RIdge Christian Academy

We began this school year in prayer. 💚

This week, our RCA community gathered for Convocation Prayer — taking time to pray over our students, staff, families, and the year ahead.

From those prayer-filled moments to the rocks created by both students and staff, we’re reminded that prayer is not just something we do at the beginning of the year — it’s part of who we are.

We’re grateful for the many ways our community continues to cover our school in prayer, including our upcoming Praying Moms group and opportunities like our moms’ Bible study.

May this year be one deeply rooted in Christ as we continue Loving God, Loving Others, and Empowering Learners.

“But blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence. They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water.”
Jeremiah 17:7–8

Happy Labor Day! See you tomorrow.

RCA parents… we made you a little back-to-school wellness check. 😂🎒
How many squares can you check off?
If you’ve already:
• lost a shoe
• bought 47 snacks
• said “we really need to fix bedtime”
• AND discovered something questionable in last year’s lunchbox…
you’re doing great. 😂
Screenshot it, mark your squares, and share it to your story — or tell us your score in the comments.
Bonus points if you already have BINGO and school hasn’t even started yet. 👀

Before they were teachers… they were the kids in the classroom. 🥹📚
And apparently, some of them were already preparing for their future careers. 😂
We asked our elementary teachers to dig through the family photo albums and send us pictures of themselves when they were little — and these were WAY too good not to share.
The sweetest part? Many of them are right around the same age in these photos as the students they teach today. ❤️
From little learners ➡️ to the teachers who now get to encourage, challenge, pray for, laugh with, and love a whole new generation of little learners.
Some things just feel meant to be. 🥹
RCA families… can you guess who is who before you swipe? 👀

It’s Kindness Week on Campus! 🫶🏼

Every day our students will be encouraged and taught what it means to spread kindness to others both inside and outside our community.

Our Vision Statement, to Love God, people, and empower learners, reflects Matthew 22:37-39: “…..You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

This is what we hope to cultivate this week: Loving God by being kind to others around us.

🫶🏼April 27-30
👕Free dress all week!
🚫Friday, May 1st: NO School

Make sure to ask your student every day after school this week: How have you shown kindness at school, and how can you apply this at home?
