BCCA Scrapbooking Fundraiser: Jul 23, 2009

B.C. Christian Academy

1019 Fernwood Avenue

Port Coquitlam, B.C.

WELCOME!

B.C. Christian Academy is a non-profit private school that only receives 50% of the operational funding and no capital funding given to public schools by the government. This makes it extremely difficult to offer certain elective courses to the high school students. Automotive is one of those courses. However, last spring a group of students were so eager to have an automotive elective they convinced Mr. Jarvie, the principal, to teach the class and pooled their own money to purchase a 1991 Firebird in desperate need of restoration (see picture below). The students have provided their own tools and with some help from the automotive department at Langley Christian School proceeded to start the restoration process. Because teenagers have limited funds, and because they have taken ownership of this class and are so eager and enthusiastic to make something out of this vehicle, and mostly, because my own son is a part of this class, I have decided to organize this fun day as a way to help them raise a small part of the funds they will require. These students have a dream – to restore and race this car in the High School Drag Racing Competition at Mission Raceway in June 2010. Although they may have set the bar high I believe that when our children have a dream we should, as adults, encourage and empower them as best we can. Life will throw them enough curve balls in the years to come but if we can encourage and help them reach that dream, the sense of accomplishment that follows will give them confidence to face whatever curve balls life may throw at them. 1 Thessalonians 5:11 tells us to "Therefore encourage one another and build each other up".
Come and join us in this fun-filled day and help some of our students realize a dream!
