End-of-Year Reflection and Celebration A Year of Growth, Achievement, and Community GROWTH AND EXPANSION Since our humble beginnings in 2008, when we opened with just two preschool classrooms, we have seen an extraordinary increase in enrollment. Today, we are blessed to nurture 120 students, a testament to the trust and support of our community. This year, we are thrilled to announce the approval to begin the process of building a new facility that will accommodate an additional 260 students. This new building will feature a multi-purpose room with a capacity for over 800 people, serving as both a versatile event space and an indoor gym. ACADEMIC AND PERSONAL ACHIEVEMENTS Our students have successfully completed another academic year, showcasing their dedication and hard work. Recently, they completed their Iowa Skills Assessment, reflecting their academic progress and readiness for future challenges
Enriching Our Staff Our commitment to providing a comprehensive education continues to grow. Last year,we welcomed a Coach and an Art instructor to our team. This year, we have further enhanced our staff by adding Music and Spanish instructors, ensuring our students receive a well-rounded education that nurtures their creative and linguistic abilities. Parent Involvement and Support The moral and spiritual development of our students has been profound, flourishing in all aspects of their studies. This growth would not have been possible without the unwavering support from our parents and church community. We extend our heartfelt thanks for your willingness to volunteer during our monthly field trips and fundraisers. Your involvement has significantly enriched our students’ experiences, creating lasting memories and fostering a strong sense of community. As we look back on this wonderful year, we are filled with gratitude for the achievements and growth we have witnessed. We eagerly anticipate a fun-filled summer and look forward to welcoming everyone back in August. Together, we will continue to inspire and nurture our children, guiding them with love and faith.
“ Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will stand before kings and not mere men.” Proverbs. 22:29
This is our desire of every child who enters the doors of Lifted Academy. Together, we will continue to develop leaders who will make a huge impact on our community in the years to come with God’s help, as well as yours and our church leaders. God is good, and we anticipate the future with great hope and expectancy of what He will continue to do in and through us all. Thank you for being an integral part of our school community. May the grace of the Lord continue to bless our endeavors and bring joy to our hearts
