See You at the Poles -- Uplifting and Emotional

Amid the morning fog, birds singing, and the sun peeking through the clouds, fifty - two students, staff and parents gathered around the flagpole before school to pray together. The entire event was student lead by the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. JJ Fennell, Student Body President, opened the event with a scripture reading from Matthew. The desire of the SYATP day was expressed then JJ gave an opening prayer. Students and adults were instructed to break-out into smaller groups with a group leaders in order to pray together for our school, the students, teachers, government, and our nation.
Students then returned to the larger circle and joined hands for sentence prayers. Many of the students expressed their prayers openly. FCA President, Scarlett Boyd, lead us in singing "Who am I" before closing the event with another Bible reading and prayer.

Nationally, many students feel the burden to share their faith and unite to pray for our nation on this special day, the third Wednesday in September.

Today the number has grown to 3 million students in the U.S. and there are also students in 20 other countries that participate in the event.

Thank you to the FCA sponsors, Mr. Kenneth Bowen and Coach John Wall, and to all the students who took a stand to let their lights shine at TCA.

Monday Morning Choices, Are You Ready?

Making good choices is a never-ending challenge. It requires hard work and daily diligence. Life requires that we choose between alternatives every hour of the day, every day of our lives. Making good choices requires constant focus and attention.
Our daily challenge is to live our character, action, and investment choices so naturally that we begin making the best choices almost subconsciously. This requires patience, honest reflection, adaptation, and commitment. excerpt from Monday Morning Choices, by David Cottrell.
How do you feel about Monday Mornings? Make them a great adventure not your adversary.
