“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.”
Colossians 3:23
Mrs. Katie Bonnette, Lower School Success Center teacher and PSIA coach, shared, “All of our students lived out Colossians 3:23 this year as they prepared for the PSIA academic competition. They worshiped the Lord with their academic talents by coming to school early, staying at school late, missing lunch with friends, and practicing at home. We are so proud of the way they each represented Legacy Christian Academy with God-honoring character and God-given talents. God has gifted our students academically and we were so pleased to be able to celebrate and stretch their gifting at PSIA this year.”
