We are so incredibly proud of Maegan on receiving the DAISY Award! 🌼

From the time she walked through the doors of Richlands Christian Academy, Maegan stood out for her kindness, compassion, and genuine love for others. She consistently displayed a Christ-like spirit, and it is such a blessing to see those same qualities continue to shine through in her nursing career.

The DAISY Award recognizes extraordinary nurses who go above and beyond in caring for their patients, and we cannot think of anyone more deserving. Your heart for people, your servant’s spirit, and your commitment to excellence make a difference every single day.

Congratulations, Maegan! We are honored to have been a small part of your journey, and we pray God continues to use you in a mighty way as you minister to others through your profession.

Tomorrow is a very important day for our school family. Sis. April will be undergoing her third HIPEC surgery, a procedure expected to last 15–20 hours.

We ask that you please pray fervently for her.
Please pray specifically:

• For God’s hand to guide every decision made by the medical team.
• For complete protection from any complications.
• For the successful removal of all disease and that it can all be done tomorrow.
• For strength and endurance throughout the surgery.
• For a quick recovery and effective pain management.
• For peace that passes all understanding.

Sis. April is the heart and backbone of our school, and she carries the weight of countless responsibilities. She leads with wisdom, serves with humility, and pours her heart into our students and staff every day. We couldn’t imagine life without her.

We are believing that God has already gone before her, and we’re trusting Him to work mightily through every detail. We are believing the Lord for His hand of protection and His healing power.

Thank you for loving Sis. April and for standing with us in prayer during this critical time.

“The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” — James 5:16 KJV

Happy Birthday to Sis. Teresa!

You are truly one of the greatest blessings to so many lives. Your patience, kindness, and servant’s heart shine through in everything you do. You do not just teach lessons from books — you teach through love, prayer, compassion, and godly example.

Thank you for the countless hours you pour into your students and co-workers. You encourage, uplift, and care for people in a way that is rare to find today. So many are better because of your influence, your gentle spirit, and your faithfulness.

It would be hard to find someone any better. Your dedication, wisdom, and love for others make such a tremendous impact every single day. You are appreciated more than words can express.

We pray God blesses you abundantly this coming year with strength, joy, peace, and many precious moments with those you love.

Happy Birthday to an amazing teacher, co-worker, and friend! We love you!!!
