The staff, students and board of directors for Faith Christian Academy are elated to share they have been awarded a generous grant from the DEKKO Foundation to assist in the school’s art and music program.
“This grant will make it possible for us to go to enhance our Arts program,” said school administrator Larry Schmoekel.
The school received a similar grant last year and used a portion of the funds for an interesting learning project for students.
“Last year, after our students finished reading a particular book, we went to a movie and also a musical play – both adaptations of the book.”
“This way we were able to try to figure out why the makers of the movie and play did things the way they did, and compare that with our imaginative view of what the words said to us,” Schmoekel said. He said this inspired imaginative dialog between the students when comparing three versions of what was, essentially, the same story.
Faith Christian Academy is Whitley County’s only private, interdenominational Christian School.
