Snow days pile up

Madison Academy had been effected by all the ice, sleet and snow that has hit the southern states.  Because of the terrible road conditions and unusually low temperatures combined with the desire to keep our families and young drivers safe, school was again closed March 5 and 6.  During the week of February 16 the same wintery conditions of ice on the roads with snow as a top layer made travel hazardous.  The Metro government declared an emergency and asked people not to be out on the roads and asked business in the area to use a skeleton staff.  This latest storm comes one day before our students and staff leave on the Madison Global Missions project in Panama.  We are praying for safe travels, no injuries on the work-site and God’s blessing for those being served and our team.

Sacred Revolution

Pastor Bernie Anderson and his wife Christina shared with the Madison Academy family thoughts on sexual purity during a weekend seminar, February 27 and 28.  The series began at Madison Academy for chapel as Pastor Anderson spoke to the students and staff and shared some of his story and how pornography impacted his life and those he loved.  The next meeting was at Riverside Chapel were he continued his dialog especially for teens and shared more of his story.  He spoke at Madison Campus Church for both 1st and 2nd services.  In the afternoon there were concluding meetings with adults and then meetings with teens.  Mrs. Anderson spoke with the ladies and Pastor Anderson spoke with the young men.  The response has been positive.  We appreciated hearing Pastor Anderson’s journey, and seeing God’s grace at work.

Facelift coming soon

The Learning Complex which houses six classrooms, fine arts, fitness room, gymnasium, and lunch room will get a much needed facelift in the next two months.  Funds raised and matched in December will be used to re-sheet the metal siding, replace the awnings, paint the trim, and add some exterior lighting.

In addition, a generous donor is providing for the installation of new energy efficient lighting inside the gymnasium.  Volleyball players in the community will be glad to know we will eliminate the bright spots and dark corners.  The savings on our NES bill will help the operating budget, too.

In coming months, the Academy will be working with an agency to develop a Master Plan for campus facilities and property.  Your prayers in this process are truly appreciated.  In the meantime, we must maintain and protect the physical assets we have.  Thank you to the many donors who are helping ensure we can!

Valentine’s banquet includes hockey game

Students, friends and staff of Madison Academy enjoyed a Valentine’s banquet planned by the Student Association officers. This special evening started at Landers Plaza in a meeting room that was transformed into an elegant dining experience. Guests sat at tables for eight and started eating eating salad, pasta and sauce, vegetable, rolls.  The dessert bar had many choices: brownies, vanilla or chocolate pudding, and cake with options for toppings.  The SA sponsors announced the winner of this year’s courtesy contest.  Dustin Battenberg was named the king and Abbye Waterhouse queen. Later in the evening, Mr. Jamieson emceed two games.  Students were invited to the front and given a word and ten seconds to sing a song with the word in the lyrics. Next students and staff were asked to participate in a game that involved voting with a shoe.  Contestants gave each other one shoe. Then they were asked a question and with the competitors back to back they responded by lifting the shoe of the person they thought best answered the question.  After the meal concluded the next event was to attend the Nashville Predators hockey game.  The Predators defeated the Winnipeg Jets 3-1. During the game, Dustin kept his crown on and attracted attention of the cameras including some time on the jumbo-tron along with his friends sitting around him. After the game each student made it safely home.
