Keep our mission team in your prayers this week! We had a safe trip today and a great meal and Mondays schedule will include work in a house that was damaged in the flood here, and putting together and providing meals in town.
We will also be doing an afterschool VBS program in the local public school. #thirstmissions
Third grade enjoys the last day before spring break with a science experiment. Making slim is always a win for the students.

Fifth graders went on a world wide "Nations" tour to Portugal, France, Myanmar, Japan, Mexico, Jamaica, Russia, South Africa and the Bahamas all in three days!
Fifth grade made a food web showing connection between producers, herbivores, carnivores and omnivores.
Tomorrow has been designated MHCA T-shirt day. Instead of your uniform, students and staff may wear a MHCA tshirt and jeans!
First graders are working on comparing characters in the books we read. One tool we are using to help us compare is a Venn Diagram. We are comparing our Ant and Grasshopper characters 🐜🦗!
After rocking their book reports and vocabulary quizzes, the freshmen are enjoying some board games. Shhh, don't tell them they're still using their brains.

"A special thank you to the students, staff and parents of MHCA who participated in the work day at Bakersfield, in the aftermath of the tornado. The love and hard work shown by this outstanding group of people was a blessing to the town and the Bakersfield Church of Christ. We couldn't have accomplished everything without you!!! Your light will continue to shine as we distribute items to the community members in need." -Jennifer Bridges
Our MHCA students had the opportunity to serve in Bakersfield, bringing help and hope to the community after the recent tornado. The student's worked hard to assist those in need, demonstrating Christ’s love through their actions. We are proud of their servant hearts and willingness to be the hands and feet of Jesus!!
Due to the work being done by the 9th through 12th graders in Bakersfield today, track and field practice has been canceled for today. Thank you.
Dear MHCA Parents,
On Monday, March 17th, our 9th-12th grade students will have the opportunity to put their faith into action by traveling to Bakersfield, MO, to assist with tornado cleanup efforts. This is more than just a service project—it is a powerful way for our students to live out the mission and vision of Mountain Home Christian Academy.
We will provide transportation and leave right after our morning assembly. Please email me at dbyrd@bakersfield.k12.mo.us or send a note giving your 9th-12th grader permission to go. Students will need to pack a sack lunch, bring work gloves, wear boots or other solid sole shoes, and wear your MHCA t-shirt. We will plan to return by 3:30. Please be in prayer for the people of Bakersfield and for our students as they prepare to serve. If you have any questions, feel free to email me at the above address.
Just a reminder, Open Enrollment closes for returning students Sunday and Late Enrollment begins. Complete those re-enrollment packets to get the best deal on your enrollment fee. Monday, MHCA begins processing new student applications and inviting students to enroll. Open enrollment is the last opportunity to ensure your student has a seat in a classroom.
Cow heart anyone?? White Coat interns discover the field of surgical technology during their internships on Tuesday, by gowning up and examining cow hearts.
Life Skills students continue their study on teamwork as they attempt to build the tallest freestanding tower out of spaghetti and marshmallows.
From @protectyoungeyes,
"Almost zero sedentary screen time for ages 0-5 is what our children need. No digital pacifiers! When they get to elementary school, almost zero technology is needed in the process of learning. Young humans need visceral, physical experiences to properly develop into adapted, resilient, emotionally intelligent young people."

If we could pick two shirts that say we are ready for Spring Break, it would be these twins!
