School T-Shirt Day

We ask that all of our students wear their beige “SOAR” school theme t-shirts on Wednesday, September 24. We would like to take an all-school photo on that day as well.


Chapel Service

School families are invited to join us for our monthly AFTERNOON school chapel service this week Wednesday, September 24 at 2:30 p.m. Parents, family and friends are always welcome! This year’s chapel offering is supporting our church’s new ministry work in the country of Australia. Please pray for this ministry and the people it serves.

This week, Principal Matt Foley from Hope Christian Academy will present our chapel devotion. Mr. Foley will also be taking an opportunity to talk to the grade 6-8 students about Hope Christian Academy prior to chapel. Parents, if you are interested in Hope Christian Academy as a possible high school program for your child, please check out https://hopehawks.org/ , or email Principal Foley at mail@hopehawks.org . He would love to talk with you about the school and answer any questions you may have.
