BCCA MESSENGER Sept. 2, 2019
Harmoniously blending the work of redemption and education
WELCOME BACK BCCA FAMILIES
We are excited to see all of you again at BCCA! The new school year has begun at Big Cove Christian Academy under the leadership of our Principal, Mr. Lucas Smith. We began the new year with a time of united prayer for our teachers and students in each of the classrooms. We solicit all of your prayers each day as you intercede for our teachers and our students, as we endeavor to instill Christ's character in them.
New Additions
Let's give a big warm WELCOME to our newest staff addition at BCCA, Kristi Bishop. She will be teaming with Mrs. Daily, and assisting in the Kindergarten class. We are so glad she has joined us, and look forward to her gifts and talents at the school.
Let's give another warm WELCOME to Malinda McCleary, our Music Teacher for this school year. Music class will meet every Wednesday. We are blessed to have her music creativity, and for instilling Godly music in our children.

Each BOX TOP is worth .10 cents! Another way to support our school is to sign up at Publix.com account (if you don’t already have one), select a school, then enter your phone number at checkout.

We have exciting news for the upcoming year! In our efforts to expand Big Cove Christian Academy grades out to the 12th grade, we have partnered with Atlanta Adventist Academy, who have agreed to provide classroom training using a live Long Distance Learning module. Please keep this initiative in prayer.
