The Schmitt and Washington/Bridgeman Families are ALL IN!

The Schmitt and Washington/Bridgeman Families are ALL IN!

Again, at Christian Academy, we pride ourselves on the strength of our community, where families and educators work together to provide the best for our students. This week, we’re excited to introduce you to two more families that truly embody what it means to be ALL IN!

Both families, like those before, have fully invested their time, energy and enthusiasm into helping make Christian Academy a thriving community for all. In their heartfelt videos, they explain why their schools mean so much to them and how being a part of the Christian Academy School System has enriched both their family’s journey and their children’s educational experience.

We invite you to meet the Schmitt family from CAI –

 

as well as the Washington/Bridgeman family from CAL – 

 

The dedication of these families provides another example of how families like yours also have the potential to make a lasting impact on our school. We hope their stories encourage you to get involved in any way you can, whether by volunteering, attending school events or supporting our initiatives like the ALL IN Annual Fund Campaign.

Every effort, big or small, helps make Christian Academy the exceptional learning environment that it is.

Join the movement and show that you’re ALL IN!

Thank you for being part of this amazing community. Together, we can continue to make Christian Academy a place where students and families thrive.

Election Season Devotional #4

Christian Academy Statement: As we enter into another election season, we want to remind our school community that the Christian Academy School System is partisan only to the Bible and our shared Biblical and Foundational Statements. We support each person’s right to vote as led by God’s Word and the Holy Spirit. In keeping with our school, parent and employee partnership commitment, we have agreed to treat our neighbors with respect and honor, as fellow image bearers of God, including engaging in responsible discourse. Christian Academy is firmly dedicated to promoting unity rather than divisiveness in all aspects, including politics.

With this in mind, I want to introduce the final of four devotional thoughts on how we, as Christians, can positively impact our community. As a big college athletic fan, my emotions can swing dramatically based on the performance of 18 to 22-year-olds during a game. When “we” lose, I have to remind myself to stay grounded because I often start complaining about every possible reason for the loss: play calling, roster make-up, officials, the uniforms, crowd noise on 3rd down – you name it! I can even find myself already complaining about the future based on just one result.

Mr. Deon Parker, Director of Biblical Unity, (dparker@caschools.us) shares his thoughts and reflections as we approach the final stretch of this election season. How should we respond when we catch ourselves complaining about choices or people? The Bible always provides the answer.

Christian Academy’s Hurricane Relief Drive for North Carolina, October 17-30

The devastation caused by Hurricane Helene and Milton has profoundly affected many, leaving overwhelming needs in their wake. We’re truly grateful for your inquiries about how our community of believers can come together to support one another during this difficult time.

In fact, please know how much we appreciate your patience as we’ve worked to develop a thoughtful plan to respond to this crisis. It is our belief that our collective efforts to serve and love those in need will bring glory to the Lord when we stand united as one. With this in mind, both our Indiana and English Station Campuses are going to work together and launch a Hurricane Relief Drive for North Carolina starting today.

Watch this brief, Important Announcement video –

 

The need is urgent and there are specific items that can make a difference right away. You can find a list of these items here. The relief drive will run from October 17-30, and we’ve set up designated drop-off locations on each campus to ensure a smooth process for donations. (The drop off locations are also listed on the flyer linked above.)

As we come together in love and support for those specifically impacted in North Carolina, let us also keep all those impacted in our prayers. While the loss of material possessions is significant, the loss of loved ones weighs even heavier. May our prayers and contributions serve to bring hope and the message of the Gospel to many during this difficult time.

Thank you for your generosity and kindness.

Ms. McCarty and Mr. Krebs Are ALL IN!

We continue to be incredibly proud of all of our exceptional teachers and are excited to showcase the final of those chosen by their peers as this year’s ALL IN Outstanding Teacher award winners!

They are among the dedicated educators from across the entire Christian Academy School System who have gone above and beyond in their commitment to excellence and in making a positive impact on our students’ lives.

We invite you to join us in celebrating their achievements by making a special gift to support Christian Academy School System, ensuring that our Christ-centered education continues to thrive.  

This week, we recognize –

Janna McCarty
Janna is an amazing choir director and has LONG influenced years of students and the program itself. She is always an incredible resource, has the longest standing tenure here and is outstanding!

as well as – 

Stephen Krebs
Mr. Krebs goes above and beyond for his students. He is routinely one of the first teachers in the building and one of the last to leave in the evening. His work with the high school yearbook is all consuming and regularly goes unnoticed. Whether it is sponsoring a club for yard games in the afternoon or simply keeping his door open for students, Mr. Krebs is absolutely ALL IN!

 

Congratulations to both Ms. McCarty and Mr. Krebs!

To support these and all of our exceptional teachers, simply use this link to give online.

Thank you and God bless you and our school! If you have questions about making your gift, feel free to reach out to me.

Election Season Devotional #3

Christian Academy Statement: As we enter into another election season, we want to remind our school community that the Christian Academy School System is partisan only to the Bible and our shared Biblical and Foundational Statements. We support each person’s right to vote as led by God’s Word and the Holy Spirit. In keeping with our school, parent and employee partnership commitment, we have agreed to treat our neighbors with respect and honor, as fellow image bearers of God, including engaging in responsible discourse. Christian Academy is firmly dedicated to promoting unity rather than divisiveness in all aspects, including politics.

With this statement in mind, I want to introduce the third of four devotional thoughts on how we, as Christians, can positively affect our community. I have found that during times of disagreement I struggle with when to be the voice of truth versus living at peace. One thing that helps me is to remind myself of the person I am speaking to and consider their background, experiences and, maybe most importantly, their faith walk.

Dr. Becky Wiley, Director of Spiritual Formation, (bwiley@caschools.us) shares her thoughts and reflections on how we can strive to live at peace when we are bombarded with divisive messages with three weeks left before the election. She also asks, “What will God’s Kingdom look like the day after the election?”
