MCS Students Part of Governor’s Parade

Montgomery Christian had the opportunity of being a part of Governor Kay Ivey’s Inauguration Parade on Monday, January 16th. Several of our students rode on the Scholarships for Kids float. Scholarships for Kids is a scholarship granting organization that helps students attend private schools. Scholarships for Kids is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization that serves as a state-approved Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO) under the Alabama Accountability Act of 2013. They work directly with qualified, nonpublic schools to offer scholarships and access to better education for celebrating Pioneer Week! They stepped back in time learning and playing just like students of the 1800s. And judging by the smiles and laughs, they had a marvelous time! Pioneer Week is just one of the many long standing traditions at Trinity!

Ceramics Projects at Montgomery Academy

Montgomery Academy students in Ms. Thompson’s Ceramics 1 class, explored using coils to build their first large-scale project. Students hand-rolled coils and pieced them together to create these imaginative pots, each over 10 inches tall! After their piece was dried and fired in the kiln once, students used different glazes to add color and finish their pieces. Each artist created a successful piece showing off their own personality in clay!

Refining Effective Communication Skills

Learning to communicate effectively is more than just knowing how to deliver a message, but understanding how to listen and respond to people on different levels, to include at school. Refining effective communication skills can help with being more approachable, and easier to communicate with; as well lead to being more open to new ideas that can in turn lead to innovative thinking and creative problem-solving. Talent Education & Art Christian Academy, Inc., conducted a workshop which was the lead-in for their Effective Communication class for this quarter. The workshop was led by Dr. Aaron Motley, the former Station Manager for Trinity Broadcasting Network, which is the largest Christian Network in the world. Motley was a Class Act! As he held the students attention, he entertained them, and he allowed them to get involved by asking questions and displaying examples.

Dr. Aaron Motley is the founder and pastor of Miracle Deliverance Temple of Christ, and the owner of AM Media Productions Motley applied data-driven strategies and realworld applications to help students gain an understanding in specific areas of communication. TEA Academy, Inc. is blessed to have partnered with Dr. Aaron Motley, and we are so excited!
