| A Word From Our Head of School
|
|
|
Dear LCA Families,
As we approach the end of another year, I find myself reflecting on the incredible journey we have embarked on together. It is with a heart full of gratitude and appreciation that I extend my warmest thanks to each member of our Life Christian Academy family.
This year has been a testament to the strength of our community and the power of collaboration. As the Interim Head of School, I am humbled by the dedication and support that each of you has demonstrated in fostering a nurturing and Christ-centered learning environment. Our partnership is the foundation upon which we build a community that not only educates but loves God, loves others, speaks life, and prays powerful prayers.
Together, we have faced challenges and celebrated triumphs, always guided by the principles of love. Your commitment to our mission has been evident in the unwavering support at school events and the kindness shared within our halls.
In the spirit of reflection, I am proud to acknowledge the academic and personal growth that our students have experienced. It is through your encouragement, prayers, and active involvement that our students have flourished, not only academically but also in their spiritual and personal development.
As we look towards the future, I am confident that our partnership will continue to thrive and evolve. Together, we will navigate new challenges, celebrate new milestones, and further enrich the lives of our students. The strength of our community lies in the bonds we forge, and I am grateful for the unity and purpose that defines Life Christian Academy.
May this season of celebration bring you moments of peace and joy. I wish each of you a restful and blessed time surrounded by the love of family and friends. If you do not have a church to love, I want to encourage you to join us at Life Center for one of our Christmas Eve gatherings.
Joyfully,
Michelle Buntain Cox
Interim Head of School
