Fifth Grade Students Perform in Annual Musical

A long-standing tradition at SCA is the 5th grade musical. Students have the opportunity each year to try out for the production and perform on the stage through singing, dancing and acting. This year, fifth grade students performed Danny & The Shacks. This biblical production recounts the adventures of Daniel (Danny, as he is called in the 21stcentury version of the story) and his bandmates, The Shacks (better known to Bible scholars out there as Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego). The crew embark on a roller-coaster-thrill-ride of experiences as they encounter King Neb, his golden statue, some crazy Babylonians, the fiery furnace, and of course, the infamous lions’ den. Through it all, the powerful truth of God’s Word and the importance of being obedient and faithful to His teaching comes through loud and clear in a storyline so fantastic and faith affirming, it could only come from the Word of God. What a wonderful tradition to carry on at SCA as we continue to fulfill our mission to inspire students to achieve their God-given potential.

Senior Luke Fleming auditioned and was selected to the All-District string orchestra. District orchestra is not divided by school size, and SCA auditions in a very competitive district. The district orchestra performance in January was conducted by Dr. John Rutland from the University of Central Missouri.

Elementary Talent Show Lets Students Shine on Stage

Two Core Values at Summit Christian Academy are Igniting Leadership & Cultivating Community! Both of these values are critical to the mission of SCA- to inspire students to achieve their God given potential! One way we do this is through the Elementary Talent Show. Students have the opportunity to lead and share their talents on the stage of SCA through song, performance, musical instruments, dance, theatre, movement, gymnastics and many other ways of showing their God given abilities. As part of the elementary talent show, the students learn the importance of cultivating community. Through the collection of Mommy Bags at the talent show, students will be donating these items to Resource Health (formally Rachel House). These items will be blessing new moms who chose life for their babies! We are so thankful for the opportunity to continue sharing God’s light at SCA through the incredible partnership with students and families!
