Step Up and Lead

TCA students lead the way with servant leadership retreat. (Josh, Zach, Stephanie, Whitney, Mason, and Grayson)
The weekend was sponsored by the Lake City First Baptist Church. These six students participated in the annual fall leadership weekend with their first stop at Allendale Elementary School here the youth read to kindergarten students. Upon realizing that Allendale is one of the poorest areas in our nation, in August the youth raised money for ministry to children living there. The entire youth group committed to cosponsoring a literacy fair for 30 families this spring. The weekend also included Bible studies, a time of exploration, prayer and reflection on Capers Island, a wildlife preserve. This group of young leaders is lead by Mrs. Martha Patrick, wife of Pastor Shane Patrick of the Lake City Church. Mr. Kenneth Bowen and Mrs. Tina Askins also served as chaperones for the retreat.

English III Honors Go Gaming

Ms. Mary Ryan's English Honors III class has been busy designing game boards to go along with their current literature unit on Medieval culture. Three student groups had the task of constructing their own game board along with game pieces and a series of questions based on the unit of study. The groups also had to come up with a set of rules to play the game. The boards reflected the Medieval Age and consisted of different icons such as livestock, dragons, jousting, fiefs, and manors. Each game board was colorful, creative, and unique in its own way. These sophomores have enjoyed the hands-on learning activity about the Medieval culture.
