With Christmas just around the corner, it is the perfect time to pull out those ugly Christmas sweaters. On Monday we will have an ugly Christmas sweater day. To participate in this fundraiser we are asking $2.00 per student or $5.00 per family. Anyone not participating should be in regular school uniform. This is a great opportunity to bring some laughter and Christmas spirit into an average Monday here on campus. We hope to see you guys and your best ugly sweaters on Monday!
Thanks,

"I am thankful for Praise Academy because God knew before I did that it would become my "home" after the school where I served for 10 years had to close its doors.
This is a picture of one of my former youth ministry students who ran cross country for Praise and I at the time was his Youth Minister but also coached at Colonial Hills Christian School (a sister school serving the same area). Little did I know that my relationship with that student and his family would afford me the opportunity to serve just 3 years later at Praise Academy.
As Christian educators and Christian institutions, our ministry and goal should be the same; to see students develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and then grow them as His disciples so that they, in turn, can go out and make disciples.
I am so blessed to have that opportunity daily at Praise Academy."
