School Pictures - TOMORROW

Tomorrow is Picture Day! We will take a whole-school group picture, and students will sit for individual photos. Mr. Danny Spears from Spears Studios is the photographer. 

You are under no obligation to purchase prints, but if you want to buy photos, there are a few things to know. Since last year, he has changed a little bit about the way he does ordering. Once photos are uploaded, you’ll get an email encouraging you to visit a password-protected webpage where you can purchase a variety of photo packages. Mr. Spears will send a couple reminder emails, but you will have the ability to opt out of those reminders. 

If you want to purchase photos, but don’t see an email from Mr. Spears, within the next two weeks please let us know, and we’ll get you connected!

On Campus Camp Out

The PTA is hosting an on-campus camp out on Friday, September 16th. We have found that an outdoor event that includes parents makes for a really fun evening. Here are some quick points:

  • All children must be accompanied by an adult

  • Friday 7pm - tent setup

  • 7:30-9pm - games, campfires, smores

  • 9-11pm  - outdoor movie, devotion, and singing

  • Saturday 7am - breakfast

  • 8am - pack up and head home

  • $15 per student who stays overnight

  • $10 for students who are just participating in the Friday night portion

  • RSVP: miller.cheriel@gmail.com or 678-615-0824

Singing Invitation

On Sunday, September 25th, we’re going to sing a song called “My Lighthouse” during worship at Sola Fide. A lot of kids in the Academy really like this song, so we’re inviting them to join the musicians in the front of the church to sing along during worship. Kids are invited to sing during the 8:00 or the 10:30am worship service (or both). Mrs. Kim is planning a cookie fellowship after the 10:30 worship service.
