MANE Things
Dear MCA Community,

 

Amidst the busy schedules and many school activities, I want to pause and reflect once more on our theme verse for the year, Isaiah 40:31.

 

"But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."

 

In our ongoing pursuit of academic excellence and spiritual development, it is vital that we remain grounded in this truth. Despite the daily rigors of coursework, extracurriculars, and personal growth, our foundational prayer is that we learn to draw endurance not from our own efforts, but from a steadfast, unwavering hope in Christ.

 

Thank you for your continued partnership in this mission, and we truly appreciate all that you continue to do for your children and this community.

 

Blessings,
Deb Larson-Jarpe, Head of School
