Secondary Scripture Memory:

Dear Parents,

Scripture memory is an important piece to your student’s growth and development here at Bethany Academy. We’d like to take this opportunity to let you know how Scripture memory will work for grades 7-12 for the 2008-2009 school year.

Each month a passage of Scripture is required to be memorized as part of the student’s English grade. We will begin in October with Romans 12:1-2. November will continue on from there, adding vv. 3-5, making the passage to memorize Romans 12:1-5. December will continue on from where November left off, making the passage to memorize Romans 12:1-8. Each month your student will need to memorize a few new verses while remembering the previous month’s verses as well. By the end of the school year, your student will have memorized Romans 12 in its entirety. Our goal is for your student to create a “brain tattoo” of Scripture and hide it in their hearts rather than merely to “remember for the moment, forget for the future”.

To help you with the memorization, we have put the entire schedule for the year on Edline for you to download as you need to. If your student would like to memorize the entire passage early, that is great! However, your student will still be expected to say or write the required Scripture for each month in order to participate successfully in the graded monthly Scripture quiz.

We appreciate your partnership as we continue to raise the bar to challenge your students towards excellence and leadership with a heart that seeks after God’s own.

Sincerely,

Miss Clark and Mr. Merry

Hot Lunch Volunteers Needed:

Bethany Academy is still looking for 1- 2 volunteers to work the hot lunch program on the 2^nd &/or 4^th Wednesday of every month.  We have one volunteer for each day so far but still need 1-2 more.  The time required is from 10:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and includes set-up, serving and a little clean-up afterward.  Please call Jean Figi at the Academy office if you have any questions or time available to help.  Thank You
