Summit Up
May 15, 2015
“Partnering with parents to offer a challenging biblically-based education resulting in
students who are motivated to confidently impact their world for Christ.”
A Note From the Principal’s Office:
As early enrollment ends, we are so excited to see so many families re-enrolling
and equally excited about all the new families God is bringing to our school. God is
up to something amazing here at SCA and I’m excited to be a part of it.
Craig’s List? Monster? Jobs.com? ACSI? When most organizations need
employees they seek them out via one of these avenues. We’ve done none of
these and have been amazed at how many quality applicants God has brought to
us. We have far more applicants than positions. Some great prospects will have to
be turned away.
God brought us an amazing woman to fill our HS science position. She’s a
graduate of Clearwater Christian College with a pre-med major. She plans to
pursue post graduate work in education. She’s taught in both Christian and public
schools, but knows God wants her in a Christian school like SCA. She loves
science and chose to take more advanced classes like cell biology, biochemistry
and genetics.
Our new Kindergarten teacher is a graduate of BBC (SUP) with a degree in Early
Education. Her passion for teaching and love for young children was contagious at
her interviews. She’s also taught in both Christian and public schools and also
stated that God’s will for her is to teach in a school that allows her to share her faith
with her students. I’ve had personal oversight over her in Awana for two years.
Before I ever had a clue that God would call me to be the Administrator, I told her
how impressed I was with how she handled specifically the Kindergarteners on our
team. I told her if she ever needed a letter of recommendation, I would be happy to
do so. Ironically, she doesn’t need my letter now.
We also have made a job offer to a wonderful woman to teach 2nd and/or 1st grade.
We’re simply waiting on her to sign her contract. More important than anything else,
these are all godly women who have a personal relationship with Christ and want to
share that with their students as they seek to mentor them and invest in their lives.
Many people tend to limit God and what He can do. Complaining is an expression
of unbelief in God and His sovereignty in our lives. Thanks to Terry Michael for
sharing this truth from God’s Word. Next week, Reid Anderson from Rock Mountain
Bible Camp will be here to share.
We were notified this week that Matthew Earle received a college scholarship from
the Scranton Area Foundation. The HS office receives lots of information on
scholarships and from various colleges. We are here to help our students succeed
even after graduation. Even though not every student may qualify, we always make
sure we get every scholarship opportunity in their hands. Matt has been a quiet
leader at SCA and I’m excited to see Matt benefit from this.
Please call, text, email or stop in with questions anytime.
John Antolick, Administrator

SCA’s 1st Annual Community Yard Sale:
Spring is a great time for spring cleaning and
decluttering. Do you have things that are still usable that you’d like
to get rid of? Sign up to participate in SCA’s community yard sale to
be held Saturday, May 30th. Parking spaces will be rented out for
$25 each (first come first pick). See attached flier and contract for
more information. Contact Jessica Lehman at titiali4@yahoo.com or
(610) 297-1269.
Perennial Flower Group:
SCA is always looking for ways to make our
campus more beautiful. Thank you to Mr. and
Mrs. Ferraro for donating the beautiful flowers
that are in the pots at the front of each building.
As you begin to work in your garden, if you notice that you have perennials that are taking over
and it’s time to split them, we would love to take
them off of your hands. They will be put to good
use on our campus.
