Next week will be Spiritual Emphasis Week for students in<br />
Middle and High school. Chapel will be held daily. This<br />
year’s theme will be “From the Grave to Grace”. Students<br />
will hear how experiencing failures from self, family and<br />
community can help us to understand and accept God’s grace and in return, show that<br />
same grace to others. Please feel free to join the DCA family for our chapel services<br />
during this week.<br />
In Reading class, second grade students chose a<br />
biography to read and then completed a project<br />
about that person. They wrote a report in class<br />
and created bottle biographies to present to the<br />
class about the person they read about. They<br />
used two-liter bottles, Styrofoam heads, and a<br />
variety of other craft materials to make their<br />
projects.<br />
DCA will be hosting a Kindergarten Preview<br />
Night for parents of current Pre-Kindergarten students from 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. on<br />
Monday, <strong>February</strong> <strong>11</strong>. The students will begin the night with a performance for parents<br />
in the Lecture Hall followed by a pizza dinner. This is an excellent opportunity for<br />
parents to discover what our Kindergarten curriculum has to offer. Teachers and<br />
administrators will also be available for tours and questions.<br />
The second annual lunchtime college fair was<br />
held on Friday, <strong>February</strong> 8. There were over<br />
sixteen local colleges represented. This gave<br />
parents and students the opportunity to meet<br />
with various college representatives in one day.<br />
A Financial Aid representative was also available<br />
to answer questions. This was a wonderful<br />
opportunity for parents and students to learn<br />
about local universities without leaving the DCA<br />
campus. We look forward to a similar event next<br />
year.
