Newsletter 5/4/24
Meet our new teaching staff for 2024-25!
We are thrilled to FINALLY be able to introduce you to our SEVEN new teachers for next year! Once again, God sent us exactly who we were looking for. These highly experienced, skilled teachers who love the Lord will lead us into a very important year of expansion next year.
Mrs. McKenzie will be our only returning teacher next year and has earned the title, “Resident Expert” in Redemptive Education :) Mrs. Parker will be welcoming a new baby into her family in just a couple of weeks and Mrs. Brown has also decided to stay home with her two littlest ones next year. We are so grateful for their time and commitment to Joshua Academy in its inaugural year. We could not have risen to this place without them!

Below are photos of Mrs. Parker’s class blessing us BIG at chapel Friday. WOW! They prepared and sang “Springtime” by Chris Renzema, which went with their unit on time and seasons. The kids then each created posters with words from the song along with their interpretation of what the lyrics meant to them. How wonderful it was to see and hear them making connections between the WORD and the WORLD in this creative way!
Only 15 days of school left, and counting! The kids and teachers are excited to finish strong. We’ve wrapped up standardized testing and will be preparing our accreditation application this summer. Student applications continue to roll in and interviews have gone great! We’re already looking forward to getting to know over 50 new students in the Fall. Thank you for your support and prayers throughout a very busy summer.
If you’re seeking giving opportunities, please consider Joshua Academy as a recipient of your generosity. We are doing excellent work and our kids are thriving academically as they also come to know Jesus in a deeper and more meaningful way!
