We continue to give "Praise" for our Teachers this week with appreciation for this character...lol... Mr. Randy Cochran.
Mr. Cochran is a hoot and a half! He loves to tell corny jokes and the students love to hear him tell them (or at least laugh at them as not to hurt his feelings...bless him).
When you're a student of Mr. Cochran's, you know that he truly cares about you and wants not only what's best for you academically, but spiritually as well.
We love and appreciate you Mr. Cochran!!

"My name is Randy Cochran and I have been a Georgia boy all my life. I am married to Cathy and we have 2 children, Daniel and Crystal, and 2 grandchildren, sweet Judith who is with Jesus in heaven and our handsome Elijah. We have been married for 36 years this October. I attended Milford Elementary school for 1st thru 6th grade and Marietta Christian School for 7th thru 12th grade. I’ve always been in church and have been involved in Christian schools for about 30 years counting my school days in Marietta. I attended Baptist University of America and graduated in 1981. I have been teaching approximately 21 school years. I love what I do and I have fun doing it! The timing of the Lord was perfect and miraculous in my coming to Praise Academy. I have taught at 4 Christian schools in my journey; Marietta Christian Schools, Marietta GA; Grace Baptist Christian School in Hiram; Colonial Hills Christian School in Lithia Springs; and now I’m happy at Praise Academy. I intend to be here until death, the Lord returns, or I get booted out! "

We are working hard to keep kids reading and raise critical funds for our school with our fall Scholastic Book Fair. We are so excited to be able to offer students a sense of normalcy and joy after they’ve missed so much this year.
Our Fair will connect your kids to notable books and inspiring characters — helping them become lifelong readers. And all purchases will directly support our school!
Important information for our Fair, held Friday, April 30 - Friday, May 7:
Safety First: The safety and well-being of your child is our priority. We’re taking extra precautions to host a safe, socially distanced Fair at our school, focusing on preventive measures. Learn more at bookfairs.scholastic.com/bookfairs/articles/safety
