MV experienced a surprise assembly where The Real Encounters from Chillicothe, Missouri Performed BMX Tricks and discussed the reality of depression in Changnon Gym on October 9. The assembly was held from 2:00 to 2:40 pm

Real Encounters Outreach is a ministry in which they do a stunt show and share about their faith.

Mr. Michael Koehnke’s Assistant Principal, Said. “ The assembly showed that everyone struggles at some point in their lives with one thing or the other.” 

Silas Stachrya, ‘26, added, “ The assembly made me realize that my words can affect others.”

During the assembly at MV, the group staged many tricks, including jumping over several employees at MV.

Mr. Chad LeCrone,Mv superintendent stated, “ When he was jumping me with the motorcycle, I thought,’ He is a professional, and he has done this many times.”’ so relax and enjoy!’

Stachrya said, “ My favorite part of the assembly was when they jumped over Mr. Kohenke.”

Real Encounters also had a second evening event where they performed more complex tricks and even some magic tricks. 

“The night show was a lot more faith-biased than the assembly and it included more bikes and motorcycle stunts,” stated Mr LeCrone.

The term “surprise assembly” comes from the fact that the assembly was announced just days before taking place.

Mr LeCrone said, “Planning for the show started during the summer and was a multi-step process.”

Mr. Lacrone added how he was pleasantly surprised by the very large turnout to the evening event.
