The first Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) “Huddle” meeting of the year was held on October 3, and FCA will continue to meet on Wednesdays at 8 a.m. in the Barn. (See LCA family calendar for specific dates, and note that this Wednesday, October 17, at 8 a.m. FCA will meet in the US lunch room.) FCA is geared toward athletics, but it is open to all students from 6th–12th grade.

Another beautiful aspect in this story is how Mrs. Touchton shared with the children that, while someone blessed them in a big way with the tables, they can turn around and bless someone else with a card they make or time they give in helping to make someone’s day brighter or easier. While giving may vary from person to person, we can all show generosity to act on whatever God puts on our hearts to do for someone else who crosses our path. And sometimes the biggest blessing comes in giving to someone who could never repay you!

Rachel Ernst is excited to serve as the Upper School principal at LCA this year. She has a passion for Jesus, for education, for the professional development of teachers, and for establishing relationships with teachers, students, and parents.

This year LCA is privileged to have three alumna serving at LCA as teachers. We asked them a few questions about their time at LCA . . . then and now.

Mrs. Sherry Morris, LCA’s Upper School STEM teacher, directed a couple of fun, interactive projects for the students in her Middle School STEM classes this week.

The juniors and seniors of LCA attended a College and Career Fair on Thursday, September 20, held at Meridian Park.

Rachel Byers, a 2016 graduate of Loganville Christian Academy, is currently attending UGA and had the opportunity to do an internship with Governor Nathan Deal this past summer.

The “specials” teachers enjoyed adding a little extra inspiration and flare to their Pre-K to 2nd grade classes as they explored new things this week in LCA’s Lower School art, media center, and technology classes.

On Thursday, September 13, the senior Grad2Grad students were matched with the kindergarten students in a big reveal. The kindergarteners squealed and smiled as they were greeted by their seniors for the first time with fun signs and thoughtful gifts!

As a hands-on physics project, the students designed contraptions within certain size and mass restrictions to best protect their eggs during an “egg drop” that took place on Friday—from the top of the football stadium. Mr. Welsch said, “This was a fun way to challenge the kids to think and be creative. I think everyone enjoyed the project without thinking about it being physics. I’m trying to remove the stigma that physics often has.”

This year, Loganville Christian Academy is excited about our brand new Lower School chapel experience for PreK–5th grade called PowerHouse. LCA students will attend PowerHouse twice each month from 8:15–9:00 a.m. on Thursday mornings, and they may wear their PowerHouse T-shirts on those days.

In his fourteenth year at LCA, Mr. Mark Davis has stepped into a newly created position as the campus pastor.

The “Book Tasting” provided a unique opportunity to review how to pick out good-fit books, find books of interest, and dig into literature they would normally overlook. Everyone left full of enthusiasm for reading!

LCA is privileged to serve this generation of students—all the way from kindergarten science to seniors in Bio-Med III.

We had the pleasure of meeting Congressman Jody Hice last Wednesday at Loganville Christian Academy. U.S. Congressman Hice proudly serves Georgia’s 10th congressional district where the majority of our students reside.

Alpha Camp framed this year’s focus and forged new friendships. Mrs. Ernst said, “Seeing the LCA ‘veteran’ students embrace and get to know the new students was wonderful. Several new friendships were started, and connections were made that will make the year even better for all our students!”

Dr. Nicole Pourchier said, “As a Middle School, we are on a mission to create a different school environment—the kind of place kids want to be, even when things are difficult in their lives. We kept going back to the phrase: ‘Everything will be okay if I can just get to LCA.’”
