We were honored to host Isaac Taher, a speaker with Protect Young Eyes. For our older students he presented relatable content empowering them to use technology responsibly in the digital space. He reminded students that we are made in God's image and He cares for us enough to even die for us, and that we should not allow screens, social media, sports, or even academics to define who we are. Our true identity is found in Christ alone. It is likely at some point our students will enounter pictures and links that cause confusion, discomfort, etc. He encouraged students to tell a caring adult immediately if that should happen. There are no good digital secrets.

First grade learned about Lewis and Clark and their expedition to make a map of our country. We tried our hand at map making, and drew maps of our classroom!
BINGO!!
Third grade worked very hard today to complete their morning work. As a fun way to finish the day, we had some multiplication competition. From flash card relay to multiplication bingo. Hard work is paying off for these students.
Mountain Home Christian Academy will be in session, Monday, Jan. 13.
The MHCA Internship program is in full swing!!!
Today, students enrolled in the Baxter Health White Coat program received their white coats and stethoscopes, during the Baxter Health Welcome Ceremony. Students and families were all invited in to tour the simulation lab, to get an up-close look at the opportunities students will be exposed to during the course of the semester.
White Coat participants are Grace Currier, Jason McQuitty and Emma Ehlinger (not pictured). We wish them luck as they embark on their healthcare fields of study!!
A favorite book in the fifth grade curriculum is C.S. Lewis', "The Horse and His Boy".

Thank you to all who were able to attend our tech-safety event last night. I hope you found it helpful and encouraging. Protecting our families is one of our top priorities and we are so grateful for your participation! We refuse to bury our heads in the sand! Here's a couple images from that event.
The epic (parent group) meeting scheduled for today at noon at MHCA has been canceled. The next meeting is set for Feb. 12th at noon.
Mountain Home Christian Academy will be closed Friday, January 10th, due to the weather forecast. This day will not need to be made up, as it was designated as a scheduled snow day. We are announcing early to assist families in making necessary plans. Stay safe and warm!
Fifth grade has a tradition of writing birthday blessings on post-it notes for the birthday kid. Somehow that tradition has morphed to include posting these notes ON the birthday kid!
First Grade scholars were SO focused during their directed drawing time. We love using this time to practice following directions (in a fun way 😉), and our art skills.
Here are some of the cutest polar bears I've ever seen! 🐻❄️🥰
