Happy Sunday HCA Families!
As we start to plan for exams, in no time at all, we'll be preparing for the holidays. There are quite a few new announcements, so pleas read through the update carefully. Have a wonderful week ahead!

SCHOOL PICTURES
We have defintely set the record for rescheduling our school pictures this year! Each year, we plan for alternate dates, but because of severe illness, and NOW inclement weather (the photos are taken outside), we are pushing them off once again. Students will NOT have pictures on Monday and Tuesday (11/4 and 5) and WILL need to wear their uniforms. Please check Band for the picture announcement as we are watching the weather and hope to reschedule for the end of the week.
EXAM WEEK VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Exam week is right around the corner—November 13-21. We are looking for volunteers to help with transcribing exams and/or filling in as short-term classroom subs. This is a wonderful way to support our students and teachers during a busy time - and its a lot of fun!
A post with the days and time slots that need to be filled are posted at the top of our Family Band!
HOLIDAY TRAVEL
As we start approaching a busy time of year, please keep a few things in mind:
1) If your child will be absent during the week+ of exams (November 13-21) due to planned travel time, please contact the office and their teacher as soon as possible to make arrangements for them to take their exams early/at an alternate time.
2) if your family is going to be absent for our Christmas Chapel (on December 18+19) PLEASE let their teacher know as soon as possible! Each class will be presenting a recitation in chapel, and your teachers need to know if there are any planned absences for that day, so that they can plan the presentation accordingly.
CHAPEL OFFERING
Each year, HCA chooses a non-profit to partner with and we collect an offering during each chapel. The funds collected are then sent off to our chosen charity at the end of the year. This year, we are going to partner with Samaritan's Purse and raise funds for the victims of Hurricane Helene in North Carolina. The comunities that were devastated by the hurricane will be rebuidling for years, so we will be talking about this charity all year long and will send in our final offering to them later this Spring.
SCHOOL LUNCHES

A YEAR OF PRAYER
In chapel, we’re focusing on prayer this year, and we’d love to know how we can pray for you. If you or your spouse are in full-time ministry or non-profit work, please let me know—we’d love to include you in our prayers. We’re also reaching out to local churches, so let us know if yours would like to connect. Feel free to email me at k.rea@heritagechristianacademy.net.
