Letter from the President
A
s I look back over the past twelve months, it is evident that God continues to richly bless Mount Dora Christian Academy and Children’s Home.
Earlier this year we opened the new $2.8 million Thompson Science Building and Samuels Student Center; a state-of-the-art building that will serve students for decades. During the ceremonies, we announced that after 70 years as Christian Home & Bible School, our new names will be Mount Dora Christian Academy and Mount Dora Children’s Home. However, our corporate name will remain Christian Home & Bible School. The rebranding effort has progressed better than we could have imagined. The response from students, parents, staff, and the community has been overwhelmingly positive. A beautiful new sign leads into our campus, and another new one is being mounted on the Social Services building. As part of our marketing strategy, two new websites were launched to enhance our presence on the Internet. Enrollment rose by 13% this school year, due in large part to the efforts of our Admissions Office and the entire MDCA team. This coming spring, we will go through the process of reaccreditation by AdvancED. We anticipate positive evaluation marks to show that we are meeting the high standards of our accrediting bodies. We are anxious to learn ways we can improve to meet our own standards of excellence. Our mission of “Educating for Life and Eternity” is more than just a slogan at MDCA. The goal is to offer a curriculum rigorous enough to prepare students for college, yet personal enough to meet the needs of each individual child. Of greater importance is leading young people into a lifelong relationship with Jesus Christ, and every year many make that decision. It’s exciting to see
our students (and their families) become Christians. In the Children’s Home, the Single Parents Opting for Christ (SPOC) program continues to grow and impact the lives of women who face the challenges of raising a family in a single parent household. One of the mothers has four teenagers, and all have given their lives to Christ. Your support of this program is making an eternal difference for these women and their kids. Continue to pray that God will lead more of them into our care. Plans are in motion to begin construction on the new track and football complex right after the first of the year. The projected completion date is August of 2016; just in time for the start of the new school year. Fundraising efforts are continuing, and we are soliciting your help in this endeavor. Please contact me, or our VP of Development, Tim Deem, to contribute and make this dream a reality for MDCA and MDCH. The holidays are a special time for sharing love with friends and family. As another year draws to a close, let me extend seasons greetings from all of us. We treasure the friendships we enjoy with each of you and pray for a safe and prosperous new year. All God’s blessings, Dr. James E. Moore

T
he holiday season often prompts people to give money or property to charity. If you plan to give to Mount Dora Christian Academy & Children’s Home and want to claim a tax deduction, there are a few tips you should know before you give. For instance, you must itemize your deductions. Here are six more tips from the IRS that you should keep in mind: 1. Give to qualified charities. You can only deduct gifts you give to a qualified charity. Use the IRS Select Check tool to see if the group you give to is qualified. Both Mount Dora Children’s Home and Mount Dora Christian Academy (aka Christian Home & Bible School) qualify.
the item with your tax return.
The Joy of
Giving
2. Keep a record of all cash gifts. Gifts of money include those made in cash or by check, electronic funds transfer, credit card, and payroll deduction. You must have a bank record or a written statement from the charity to deduct any gift of money on your tax return. This is true regardless of the amount of the gift. The statement must show the name of the charity and the date and amount of the contribution. Bank records include canceled checks, or bank, credit union, and credit card statements. 3. Household goods must be in good condition. Household items include furniture, furnishings, electronics, appliances, and linens. These items must be in at least good-used condition to claim on your taxes. A deduction claimed of over $500 does not have to meet this standard if you include a qualified appraisal of
4. Additional records required. You must get an acknowledgment from a charity for each deductible donation (either money or property) of $250 or more. Additional rules apply to the statement for gifts of that amount. This statement is in addition to the records required for deducting cash gifts. However, one statement with all of the required information may meet both requirements. We send these statements to donors prior to January 31. 5. Year-end gifts. Deduct contributions in the year you make them. If you charge your gift to a credit card before the end of the year it will count for 2015. This is true even if you don’t pay the credit card bill until 2016. Also, a check will count for 2015 as long as you mail it in 2015.
6. Vehicle Donations. Special rules apply if you give a car, boat, RV, or motorcycle to charity. If you claim a deduction of more than $500 for a noncash contribution, you will need to file another form with your tax return. Use Form 8283, Noncash Charitable Contributions to report these gifts. We will send the donor Form 1098c as documentation for all vehicle donations over $500. We are grateful for each and every gift received from our donors and supporters. If you have any questions or need more information, please give us a call or consult your tax advisor.
Fall Food Drive Success Around 20 churches participated in this fall’s Tampa Bay Area/Southwest Florida Food & Supply Drive for Mount Dora Children’s Home. The food and supplies collected are distributed to grateful recipients including children in our homes, single moms and their children, and house parents. Thanks to all who participated!

Visits from Church Groups!
I
t’s always a blessing when church groups come to visit us at Mount Dora Children’s Home. The trips often involve work projects on campus and time interacting with our youth.

