*SCHOOL-WIDE*
Box Tops Competition ends tomorrow
Each semester we have a Box Top Competition to earn money for our school. We pit Boys vs. Girls, and the winners get an ice-cream treat! Make sure you check your pantry, fridge, or freezer, and ask people you know (grandparents, uncles/aunts, neighbors, friends) for their Box Tops. The competition is only until tomorrow, October 20th, so bring in your Box Tops today!

Take Flight tomorrow
Friday, October 20th, elementary students and parents are invited to “Take Flight,” an activity in the gym @ 12:30pm. Bring a lunch to eat in the elementary commons beforehand.
*SECONDARY*
Chapel
Each Monday at 9:45-10:15am the secondary students gather for Chapel which includes five minutes of reading the Bible independently, singing songs led by a student worship team, and listening to a speaker (teachers, parents, youth ministers, and other students) speak encouragement and guidance from scripture. It is a wonderful way to begin the school week! And Parents, you are always welcome to join us!

Old School Values, New School Schedule
Heritage Academy is a University-Model® School, facilitating students' access to excellent education, increased time with family, and opportunities for growth toward maturity while providing a cost-effective, college-preparatory education. In an age where family life is becoming increasingly fragmented, the unique structure of the model also serves to “turn the hearts of fathers to their children, and the hearts of children to their fathers ” (Malachi 4:6).
