Change the USA for Christ Week, March 28 – April 1
Change the USA for Christ Week will take place March 28 – April 1. Students will be able to change their outward appearance for the week as a reminder that we each need to change on the inside. In the gospel of Jesus Christ, we are given the promise that anyone who comes to Christ in faith will have an internal change take place – i.e. the changing from a heart of stone to a heart of flesh (cf. Ezekiel 36:26-27).
Mellow Monday – Pajamas or Sweat Pants
Tacky Tuesday – Dress as a Tacky Tourist of the USA
Western Wednesday – Western Themed Attire
Throwback Thursday – Dress Like Another Decade
Fanatic Friday – Favorite Sports Team Attire
Each day, students will pay one dollar to dress out (students may pay five dollars on Monday to cover the week). All money collected will go to support the Jackson family who serves as missionaries in Asia.
Click here for a video from Mrs. Carson regarding each day and then please note the following.
Important Reminders:
- This is a week to have fun but also a reminder to be faithful in supporting the Jackson Family as they share the Gospel overseas.
- Footwear for each day needs to be closed-toe, closed-heel shoes for safety. No flip flops, sandals or slippers.
- Any attire worn needs to be appropriate fit and length as well as follow the expectations for modesty outlined in our Family Handbooks in the Dress Code Section.
- The administration reserves the right to contact parents if needed to bring a change of clothes.
Happy World Down Syndrome Day!

Christian Academy School System Celebrates Women’s History Month
Christian Academy School System is grateful to join our nation in honoring Women’s History Month during the month of March. This month is designed to observe and celebrate the importance of women in American History and their many contributions.
In 1981, Women’s History Month began as a national celebration as Congress passed a Public Law (Pub. L. 97-28) requesting the President to proclaim the week beginning March 7, 1982 as “Women’s History Week.” In 1987, the celebration was extended to become Women’s History Month. Presidents have issued proclamations since 1995 designating March as “Women’s History Month.”
In 2020, we celebrated 100 years since women in the United States were granted the right to vote. Remarkable pioneers like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony were trendsetters in the struggle for women’s right to vote. Sojourner Truth, Jeanette Rankin and Elizabeth Blackwell were instrumental in fighting for the awareness of women and laid the foundation for women to supersede traditional gender roles.
Join with us this month as we continue to celebrate the accomplishments of women in our history and the great strides they continue to make.
