ReFresh @ SCA

September 18, 2017High School, Middle SchoolEagles of SCA Leave a comment

This morning, we began ReFresh @ SCA. This week is a special time of renewal each fall for our secondary students. Our guest speaker is church planter, Pastor Ryan Rice, from Connect Church in Algiers, LA (New Orleans). Pastor Ryan will be sharing in 1 John. His emphasis is assurance of salvation for the believer – there is nothing greater than knowing you are a child of God. But for the unsaved, do you want to be a part of God’s family? If so, you need to make a decision of commitment. Benefits and rewards are awaiting you when you make the decision to follow Christ wholeheartedly. Please pray for Pastor Ryan and his time with our students this week.

Junior Class Ring Ceremony

September 15, 2017High SchoolEagles of SCA Leave a comment

Last Thursday, the juniors participated in our annual Ring Ceremony. The class of 2019, 37 strong, were given their new class rings by our Jostens rep Mr. Scott Jernigan which they ordered last spring. This annual tradition highlights the importance of identifying oneself with SCA, its mission and ideals, as well as what it means to be an Eagle. There was a great crowd of parents and relatives in attendance. And by the pictures, you can see the students looked great while they showed off their new class rings. Congratulations juniors!

The 7^th and 8^th Grade Retreat took place on Tuesday, August 29, at Legacy Park. The classes had a chance to grow closer together through team-building exercises led by Campus Pastor Jeremy Davidson. After enjoying a Chick-fil-A lunch at the pavilion, the 8^th graders enjoyed swimming at Jonathan Thomas’ house; the 7^th graders at Ally Flynt’s house. Thanks to Coach Davidson, the class sponsors, and the Thomases and Flynts for helping make the day special!

Class Retreats

August 24, 2017High School, Middle SchoolEagles of SCA Leave a comment

Class retreats are a unique opportunity we have developed at SCA to try and build relational bridges throughout our school. We take a day away from the classroom at the beginning of the school year and allow the students to compete in a variety of team building games, activities and challenges. All of these challenges are designed to force students out of their comfort zones as they creatively compete with other groups of students all across their grade level and beyond. It is our prayer that these retreats would grow Christ-honoring relationships, build unity throughout our school, and generate passion and excitement for being an SCA Eagle this school year!

SCA celebrated the Great American Eclipse in a special way on Monday, August 21. Elementary classes enjoyed eclipse-themed classroom activities, special treats, and viewed the eclipse on the NASA website. Likewise, secondary students were able to view the eclipse online as well. The 8^th Grade Earth Science classes wrapped up an exciting mini unit on the eclipse. Students participated in a variety of activities related to this special event including an in-depth PowerPoint presentation. The 8^th graders were thrilled to have the opportunity to observe the partial eclipse outside with approved solar eclipse glasses, and to celebrate God’s creation!

Color Run & Fun Run

April 11, 2016All SchoolBoosterthon, Color Run, Fun Run, fundraiser, Sherwood Christian AcademyEagles of SCA Leave a comment

by Cameron Higdon, SCA student

This year’s SCA fundraiser was a Fun Run for the elementary school and a Color Run for the middle and high school, both hosted by Boosterthon.

The Fun Run was a great time for both the students and the teachers of the elementary campus. The teachers of each class set goals and devised rewards to motivate their students to raise more donations for the run. These motivational incentives were rewards like: choosing where you sit in class, five minutes of extra recess, and a movie day. The elementary students then ran with all their friends from other classes and grades. The atmosphere was upbeat with music and an announcer giving commands. The announcer would give commands such Slow-Mo run or dancing for a lap instead of running. The students enjoyed being able to go outside and just have fun. Most, if not all, of the students ran more than the minimum 30 laps. It was a new and fun way for the elementary students to finish up the school day.

The Color Run was the fundraiser for the middle school and high school students. The students were asked to bring $50 to be allowed to run. They could also participate in the run if their grade goal was met and the whole grade could run. The Color Run was about a mile through the cross-country course. Throughout this mile the teachers set up at stations with colored chalk. The students then took off down the course only to be met by clouds of color. When they finished the race everyone’s white shirts were covered in an assortment of colors. As Cameron Rambo said, “There was purple chalk over everything and everyone.” The Color Run was a new, exciting and fun way to support our school.

Thank You for Your Service!

On November 11th, Sherwood Christian Academy honored veterans with a special service at Sherwood Baptist Church. To begin the program, Headmaster Dr. Brian Dougherty welcomed all in attendance. The rest of the program was filled with moving speeches from students, a memorable flag folding, singing by the elementary students and One Voice group, as well as an entertaining rendition of USO.

SCA would like to thank all service men and women and those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our country. After this year’s program, we realize just how high a price freedom truly costs. We can’t express how thankful we are for you, Veterans! Thank you for your service!

We Are One.
