August-September 2025 | Time Capsule Project

As we begin the 2025-2026 school year, students will have an opportunity to celebrate the start of Advent’s 75th academic year by creating a time capsule. This capsule will capture the spirit of Advent through letters, small mementos, and words of wisdom. Preserving the memories and hopes of today, our time capsule will serve to remind future Advent students of the legacy they’re a part of, inspiring them to carry it forward.

Alumni and their families are invited to a reception after the Sunday service!
