HCA Celebrates Veteran's Day

November 8th at 1:00 pm HCA will be hosting a Veteran's Celebration in honor of all of those who have served our country. We would like to invite parents, grandparents and veteran friends to this event. The right side of the sanctuary will be reserved for seating family members. All students will be sitting with their classroom friends and teacher. If you have a Veteran who would like to join our panel please email kheenan@holdenchristianacademy.org .

Enrichment Program Update

Term 1 ends in three weeks. Parents, please be on the lookout for new elective offerings to be sent by Corey Lee soon. We still need volunteers to assist and run electives for our children. Email clee@holdenchristianacademy.org if you can help.

HCA Open House - Nov 7th

Please spread the word about HCA's open house to be held Thursday, Nov 7th at 6:30pm. We will have a fun "minute-to-win-it" game and other engaging activities. While our preschool is full to capacity for this year, our other classrooms (K through 8) are still open for enrollment this year. But further, this is the time of year where parents are starting to consider what they will do for educating their children next year. If you are blessed by our school ... please let others know! It could change that child's life (like it did for mine!).

Thank you! ~ Jenn Jonay
