Miss Longtine is ALL IN!
Thank you for all you do for our school. We need your help more than ever before to raise the resources needed to operate our schools. The reason we have a $400,000 need is because we strive to keep tuition costs reasonable and affordable to ALL IN! our community.
As you think about how your family will participate in this year’s ALL IN! campaign, please think about all the great teachers we have across all our campuses. Here is just one example, Morgan Longtine at our English Station Campus.
“Morgan is an exceptional teacher in every way. She was my student teacher six years ago, and I could tell from the first day that this girl was born to be a teacher. Everything came so naturally to her! Morgan has now been my teammate for five years and she is definitely a team player! She offers to help quickly, she carries more than her share of the load and she shares all her wonderful ideas willingly. As a teacher, she is everything a student needs and a parent wants. Morgan is intelligent and compassionate. She is a whiz with technology and makes things relevant to her students. She goes over and above to craft fun, engaging lessons, and she does everything with a sense of excellence. Above all else she has a heart for God and a desire to lead all her students to know and love Him more. Her greatest desire is to infuse biblical truths into her everyday conversations with her students and others, so they will grow closer to God and serve Him well. This year, she was asked to teach the Virtual Academy, had only three weeks of preparation, and has done a beautiful job getting it up and running smoothly since the start. Her technology skills, combined with the understanding of how to deliver quality instruction to her online students, makes her the perfect choice for this new position. If you truly want to have someone who is ALL IN! for Christian Academy, you need to look no further than Miss Morgan Longtine.”

Mrs. Coble is ALL IN!
Thank you for all you do for our school. As you think about how your family will participate in this year’s ALL IN! campaign, please watch the video below about one of our outstanding teachers, Kathy Coble, PE teacher at the Southwest Campus.
“Enough cannot be said about Mrs. Coble and how grateful we are to have her at our Southwest Campus. Not only is she a fantastic PE teacher, she is always willing to jump in and help out where help is needed. Every day she helps out in the cafeteria during her planning/lunch, opening milk cartons, ketchup packets, etc. During an eight-week stretch when our previous manager was out, she served lunch and helped us roll out and set up tables almost every day. She is always seeking out ways to serve others. Mrs. Coble has always been kind, loving and encouraging to all of the students at our campus. It is obvious that she genuinely cares for them, not only in their educational life, but in their everyday and spiritual life as well. She brings so much value to our campus family and is a joy to work with.”

