The Shield
Keeping the Faith and Keeping Connected
JANUARY 12, 2018
Blessed are those who keep His statutes and seek Him with all their heart. ~Psalm 119:2
Welcome to Spring semester 2018 at Heritage Academy!
Heritage Academy is the place to be for students and families who want to develop a Christ-centered life, prepare for college, and partner with God’s purposes for their life.
It has been a real joy to meet your student this past week and I am amazed at the dedication of our quality faculty! I am excited to be a part of the Heritage family. If you ever have questions, comments, or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
-Mr. Ragsdell

INCLEMENT WEATHER
Heritage Academy will often follow the judgment of Columbia Public Schools regarding wintry weather and the possibility of a school-day closing. However, Heritage Academy’s final response related to wintry weather will be made independently from the public schools.
Please know that a decision will be made as early as feasible and safe, as every storm is unique. A decision will be made the night before when possible or the morning of by 6:30am. Any school-day cancellation OR delayed start notification will be posted to Heritage Academy’s website, Facebook page, and local news channels. We will also use REMIND (you can still sign up!), which will alert you of changes in school hours via text or email as you choose when you sign up.
VALENTINES FOR THE TROOPS
UPWARD SERVICE AND HA PROMOTION OPPORTUNITY
We have the opportunity to get the word out about our school and serve at Upward Basketball games on February 2nd & 3rd. There are two ways you can get involved:
Concessions: Three people work concessions. Older students may do this, but must include one adult. Each sign up time is one hour long.
Half-Time Speaker: This could be one or more people presenting 3-5 minutes. The presentations can be anything faith related: a song, how Christ has touched your life, how Heritage has blessed your family, a ministry that you're involved in, etc.
If you would like to sign up, go HERE to save your spot!
