K5 Graduation
Believe it or not our time in Kindergarten is coming to a close.  After a year of learning a variety of components in kindergarten, graduation is a time of great excitement for the little ones to become First graders!  The students have been working so hard all year long and it really shows!  The teachers here at BCA would like thank you for sharing your children with us each day.  We have enjoyed watching them  grow academically, physically and as always, spiritually.  It has been amazing to see how your children have grown and changed throughout the course of the school year.  The time that we have been able to spend with your child will be treasured always.  Take time to pray for each student as they are about to enter a new season in life! Make plans to join us for Kindergarten graduation on Thursday, May 16th at 7 p.m

Ships and History
On Wednesday, April 24th some of our students took a deck tour of the tall ship Lynx stationed in the coastal wasters of Brunswick.  We learned that the Lynx is an authentic replica of the ship built in 1812.  the Lynx helped to defend American freedom.
During our tour the students heard the sound of a cannon's blast, listened to sailors dressed in seafarers' costumes, learned about the ship's history, and were introduced to the privateer's daily life while on board the ship.  Did you know that privateers could preserve meat to eat by using salt? We also listened to "chanteys," songs sung by sailors as they worked.  We enjoyed hearing the banjo, tambourine, and harmonica to name just a few of the instruments played aboard the ship.  Our students enjoyed the day and had lots of fun picnicing at pier.  We returned to BCA with sun kissed faces and stories to tell.

The Garden Project
K-5 through 8th grade.
Our BCA families and teachers have donated plants and garden art to prepare our courtyard and flower beds for Easter.  We thank everyone who has sent plants, seeds, and flowers.  Please come sign in at the office and visit our gardens to see our progress.  Please see our Garden Page on this website for additional pictures.
The Meaning of Easter
​The meaning of Easter is Jesus Christ's victory over death.  His resurrection symbolizes the eternal life that is granted to all who believe in Him.  The meaning of Easter also symbolizes the complete verification of all that Jesus Preached and taught during His three-year ministry.  If He had not risen from the dead, if He had merely died and not been resurrected,  He would have been considered just another teacher or Rabbi.  However, His resurrection changed all that and gave final and irrefutable proof that He is really the Son of God and that He has conquered death once and for all.
However, Easter did not always symbolize Christ's resurrection from the dead and the meaning of Easter was quite different that what Christians celebrate today.   The Feast day of Easter was originally a pagan celebration of renewal and rebirth.  Celebrated in the early Spring, it honored the pagan Saxon goddess Eastre.  When the earl missionaries converted the Saxons to Christianity, the holiday, since it fell around the same time as the traditional memorial of Christ's resurrection from the dead, was merged with the pagan celebration, and became known as Easter.  The meaning of Easter was also changed to reflect its new Christian orientation.
Today, the meaning of Easter, for millions of Christians, is that of honoring and recognizing Jesus Christ's resurrection from the dead, and His glorious promise of eternal life for all who receive Him as Lord and Savior.
Teen Mental Health Problems Rising
A recent Pew report revealed a disturbing rise in anxiety and depression teens born after 1994.  According to the report, "teens (born after 1994) are suffering from much higher rates of anxiety and depression" than those between 1982 and 1994.  Seven in ten teens say that these are big issues in their communities. 
In a recent article in the Guardian magazine, psychologist Jonathan Haidt and Pamela Paresky also reported a similar sharp increase in teen anxiety and depression.  Today's teen girls are being admitted often to hospitals for intentionally cutting themselves.  Since 2009 the rate of these hospital admissions is up 60% in the United States and Britain.
An even greater tragedy is occurring with teen suicides.  In 2016 the suicide rate for boys was up 34% over the years from 2006-2010.  For girls the suicide rate climbed an astonishing 82% over prior years.
Clearly, it is time for all parents and teen friends to watch for signs of metal problems in our young people.  Our constant vigilance could save a precious life.

Elementary PE
The Elementary students have enjoyed PE this year working together as a class and learning the importance of exercise, teamwork, and fun.
Thank you Mr.Roberson for all you do teaching our students.
Trash
It seems as our day goes by we forget that we need to be responsible for our own actions.  Just the simple task of throwing away your trash in the lunchroom and not throwing it at the trashcan cam make a difference.  Reminding your classmates to pick up behind themselves and being respectful of others by going the extra mile and picking up trash or articles left by others.  As middle & high school students, we must be an example to the younger students.  They learn by example, so if they see you make a mess or walk by a mess left by others, then they will learn that it is not important to keep our environment and school clean.  Let's be proud of our school and remember to recycle.