Christian Academy Installs New UV Air Purification System to Help Combat COVID-19
Christian Academy School System has just installed pūrGenix’s® advanced ultraviolet air purification systems in both their English Station and New Albany campuses to help fight the spread of germs and create healthier and safer environments for faculty and students to learn, work and collaborate.
Today, more than ever, people have realized that outdated, ill-equipped buildings impact their health and safety. Traditional building air systems were not designed with people’s health and safety in mind, nor were they designed to prevent the spread of germs and disease.
With the help of Lexington-based pūrGenix’s® state-of-the-art ultraviolet light technology, these new systems will purify air, helping kill dangerous germs that are normally left to circulate, untreated, within the schools.
Christian Academy is the first secondary school in the country to install the pūrGenix® technology. With this equipment, Christian Academy will be designated as a pūrBuilding™ – a building with air systems designed to help prevent the spread of germs.
pūrGenix® is one of the nation’s leaders in UV Air Purifcation technology. With over 10 years of experience and more than 600 installations, pūrGenix® has achieved dramatic results in the most demanding environments. Hospitals using the pūrGenix® technology, such as Harrison Memorial in Cynthiana, KY, have risen to be among the nation’s leading hospitals in infection prevention. Since installing the pūrGenix® technology in 2017, Harrison Memorial has seen amazing results, such as zero bloodstream infections, zero surgical site infections and zero cases of hospital-acquired pneumonia.
The key to the pūrGenix® technology is that it helps prevent dangerous germs from circulating throughout the building via the building’s air Handling Systems. Traditional air filtration systems allow germs to pass through – putting everyone at risk. Air handling systems are cool dark, damp places, making them the perfect breeding ground for dangerous germs. Air systems then spread these germs throughout the building, contaminating newly cleaned surfaces.
The pūrGenix® technology uses Ultraviolet C-band energy, which is a high-frequency energy (similar to what protects us in the ozone) that breaks down the DNA or RNA inside germs, killing germs and preventing them from replicating.
With this installation, Christian Academy will provide a safer and healthier environment for students to learn and collaborate.
According to Executive Director Moe Lundrigan, “We’ve always looked at ways to make our physical environment safer, but we did not anticipate this degree of a biological/environmental need. But God did. We hired Steve French as our facilities director, little realizing how important his background would be.”
Steve French brought almost 40 years of facilities management and 30 of those years were in hospitals, including Jewish and St. Mary’s healthcare. With a degree in Biomedical Engineering (from the UofL Speed School), he was indeed in the “right place at the right time.”
“I’ve been familiar with Purgenix’s success in the health field and they became the perfect fit for our larger campuses,” said French. “Combined with personal conduct of our students and staff (masks, social distancing, hand washing and contact tracing), this purification system adds to our levels of safety and precaution necessary in this challenging time. We’re excited and blessed to be able to offer this to our students and staff.”
“At pūrGenix® our mission is to create healthier, places to work, learn, collaborate, and heal. We are excited to help a forward-thinking school like Christian Academy get their students and faculty back in their building safely. Health, mind and soul are important for everyone and Christian Academy made the health and safety of their students and faculty a priority when they invested in becoming a pūrBuilding™” says Sam Perkins, CEO pūrGenix®.
Mrs. French is ALL IN!
Thank you for all you do for our school. As you have heard many times, the cost of tuition and fees simply does NOT cover the entire cost to educate our students. That is why we have an annual campaign called our ALL IN! campaign. We all agree this year has been like no other in our history. We need your help more than ever before to raise the resources needed to operate our schools. The reason we have a $400,000 need is because we strive to keep tuition costs reasonable and affordable to ALL IN! our community who want a Christian education.
As you think about how your family will participate in this year’s ALL IN! campaign, please think about all the great teachers we have across all our campuses. Here’s an example from our Providence School within our Rock Creek Campus, Mrs. Kinsey French.
“I got to work alongside Kinsey in Providence when I started at CAL in 2017 as a Providence Assistant. I have watched Kinsey work tirelessly (often 16 to 18 hour days) to keep contact with parents/teachers/administration, write and rewrite lesson plans, create original content that was appropriate for each student, mobilize several assistants and do so much more with a level of excellence. But, she is completely joyful, fiercely optimistic and determined, and eager to celebrate success.”

Thank you and God bless you and our school!

“I nominate Matt Wooten for looking out for the musical needs of ALL our students K-12 at the English Station Campus. He designed and implemented a plan so that EVERY music teacher at English Station, K-12, could teach music with social distancing. By moving the rooms for this year, we can all teach our students to be music makers in the best environment. Hats off to Matt!”

Ms. Passafiume is ALL IN!
What a year we have had! Thank you for all you do for our Christian Academy family. No matter which campus you call home – English Station, Indiana, Southwest or Rock Creek – we are all truly a family. As families we need each other. We thank you most of all for your prayers! God is in charge, He is always in charge and He will see us through this pandemic.
As you think about how your family will participate in this year’s ALL IN! campaign, please watch the following message about one of our outstanding teachers, Tracy Passafiume, kindergarten teacher at English Station:
“Tracy goes above and beyond for each family. She forms a partnership with families that continues after Kindergarten. She collaborates well with academic support, Occupational Therapy and Speech professionals to support students. She is willing to do whatever it takes in her classroom to make students feel and be successful. Tracy understands that success in kindergarten is vital to the development of the student and is the first place families really see and understand the mission of Christian Academy. No matter the challenge she faces, she always has a positive can-do attitude. We are blessed by her leadership and Christ-like spirit.”
