Labor Day weekend is a treat!

 
Coming at just the right time, the three-day holiday weekend marks three weeks of classes. This "first ten percent," has been a positive establishment of the new academic year. Thanks to all involved for their encouraging efforts!

 
Campus closed Monday, Sept. 02 for Labor Day

Hurricane storms into view 

   The governor has called for coastal evacuations, in what seems all too familiar from the two hurricanes SC faced last year.  
   As with 2018, we will wait and. see how the weather directly affects our counties before announcing plans.   
   LPA's general plan for inclement weather is to shift on-campus lessons to at-home assignments, to avoid unpopular make-up days. Stay posted. Meanwhile, let us pray for the Bahamas and other areas affected by the hurricane.

News & info highlights   
 
Cool and refreshing
A new water fountain has been installed to serve students and staff. The new unit offers filtered water and easy access to fill the water bottles that are popular at LPA. Sealable water bottles are allowed in the classrooms.  
 
Did you know?  
The colored stripe of exposed wall board to the left of the fountain shows the original paint color of the hallway and lobby -- vibrant "Barney" purple! This slice of history can be seen until painting is completed.   
 
Have a (new) seat
The seats of the gray cushioned classroom chairs are being replaced. The academy ordered the parts to replace the dozens of chairs damaged over the past two years. Students are urged to care for the equipment, so that funds may go to other needs.   
 
Teachers and parents work together

 
From the opening teacher-parent meetings and orientations, to curriculum explanation sessions, classroom teacher and parents are connecting to coordinate campus and home assignments. Such cooperation of academy and family is the "powerful ingredient" of the University Model, and with God invited and invoked at both ends, success is the likely result.
