Eastern Christian School Receives 10th Anniversary September 11 Scholarship Grant
Eastern Christian School has received a substantial anonymous grant to support the award of two September 11th Academic Honor Scholarships. The scholarship grant was given to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon. The scholarships will be awarded to one student enrolled in Eastern Christian High School and to one student enrolled in Eastern Christian Middle School. This is the second year that Eastern Christian School has received a grant to enable the award of these scholarships.
The inspiration for the September 11th Academic Honor Scholarship comes directly from the Biblical account of Joseph's reunification with his brothers found in Genesis 50 which includes Joseph's statement, "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good..." What was devised as an evil plan to bring destruction of lives and human spirit on 9/11, God will take and use to bring restoration. The announcement of the scholarship just before September 11 is a reminder that God restores and turns something that evil intended to be harmful into a true blessing.
Eastern Christian School is grateful for this generous gift which will support our mission of providing an excellent Christian education to the children and young people of Northern New Jersey. The message of transforming an act intended for evil into a blessing is the very essence of the Biblical message of transformation and hope taught to our 750 students on a daily basis.
The September 11th Academic Honor Scholarship is intended to encourage students who demonstrate excellence and innovation in the classroom, leadership, community participation, faith, integrity and character. Recipients will be selected on the basis of these attributes and family financial need.
September marks the first anniversary of the opening of ditto, Eastern Christian's "Upscale Resale" store, and what a first year it has been! In its first year of operation, ditto donated an amazing $75,000 to support the cause of Christian education at EC!
ditto started off with a blast, selling nearly 20,000 items in its first month alone. The momentum continued throughout the year as ditto sold 73,657 pieces of clothing, 1,479 pieces of furniture, and 62,658 household goods, sporting goods, and books for total sales of $369,671.
Throughout the year, ditto was staffed by an amazing group of well over 150 volunteers who gave generously of their time, energy and talents to support Eastern Christian School. With many volunteers working several days per week, the store's ambitious schedule of operations, and even more ambitious fund raising goal, was achieved.
Led by store manager, Eric Hawn, and Advisory Board members Donna Chrinian, Henry Kuiken, Bernie Tolsma, and David Visbeen, ditto has also fulfilled an important community service goal by donating hundreds of serviceable goods to local charities and non-profits.
Eastern Christian School thanks all of the dedicated volunteers, generous donors, and faithful customers who have made ditto the tremendous success story that it is. Above all, we thank our supremely generous Heavenly Father who has continued to provide for Christian education in Northern New Jersey through the business success enjoyed by this new venture!
