Dear Friends,
Please read below to "meet" our new Second Grade Teacher, Mrs. Gena Weaver. We are excited to introduce her to all of you and are looking forward to working with our new teachers this year.
Our Super Summer Referral Incentive Program is going strong! Four families are in the process of qualifying and it's not too late to join them! See the details below about how much they, and the families they are referring, will earn!
Our Orientation Day is set for September 1 for students in Grades K-8. See below for details. Students in Preschool will meet their teachers on their first day of school on September 5. The teachers and staff are all looking forward to getting to know all of you.
Please continue to pray for and actively seek more students. With such a strong team of teachers who all love God, kids, and academics, we need to fill the school! This is the time that many families are making their decisions for this school year. We met some families last week on tours and interviews, but there is room for more! We know that someone out there is praying for a Christian school. You could point them to the answer to their prayer.
Enjoy the final weeks of summer with your precious families.
Many blessings,
Susan Hayward, Principal

Dear HCA Family,
It is with great pleasure that I introduce myself Gena Weaver, as the the new 2nd grade teacher
for Holden Christian Academy. It is a wonderful feeling when you confidently know that the
Lord has ordered yours steps to a certain place. I am confident that God in his amazing
sovereignty led me to your school. His all sufficient providence guided me to be a part of what
he is doing at HCA. I have humbly and graciously accepted the position to teach the 2nd grade
students.
I come to you with great excitement and enthusiasm for this new school year. As a former
teacher from a christian school, I’ve taught 2nd grade for several years. I love how eager 2nd
graders are to expand upon what they’ve previously learned and develop more independence.
Journaling begins to develop in 2nd grade and I always enjoy the creativity in the development
of each student’s own personal work.
As we delve into this year’s theme of cultures I look forward to discovering the richness of
different cultures around the world. I anticipate the questions that will arise as we study certain
people groups and discuss their way of life. How enlightening it will be as we learn how the
gospel impacts culture! The gospel changed my life and I’m elated to be teaching in a school that
recognizes the power of it.
In Him,
Gena Weaver

Super Summer Referral Incentive Program
|

|
The School Committee has approved an exciting new "Super Summer Referral Incentive Program" for HCA. For EACH new student, referred by a current HCA family, who applies and is accepted for admission and successfully signs-up for FACTS, BOTH families (the referring family and the new family) will receive a check for $100.00 per student as well as a tuition rebate check of $400.00 per student at the end of the year! (half for PreK referrals)
- Both the incoming family and the referring family will receive this referral incentive for each new student enrolled (half for PreK referrals) (e.g. if an HCA family referred a new family with two children, both the HCA family AND the incoming family would receive the incentive for BOTH children
- A $100 per student bonus check will be awarded to both the incoming family and referring family at Parent's Night on September 21st (the end of the incentive program) PreK referrals will receive $50 per student.
- A $400 per student “rebate” check will be given to both families for each new student in June (upon successful completion of tuition payments, etc.) PreK referrals receive a $200 rebate check.
- For example if a current HCA family (family A) Refers 2 new families to HCA (family B and family C) and family B enrolls 2 students and family C enrolls 1 PreK student: at the parents' meeting in September, family A will receive a check for $250.00, family B $200.00, and family C $50.00. In June, family A will receive a rebate check for $1,000.00, family B $800.00, and family C $200.00.
Want to know how to participate? TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW ABOUT HCA! Send anyone who is interested to our website and encourage them to complete the Inquiry Form. On that form, there is a place where they can write your name: "referred by a current family". As they successfully complete the admissions and enrollment process you will be notified. There is no limit to the number of students you can refer!
