"Aim to Serve" Gets Good Start

Good food, great testimonies, and fun door prizes marked the kick-off dinner held on Monday, April 15, 2013 for DPCA's Aim to Serve spring fundraising event.  The DPCA school board prepared a spaghetti dinner for all, and Jake White, Hawk White, Becca Wade, and Keely Campbell each briefly shared things they were thankful for and appreciative of as DPCA students.  Parent Gene McManamay shared his testimony of the impact DPCA has had in his family, mentioning the support the school community provides, the deep positive impact of Christian teaching on students and parents, the help the financial aid program has been, and the importance of developing our students' Biblical world view.

Aim to Serve has two components this year: a Clay Shoot team competition and fundraiser on May 5th, and a Serve-a-Thon for DPCA students on May 13th.  During the Serve-a-Thon, students will be out in the community collecting cans for the Arkansas Valley Christian Mission.  Participants in the events are sending emails to friends and family to solicit sponsorships, and all donations can be made directly online or through the mail.  The focus of this year's event is the Tuition Assistance Fund, which is used each year to provide financial aid to families who desire a Christian education for their children but need help with tuition payments. If the fundraising goal of $25,000 is exceeded, a secondary goal will be the purchase of "smart boards" for some DPCA classrooms.
