A Message from Dr. Hicks

November 2024

We made it to Quarter II—only by His Grace (James 4:6), Hallelujah! Parent-Teacher conferences are happening this week, Thursday only, for all grade levels, and I am hopeful you will have substantive conversations with your child’s Teacher to align learning objectives and goals. As we continue to work together to broaden the academic scope of each child at Sonshine, I ask that you remember the importance of the choice you made to send your child to a uniform school. The impactful thing about children wearing uniforms is that it prepares them for the Professional world of intentional boundaries. Making the mental shift now is foundational to the requirements that our children will face as they are learning to become responsible income-earning citizens. Please take the time to revisit our uniform code and feel free to contact our office if you have questions on how to obtain vouchers to receive financial assistance with purchasing any item associated with the uniform.

Sonshine Christian Academy is happy to partner with The World’s Finest Chocolate to offer a fundraising opportunity to support our building improvement initiatives. Candy bars (almond, caramel, and crunch) will be available for sale starting next week for $1. To sweeten the already sweet deal, the top three boys and top three girls who sale the most candy will automatically be placed on the school’s Homecoming Court! The boy and girl who sale the most candy throughout the entire school will win Homecoming King and Queen! Please help your child win this most memorable distinction and let’s have fun selling candy! This fundraiser will start next week, starting November 11th, and will end January 13th. A special awards ceremony to honor the Homecoming Court, King, and Queen will happen on Friday, January 31st!

The 4th through 8th grade boys are welcome to join the basketball team at Sonshine! There are two separate leagues that will accommodate the different age/grade levels: 4th and 5th graders will be guided by Coach Jones, and the 6th-8th graders will be supported by Coach Taylor. Practices start November 18th! Please refer to our basketball flier to review important dates for practices, prices, and location information. Go Blazers!
We have a variety of ways for you to engage with us at Sonshine during the month of November—from our Veterans Day Program, and Career Day! If you know of any businesses that would like to attend our Career Day, please have them reach out to Ms. Wallace at [email protected] for details. Please review the following events

In the Service of King Jesus,
