LCA Community - The Ragland Family

Jessica and Mike Ragland have a daughter, Amanda, who attends the LCA 6th Grade Academy and a son, Pierce, who is a sophomore.  

How has virtual instruction worked for your family? We just wanted to express our gratitude for the excellent manner in which all of LCA has conducted school since this pandemic has forced us to rely on virtual instruction and social distancing. We realized we have told several friends and family members how we felt about LCA in these current circumstances, but we want to let everyone at the school know how much we really appreciate each of you.

We have been overwhelmed at the thorough and exceptional way online teaching and communication has been maintained. From the day before school was canceled back in March you all were preparing - and our kids didn't miss a beat!  From the teachers who tape instructional videos or hold online meetings, or send emails inquiring about our kids or respond quickly to our questions, to the software already in place - we are thankful.  And, grateful too for the emails inquiring about prayer needs. Please know we have been praying for you all too - the students, teachers, staff, and leaders of our school.  

I never thought our high schooler, Pierce, and our 6th grader, Amanda, would miss their teachers, coaches and friends so much - but they do! That's a testimony within itself! We eagerly look forward to the day we are back on campus! 

What would you tell other parents who are considering enrolling their children at LCA? Make the commitment! Investing in a Christian education provides our children with a solid foundation in the gospel truth to lead others with love and integrity in our world.
