AWARDS CEREMONY WILL BE AT 7:30PM IN THE GYM Our Admissions Open House is fast approaching! This event is for new and prospective families, so if you know anyone who is looking for something new for the 2022-23 school year, please invite them! On Friday, April 22, we would love to have all OCA students and families join us for a night of worship, with special guest speaker Pastor Lawrence Neisent. Pastor Lawrence joins us all the way from Oklahoma City, where he is Lead Pastor at Destiny Christian Center, and serves in leadership at Destiny Christian School, a K-12 school of over 500 students. Lawrence also serves as an overseer to various churches and non-profit organizations nationally and internationally, seeking to equip the church to be a relevant voice of prophetic influence in the local, national, and global community. He joined us for Chapel and a special financial workshop in September, and the students really enjoyed his energy and relevant, applicable message. He will be speaking in morning chapel on the 22nd as well, where he will address both Elementary and MSHS. Feel free to invite family members, friends, and church members to join us for this very special evening. 2022-23 ENROLLMENT It's time to start preparing for next year! We want to get an early start on enrollment for the 2022-23 school year. Early enrollment helps guarantee your child's continued education at OCA and helps us plan and organize for the upcoming school year. Space is limited and we want to make sure our current families are locked in and ensured a spot. Packets have been sent home and may be turned in at any time. New Enrollment opens April 7 Farewell, Mr. DeForest! Today we wish Mr. DeForest all the best as he leaves OCA and starts a new position at Hartwick College to do some "real-life chemistry". The students are really going to miss him, but we look forward to having him around at events and as a sub from time to time!
