The Bob Ingelse Friend of Christian Education Award
The SCS Board of Trustees began a new annual tradition at this year’s Association Meeting: awarding the Bob Ingelse Friend of Christian Education Award. This brand new award reads,
“Our community’s highest honor, The Bob Ingelse Friend of Christian Education Award is annually given to individuals who are representations of our school’s Core Values:
- Pursues Academic Excellence
- Develops the Christian Mind
- Cultivates Spiritual Growth
- Encourages Biblical Self-Image
- Builds Strong Social Bonds
- Involves the Supporting Community
- Serves the Greater Community”
The inaugural award was, of course, given to its namesake, Mr. Bob Ingelse. SCS Board President T.J. Hendrikse presented the award. Mr. Ingelse has devoted countless volunteer hours and his unique facility management expertise over decades of time. It’s not at all uncommon for people within our community to assume that Bob is an SCS employee because he’s such a constant presence on campus. He is the living embodiment of our core value “Serving the Greater Community.”
Thank you, Mr. Ingelse, for your efforts, energies, commitment and character that you have modeled for our students, faculty, staff, and families over many years!
