Decking the Halls with Before Care Students
Did You Know???
While Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, the actual date is lost to history. There's no mention of December 25 in the Bible and many historians say Jesus was really born in the spring.

Hard Hat Winner...Matthew Malou
This is some of the things the teacher who nominated him said about Matthew. Matthew is a highly social member of the classroom, participating in discussions frequently. He constantly maintains a light and respectful attitude when working with group mates, on projects, activities, or even just social situations. He is a highly positive and kind individual who noticeably makes choices that positively impact him and his peers socially. He is the ultimate element of positivity toward a welcoming environment.
A Note from our Director of Marketing & Enrollment - Mrs. Bateman
The Advent Season has begun! One of the best parts about being in a Christian school, is being able to share the good news of Jesus' birth with our students, families, and community! Throughout the Advent season you will often see an Advent wreath in Christian schools and churches. Did you know that the first candle, which is purple, symbolizes hope? It is sometimes called the “Prophecy Candle” in remembrance of the prophets, especially Isaiah, who foretold the birth of Christ. It represents the expectation felt in anticipation of the coming Messiah.
There is no better season to join the BIA community! Test scores are up...and rising, our updated campus is inviting, and our students are happier than ever. We'd so appreciate you sharing your BIA experience with friends and neighbors Thank you for choosing to invest in your child's academic, spiritual, social, and emotional future at BIA! We currently have limited spots open in a few of our grades...and we'd love to fill those. If you have family or friends who are interested, please direct them to myself (abateman@biachicago.com) or have them call the school office. We'd love a introduction, and as always, are thankful for your help in spreading the word about BIA.
