The King's Academy Raised Over $1,900 At Homecoming This Year, Private Schools Palm Beach Do Give Back

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) October 28, 2009 -- Though many people in the community consider private schools in Palm Beach to be rather “cliquish,” The King’s Academy separates itself from the stereotype. Already this year TKA has volunteered many students’ time and effort to help the community through services and fund raising.

More recently, was The King’s Academy’s Homecoming 2009, themed “A Magical Adventure.” This homecoming was not just another week of student festivities and school spirit. Of course, there was plenty of Powder Puff football, wacky theme days, and a good ol’ game of high school Friday night football. But, The King’s Academy’s homecoming incorporated an interesting element of fundraising into their festivities.

At lunchtime everyday during the week of homecoming, the cafeteria administered a “change drive” where all the students donated their pocket change. The proceeds from this “change drive” were to be donated to Livada Orphan Care in Romania.

In addition, the Powder Puff game was turned into an all-out-event that was held in the evening this year to watch the Junior and Senior Girls play powder puff, the young men cheer and to do a golf cart float parade. There was a bon fire where students could roast marshmallows and the Marching Lions performed at half time. A $1 entrance fee to come and watch all the festivities was charged in order to add to the students’ gift to Livada.
All monies from these events totaled at $1,907.68 and was immediately sent to Livada Orphan Care in Romania.

The King’s Academy is a nationally recognized private Christian school serving approximately 1,200 students from preschool through twelfth grade and is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, the Association of Christian Schools International, and the Florida Association of Christian Schools. The King’s Academy serves students and their families across Palm Beach County at its main campus at Belvedere Road and Sansbury’s Way in West Palm Beach and its satellite preschool campuses in Greenacres, Palm Beach Gardens, and Royal Palm Beach.
