Weekly chapel
Lower School students gather each Tuesday for worship with music, prayer and a message from the Scriptures for their encouragement to follow Christ faithfully.

Class parties and events
Ad Fontes students love a great party. Throughout the year, students celebrate their study of history and literature with games and feasts such as the Greek Olympics (K and 1), Egyptian Feast (1 and 4), Medieval Feast (2 and 5), English Tea Party (2), and “Homer Price Doughnut Day” (3).

Field Day
At the end of the school year, students have a special day with fun competitions, games and great food. This past year, students enjoyed a full scale Carnival complete with face painting and fresh popped popcorn.

Service projects
Students learn to care for one another in class and to reach out to their neighbors in Centreville and around the globe. At Christmas, classes use their party time to bring cheer to the local hospital and to collect gifts for children in need. Each year, we collect shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child. Last year, the students rallied support to provide surgery for a boy named Fidel in Africa. Read more in the Fountain newsletter:
