With heavy hearts, we share the passing of Alma Van Ostrand. Alma deeply loved Christian Center School and held her students very dear to her heart. She has been a foundational part of CCS for decades, leaving an immeasurable mark on our community.

In addition to her vital role on the school board, Alma taught Spanish and Math at CCS, shaping the lives of hundreds of students with her passion, dedication, and joyful spirit. She poured countless hours into our school, serving faithfully in the classroom, creating yearbooks, coordinating and decorating for many school auctions and events, and leading students on unforgettable trips to Washington, D.C., and to numerous Spanish-speaking countries. Her influence reaches far beyond academics; throughout every season, Alma modeled unwavering faith, strength, and love.

We invite you to share a memory, prayer, or message of comfort.
