We want Y.O.U. on the Academic Team!
Our Middle School Academic Team is seeking students that would like to compete and practice their academic skills in many subject areas. This club is great for students that enjoy competition and a challenge! Mrs. Cox and Mrs. Preston help with Math Counts, Quick Recall, and even the Governor’s Cup. Come on Wednesdays from 3:15-4:15 in order to practice skills that will prepare any student for the Duke Tip Talent Search and other academic achievement competitions! Mrs. Preston and Mrs. Cox make it fun and exciting to learn and grow with other students that want to push themselves a little further! We’d love to see you there!
The following link will give parents and students more detailed information on Governor’s Cup competitions that the Academic Team will be participating in this year: http://www.kaac.com/govcup/index.html. The MathCOUNTS competition will be held on February 28th at the University of Louisville.
You can also e-mail Mrs. Cox (lcox@christianacademyschools.org) or Mrs. Preston (mpreston@christianacademyschools.org) with any questions or comments.

Abuse Awareness Program
This afternoon, an e-mail was sent out to all 6th grade parents to inform you of the schedule for the Abuse Awareness Program that is given to Elementary, Middle, and High School students each year by their respective School Counselors. In 2006 the Christian Academy School Board mandated this presentation be made each year in order to educate students on child abuse. The Abuse Awareness Powerpoint briefly discusses this growing challenge in our current culture. I will be visiting 6th grade Bible classes on the following dates:
Mrs. Furnas: November 17th
Mrs. Jordan: December 1st
Mrs. Paschal: December 5th
A useful link that parents can use to research sex offenders in your area is the National Sex Offender Registry found at http://www.familywatchdog.us/.
As always, if you have any questions regarding this presentation, please call or e-mail me!
