"Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success" - Henry Ford
The above poster hangs in OCA's teachers lounge. It reminds me of the purpose of LegacyWalk...working together to build the legacy of OCA. To succeed in reaching the $100,000 goal, we need everyone on the boat to row...that includes all of our staff, teachers, parents and students. This week, we extended the turn-in date until Tuesday. Approximately 35% of our students turned-in LegacyWalk sponsorship donations. We are so grateful to everyone who contributed. The student's who reached their $50 weekly goal will be rewarded with a LegacyWalk bracelet and donuts tomorrow (Friday) morning. "Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment." 1 Corinthians 1:10 Our prayer is that OCA students and parents will be like-minded and view this "friendraiser" as a way to advance God's kingdom. We pray everyone will do their part to bring in the needed funds with a spirit of gratitude, humility and joy. We pray that God will reveal to them the vital role OCA plays in our community. We pray all will know what a rare privilege it is to be a part of the awesome work God is doing in the lives of students through the ministry of OCA...to be a part of something much bigger than themselves or their family. Tuition only covers 85% of the total cost to educate each student. Therefore, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap. We are not asking you to give to this fundraiser as we know the tuition and fees you pay are already a large investment. However, we are asking you to reach out and invite others to support this worthwhile ministry. Next Monday, April 1st is our next turn-in date. Donations mailed in, turned in or placed online by the end of day on Monday, will count toward each student's turn-in total for Week 2. The goal for Week #2 is $75 per student. However, we base weekly prizes on the cumulative total. The cumulative total for Week #2 is $125 (Week 1 and 2) and the prize for students who reach this goal is a raffle bag pull. Don't miss out...we have lots of great prizes! If you haven't done so already, please check out the resources on the LegacyWalk portal. We've made asking friends and family to give simple...you can use social media or email to direct them to this URL to watch the video and donate: www.omahachristianacademy.org/legacywalk Please contact us at 402-399-9565 if you have any questions.
