October Comes to and End


Monday Morning is always a great day when you can ride in a Cow Train.
Have a happy Monday! Love to you from the TCA office and library.

Make A Difference Assembly

Do you think you can make a difference? That is the question some of our younger students attempted to answer today.
It was all about character, accomplishments, and challenges at Carolina Academy on Monday, October 31st when the Student Council sponsored a special "Making a Difference" assembly program. In keeping with the school's "Road to Character" theme, students were recognized for showing the qualities of honesty and integrity throughout the month of October, as well as for their successful efforts in fund raising at TCA. The school wide winners for the Veteran's of Foreign Wars writing contest were announced, second, third, and fourth graders presented their thoughts on making a difference through good citizenship, and first grader Olivia McConnell challenged the audience to remember that everyone can make a difference and that every effort - whether great or small - counts. The assembly ended with sophomore Rachel Cook presenting information about the Lysol Blue Ribbon Attendance Challenge, a program that encourages better health habits at school and at home; and Mr. Kenneth Bowen gave the Wounded Warrior Foundation Challenge to all homerooms. On Veterans' Day, each homeroom will be asked to contribute to this worthy cause with needed supplies from a list of items that can make a difference in the lives of our wounded warriors! TCA is “Making a Difference” all around you! Congratulations to our students and families!
Remember our Veteran's Day Salute will be Nov. 11th - 8:45 a. m., the public is invited!
