Thanksgiving is just about here!

  • Don't forget, Thanksgiving week 11/22 thru 11/26, there is no school. 

  • School pictures will be in before Christmas break.  If you haven't ordered school pictures but would like to get them, please call Gary or Lynne even if it is a financial issue.  If finances have prevented you from ordering, we will work out a payment plan specifically for you.  Pictures and yearbooks can be such great keepsakes.  It is the goal of our school to provide help whereever we can for our families.
 
  • We are hoping that our "School Spirit" T-Shirts will be in before Christmas break as well.  Keep watch for news regarding the shirts. 

  • Finally, Lynne and I want to thank all the staff and parents that have helped us try to accomplish what God has called us to do here at CHA.  God's hand has been on this school in every thing we have tried to do.  We see it and even despite our mistakes, He continues to bless us and this school.  We love what we do!  May your Thanksgiving holiday be full of thanks to God and may the power of Jesus deliver you from all the attacks of the enemy.  Amen.

Operation Christmas Child

  • Christian Home Academy has a strong committment to missions. We teach and encourage our students and staff to support missions around the world and at home.  In the past and currently we support Voice of the Martyrs, Guatemala Outreach, and many local church missions.  Currently we are involved with Operation Christmas Child, a project of Samaritan's Purse.  We are supplying Christmas shoe boxes filled with gifts for orphans and children in need.  For most of these children, these are the only gifts they will see at Christmas.  We ask each parent to supply one shoe box with small toys and other gifts for either a boy or a girl.  Our goal is to provide 100 gift boxes.  Please prayerfully consider sending one or more of these boxes to school  by November 15th in order to bless these children and at the same time helping us to teach your students the value of helping those in need.  Reach out with the love of Jesus. You and your child will be blessed by this!
 
  • Remember there is no school on Veterans' Day, November 11 and there is no school from November 22 thru November 26 for Thanksgiving break. 
 
  • The teachers and staff of Christian Home Academy wish you and your families a blessed Thanksgiving celebration, and a reminder that we have much to be grateful to God for.  Most of the world lives on less than two dollars a day and the primary goal of every day is to get enough food to survive.  How blessed are we, that our biggest concerns are more oriented towards comfort rather than survival.  The Lord has blessed us to live where we live and to have the luxuries that we have.  To God be the Glory, Amen.

November is here, the year is just flying by!

Thanksgiving is approaching quickly and I would like to remind everyone that Thanksgiving should be everyday.  We need to be grateful for all that God has done, is doing and will do in the future for His children.  Lynne and I are so blessed to be able to work for the kingdom here at CHA.  A few points to remember :
  • Friday, November 5, 2010 is a student holiday.  All teachers and staff will be in training at the ACE convention in Orlando.  This is great training, fellowship and worship that will make all the staff at CHA better prepared to minister to  your students.

  • We would like to welcome a new member of our staff, Mr. Robert Dyer.  Robert is a certified teacher and will be in the fourth and fifth grade class.  Robert has been a teacher for 10 years in private schools and will be a strong spiritual leader for the group.

  • A reminder that Veterans' day, November 11th is a student holiday and November 22nd thru 26 there is no school for the Thanksgiving holiday.

  • Our fall festival was a big success and all of our students had a blast.  A special thanks to all those who contributed to the day. 

  • Last but not least, our Novermber field trip is to the Channel 4 newsroom.  It will be broke up into two groups.  One group will go on November 10th and another will go on November 17th.  Remember parents will not have to sign permission forms for each field trip as a form covering all field trips was signed during registration. 

  • God bless you all and as always "To God Be the Glory"