Several church youth groups visited us this fall, including Stuart Church of Christ; Timberlane Church of Christ, Tallahassee; Northwest Tampa Church of Christ; and Bell Shoals Church of Christ. Thanks for sharing your time and enthusiasm with us!
Palm Beach Dinner Attracts Enthusiastic Crowd
M
ore than 150 guests from churches throughout South Florida attended this fall’s Palm Beach Area Benefit Dinner at the Palm Beach Lakes Church of Christ. This was the first major event in South Florida since 2010 for the Children’s Home, and it was great to see a large and enthusiastic audience. The girls who live in the Thompson House helped welcome guests and serve food. They also participated in a question-andanswer session led by Dr. James E. Moore. One of the young ladies, Athena, who is from South Florida, spoke about her experience living at the Children’s Home. Athena is a junior at Mount Dora Christian Academy. Our thanks to the Palm Beach Lakes congregation for hosting this fall’s dinner and to volunteers at churches from Stuart to Miami along the Southeast coast who helped promote the dinner. Other benefit dinners in 2016 are planned for Montgomery, AL. (Feb. 4), Jacksonville, FL. (April 2) and Tampa, FL. (April 30). To get your church involved in helping promote one of these dinners, or for other information, please contact Dave Hogan at 352-383-2155, Ext. 259. WINTER WINTER2015 2015

Inaugural Football Team REUNION
O
n Friday, October 9, MDCA celebrated a decade of football and honored those who were the first participants of our inaugural football program. MDCA began its football in program the fall of 2005. Players, coaches, managers, and cheerleaders from the 2005 season were invited to the event, and many brought their families to enjoy a catered meal and fellowship in the dining hall. At the dinner, MDCA President James Moore reminisced about the highlights of that first season, telling the players, “You all were the foundation upon which our program was built, and your legacy continues.” He recounted that first season of 5 p.m. games in the extreme heat as a result of no lights on the field, and how the cheerleaders had to wear sunglasses to be able to see the field and the hill. Following Dr. Moore’s message, Inaugural Head Football Coach Lonnie Johnson spoke to his former players. Alumni joined the current families at the football game. In the message, Lt. Aaron Monkman, who rushed for over 1,000 yards in 2005, said, “I’d like to say that the 2005 team and this school gave me a lot of memories and lessons that have served me well in many aspects of my life. They were things that helped me in
10
college, helped when I was deployed to Afghanistan, helped fuel my need to become a leader and an officer, and most of all helped me as a father.” During half time guests were greeted at midfield by Athletic Director Jim Nichols and Dr. Moore, who presented each with a gift. After half time, some of the inaugural football cheerleaders did stunts on the sidelines and also participated in a music routine that is still performed by today’s cheerleaders. The 2005 participants who attended the reunion were: Coaches: Head Football Coach Lonnie Johnson, Assistant Coach Bill Hamilton, Head Cheer Coach Cindy Brown Players: Jon Bailey, Parker Brown, Lorenzo Durias, Robbie Gailey, Michael Kolozsvary, Jake Sikkema, Jordan Vanderberg, Cornelius Whitehead Managers: Josef Alleyne, Davis Brown Cheerleaders: Ashton Brewer, Kimi Hyde, Amanda (Van Dingstee) Nunez, Jennifer Stubbs, Anna Van Dingstee, Brittney Walls

Mount Dora Christian Academy Recognizes Duke TIP Qualifiers
M
ount Dora Christian Academy recognized 29 Duke TIP qualifying students. Duke University Talent Identification Program, better known as Duke TIP, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to serving talented youth in academics. Duke TIP strives to help students reach their highest potential. To be recognized as a Duke TIP qualifier, students must test above the 95% on a grade-level standardized achievement test for the school. Mount Dora Christian Academy honored 16 fourth and fifth grade students and 13 sixth and seventh grade students with medals and certificates for their outstanding performance on the most recent Measures of Academic Progress
(MAP) test that was administered in October. All 29 students have the opportunity to take an ACT prep test in the spring.

“It has been a privilege to watch this group of students rise to the top through hard work and dedication. I’m expecting big things from them as they continue their academic journey,” said Principal of Lower Schools Lori Hadley. Head of School, Dr. Brad Moser also expressed his excitement for the students’ achievements saying,“We are so proud of all of our students who qualified for this great recognition. As it stands, MDCA students perform at levels as high as anyone else in the nation, and this particular group of Duke TIP qualifiers is leading the way.”
Dual Enrollment
S
tudents seem to be graduating early, deciding majors even earlier, and finding their first real jobs all before they turn 21 years old. Dual Enrollment courses are essential for students to get ahead and experience college level courses before they walk across the stage and receive their high school diploma. Mount Dora Christian Academy offers several dual credit courses right on our campus through schools such as Harding University and Indiana Wesleyan University. In addition to campus-based courses, MDCA also has dual credit agreements with other schools such as University of Florida, Florida State University, University of Central Florida, Lake Sumter State College, and more.
5 Reasons High School Students Should Take Dual Enrollment Courses:
n Dual enrollment credit earns more GPA points n College courses taken as dual enrollment are more affordable n Taking dual enrollment courses provides a head start on earning college credits n Students explore college level topics with teachers they are familiar with and in small classes of their peers n Dual enrollment courses are rigorous academic courses that provide an introduction to college within the supportive atmosphere of high school WINTER 2015

We remain committed to our founding purpose as a Christian home and school; both in the classroom and around the kitchen tables of our residences. We are fortunate to operate in a very family oriented town that still conducts parades down Main Street, has diners where you can always find a familiar face, and is home to organizations that have been a part of the community for decades. As we begin our 71st year of ministry, our commitment to providing a Christian environment for children lives on. We are committed to the legacy of supporting as many families as possible who desire for their children to receive a Christian education. To achieve that goal, last year we provided $859,729 in scholarships and financial aid. To the left is our financial report for the fiscal year running from July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015.

Principal of Lower Schools Lori Hadley is excited about the addition of the VPK program at the MDCA Preschool and says, “I am so happy that we are able to offer VPK. It has been a help to our current families and will allow us to reach others who might not have considered our program as an option for their family. Any opportunity to strengthen the social, emotional and academic skills of the children in our community should be taken seriously. It will strengthen our present and our future.�
