro-duction aspects and partici-pate in TAPPS competition.

Investment of Eternal Value contÕd.John Bunyan as Ilearned to ana-lyze literatureand explore theundeniable bibli-cal symbolismalongsideScripture. I hadthe blessing ofsmall classroomsizes and person-

al relationships with teachers, staff, andcoaches who truly cared about my successnot only academically, but spiritually andsocially. I was under the influence of godlymen and women who loved their subjectmatter, their Lord, and their students. Iwas equipped with a biblical worldviewand learned to defend my faith with andwithout the Bible, so that when I wasfaced with the subject of evolution, Iknew both scientifically and theologicallywhere I stood.

This kind of foundation proved to beextremely stabilizing as I entered college.At that point, I was confident of my iden-tity in Christ, and was truly ready to take astand at a public institution. Now, I am inmy third year at Texas A&M and amapplying to medical school in the spring.The Lord has been so faithful to revealHimself to me and guide my every step. Iam one of many who would stand up andsay that I am a product of CCS, and I amwhere I am because of the investmentmade by my parents and the faculty andstaff at CCS.

I want to share with you where some ofmy very best friends from high school arenow and what theyÕre accomplishing. Thislist is in no way exhaustive, but maybe itwill give you an idea of the different gift-ings and passions the Lord has given fel-low CCS graduates and how the Lord iscontinuing to shape and mold us into menand women of God.
