Announcements for Thursday, May 21, 2026

Mr. Merritt recently showed the movie I Can Only Imagine in his religion classes. This movie continues the true story of the Christian band Mercy Me and how Jesus continues to intervene in the life of the band through tragedies and triumphs. 

 

Based on positive reviews from students, he will host a showing of the sequel I Can Only Imagine 2 next Wednesday, May 27th starting at 3:15 p.m. in Room 312.  Families should pick up their students at 5:00 p.m. once the movie has concluded; however, they are invited to attend the showing as well.  Please email Mr. Merritt by 3:00 p.m. next Tuesday, May 26th to RSVP to attend.   

Because our students come from all over Maryland, we understand that getting to school can sometimes be a challenge. Therefore, Concordia Preparatory School is pleased to offer several options for the 2026-2027 school year:

Eight grade students are able to purchase a Class of 2030 shirt to celebrate their class and to wear next Thursday on Middle School Picnic and Water Day for a group photo on their last full day of school together. Shirts are $15 each. Payment can be made online at this link. Students can bring in cash or check as well. Please contact Mrs. Calheira with any questions. 

A Concordia Prep Middle School tradition, the annual Middle School Picnic and Water Day is scheduled for next Thursday, May 28th. Middle School students will have permission to bring in their favorite “Super Soakers” for a time of water fun. 

 

This day is also a Relaxed Dress Day for Middle School students only. Students should refer to relaxed dress guidelines in the handbook. 8th Graders are encouraged to wear their Class of 2030 shirts as there will be a group photo of all 8th graders on their last day of school. Additional information will be distributed this week to 8th grade families about purchasing shirts for their students.

Please adhere to the following guidelines for water activities:

Additional information about this event will be distributed soon. Please contact Mr. Miller with any questions in the meantime.

The Concordia Prep Eighth Grade Affirmation Service will be held next Friday, May 29th at 6:00 p.m. on campus in Saints Gym. During this service, we will have the opportunity to affirm our 8th Grade students as they prepare to leave the halls of the Concordia Prep Middle School and take the next step in their lives – moving on to the Concordia Prep Upper School or attending high school elsewhere. This service honors the role that God and family have played in the physical, intellectual, emotional, social, and spiritual growth of each student. It gives all of us an opportunity to acknowledge God’s hand in all aspects of our lives, but especially in the lives of our soon-to-be high school students.

 

All 8th Grade students should attend the Affirmation Service. It is expected that the students come to this service in clean, neat, and modest attire. Young ladies should wear a skirt and blouse or a dress. Young men should be in dress slacks, an Oxford-style shirt, and tie and should not wear jeans, polo shirts, or sneakers. Students should plan to arrive by 5:30 p.m. and report to the Cafeteria.

 

There should be ample room for all guests attending this service, so there will not be a limit to the number of invited guests. A light reception will follow the service. We hope that you will plan to stay for a few moments to congratulate each of our 8th Grade students on a job well done while attending Concordia Prep Middle School.

Students entering 9th grade next school year may register for an online Health summer course. The course will run from Monday, June 29th through Friday, August 7th. This course option will free up a student's schedule to take other classes during the new school year. It is not required to take this over the summer. The fee for the course is $395. To register, students' families should contact Ms. Bainbridge no later than Friday, June 12th.
