Did You Know...
The 2010 Gala is right around the corner! If you haven't already, PURCHASE YOUR GALA TICKET NOW.

The Gala is the number one way that Heritage raises money for the school year. Without a successful gala, we would not be able to keep tuition prices as low as they are. A good way to help keep tuition down is to BUY A CAR TICKET. The $50 donation that you make to the school will not only help students, but will also put your name in the drawing to win a free car!

Do you want to help sponsor the Gala? The less money we have to spend on the event, the more money we will have to go directly to the students. Don't wait,BE A GALA UNDERWRITER.

SHOUT OUT!

Greetings!

Happy April Fool's! The Taylor Times has a new look starting this week. No Foolin'! We figured that we should keep up with the Times. We hope that this change makes the Taylor Times easier and more accessible to you for all your news-related needs. Enjoy this week's issue. There are great things going on at Heritage.
 
Sincerely,

Aaron Dorman

As my wife and I look back on Aaron's educational journey, we are grateful to the Lord for bringing us to Heritage Christian Academy.  We were at a crucial juncture in life and the transition here to HCA was comfortable and safe.  While every teacher in some way contributes to the educational process of a child, there were several that stand out. 

Ms. Talley always will be remembered as the teacher who brought out the debater and orator in our son. Then she took it one step further and challenged Aaron's latent thespian side and created quite a character! (no pun intended!). 

We also appreciate Mr. Devine's kind words of encouragement and the opportunity to work in the computer lab.  This was a great way to practically guide and use Aaron's interest in computers that will probably continue as he pursues his career in the Army. 

Mrs. McKethan is another teacher that comes to mind that blessed Aaron by allowing him to help assist with her P.E. classes. Those little kids looked up to Aaron and he loved it! 

Finally, my wife and I want to thank Mrs. Collins.  Her support was invaluable and she constantly guided Aaron with many important decisions. 

These individuals (and more) all contributed to Aaron's time here at Heritage, and we believe that he has grown and gained many of the advantages needed to succeed in today's world.
