Talk of the Town - Whitley County

By Jennifer Zartman Romano

Faith Christian Academy, Whitley County’s only non-denominational, faith-based private school, is hosting two upcoming fundraisers to support the growing school, according to school administrator Larry Schmoekel.

On Saturday May 2, Faith Christian Academy invites the community to join them from 10:00 a.m.- 2:00 p.m. in the Wal-Mart parking lot for some great Nelson’s Port-A-Pit Chicken.  The price of ½ of a chicken is $ 5.50 in advance, $ 6.00 if purchased the day of the sale. 

“We will also have a bake sale, so you may be asked, ‘Would you like a cake with that chicken,” Schmoekel said.

All proceeds will benefit Faith Christian Academy.  If you need more information, or would like to purchase advance sale tickets, call the school at 248-4872.

Two days later, on May 4, the teachers, staff, board of directors and administrator of Faith Christian Academy will be working at the Columbia City McDonald’s from 5-8 p.m. to raise funds for the school.

Schmoekel said that 20% of all sales will benefit Faith Christian Academy.  That is 20% of all sales – even the drive-thru.

“So come on out, enjoy McDonald’s and see us work,” Schmoekel said.
