Grow: We will GROW together as a group of parents, Grandparents and other adults who truly LOVE Brice Christian Academy and what BCA stands for. We will all grow together, learning about our past and our future. We want to try new things this year, and we can’t do it alone. We need YOU to be able to grow and become the school support system that BCA deserves!
Serve: We will SERVE GOD by serving our school! We will come together as a PTF and show God that we are here to glorify Him. What better way to do that, than by getting involved in Brice Christian Academy and helping our kids have the best educational environment possible!

FUNDRAISING
Here at BCA, we try to keep tuition down, so we then in turn need to rely on fundraising to supplement some of the costs of tuition. Please review the fundraisers below, and see how you can help support BCA.
Order your spring bedding flowers and hanging baskets in time for Mother's Day!!! Order forms will go home near the end of March so watch for further details.
GoodSearch is an Internet search engine with a simple concept and unique social mission. GoodSearch enables you to help fund any of hundreds of thousands of charities or schools through the simple act of searching the Internet and Brice Christian Academy is one of them!
The company was founded by a brother and sister team who lost their mom to cancer and wanted to find an easy way for people to support their favorite causes.
It's simple. You use GoodSearch.com like any other search engine (we've partnered with Yahoo! to ensure great results), but each time you do, money is generated for your favorite cause (in your case, it's BCA).
Last year search engines generated close to $6 billion in revenue from advertisers. Think about what BCA could do for our kid's with even a fraction of that money!
The company's goal is to direct as much money to the organizations as possible, so we're not spending a lot on advertising. That's why we need your help in spreading the word!
We hope that not only will you use GoodSearch as your main search engine from here on out, but will also pass this message on to your friends and family. The more people who use this site, the more money will go to your favorite cause...BCA!!!
Visit www.goodsearch.com today and choose Brice Christian Academy as your Charity of choice!
To order, please return the order sheet to the office by Wednesday, February 20th OR Call Nichele Despas at 614-834-8146 or visit www.MarketDay.com and place your order on line using account #21536. Thank you so much for your support!
