ALL IN Kickoff – Mr. Phillippe is ALL IN!

Sep 14, 2022

We are excited, once again, to kickoff our ALL IN Annual Fund campaign for the 2022-2023 school year. Tuition and fees simply do not cover the entire cost to educate our students. Our Annual Fund campaign raises funds to close our budget gap. Join us in making a gift to Christian Academy School System.

We are so proud of our incredible teachers and for the next few weeks we will feature each of our Outstanding ALL IN teacher winners from across the system.

Here is one example:

Troy Phillippe
Troy has a heart for God and a passion for the school. He builds tremendous relationships with students in and out of class. He leads student Bible studies and loves to share about God with the students he teaches each day. Troy wants to see the school grow and flourish, and he eagerly engages in opportunities to have a voice in its direction. This can be seen in his recent participation in developing the HEART framework that high school is using to help students be restored to good standing before heart issues become major problems. He also serves as a class sponsor and the NHS faculty advisor. In his eight years at Christian Academy, he has certainly contributed to its growth and development.

Synopsis of the play, “Murder on the Orient Express”

Famous detective Hercule Poirot is called back from Istanbul to London on urgent business. He intends to book a first-class compartment on the Orient Express, run by his former friend and colleague, Monsieur Bouc. The train is surprisingly full, but Bouc manages to secure Poirot a spot in the first-class cabin. While aboard the Orient Express, Poirot meets a host of peculiar characters: an aging Russian princess, her Swedish companion, a Hungarian countess, a Minnesota housewife, a Scottish colonel, an English governess, a French conductor, a disagreeable American businessman, and his anxious secretary. While aboard the train, the angry businessman, Samuel Ratchett, corners Poirot and demands Poirot to investigate a series of ominous letters that have been sent to Ratchett, threatening his life.

As a snowdrift halts the Orient Express in its tracks, Ratchett is found stabbed multiple times in his locked train compartment. Poirot is tasked by Monsieur Bouc to solve the murder, as the killer could still be in their midst. As Poirot investigates, conflicting clues and convoluted alibis lead him to dead ends. Over the course of 48 hours, will Poirot be able to solve the case of the Murder on the Orient Express?
