The Greenville Christian Lady Saints Softball team travelled Monday to North Sunflower Academy where they won both the A game and the B game.

Pitching for the Lady Saints in the A game, Charlie McGaugh led the Lady Saints to a 4-1 victory, improving their record to 1-1 in district play, and 3-2 overall. The B team was led by Holley Whitehead, who pitched a 2-1 victory.

The next game is today (Tuesday, August 5) against Central Holmes Christian School on the campus of Greenville Christian School at the Ted Thornton Softball Field.

Rev. Jimmy McClendon, pastor of First Baptist Church Lake Washington, and Greenville Christian School board member, held an informational meeting with family members and students Tuesday night (July 8) in the Phil Wilkinson gymnasium on the campus of GCS. During the meeting, he addressed the various issues facing GCS this summer, including the financial situation, the hiring of teachers to fill open faculty positions.

During the meeting, Brother Jimmy announced the hiring of a former GCS headmaster, Keith Aycock as the new headmaster at Greenville Christian. Mr. Aycock will return to GCS on Monday, July 15.

Enrollment at the school is down slightly, but mainly in the elementary and middle school grades, and Mr. McClendon made an appeal to those who had held off registering their students until the very end to make the effort to enroll their students as quickly as possible. In addition, the school board is asking Greenville Christian supporters to prayerfully consider further financial support of the school in this time of financial turmoil in the Delta.

If you would like to donate cash or gifts in kind to the school, please contact a GCS Board Member, or GCS Financial Secretary Donna Manor.
