LifeWise Academy-Ansonia

MORE. THAN. HALF. ♥️ 💛

More than 50% of eligible Ansonia students have parents who have said YES to LifeWise and lately, that number just keeps growing.

After Blessing of the Backpacks and Open House, we’ve had so many new students register, and we couldn’t be more excited to add new faces to all the familiar ones we already love.

God is moving in Ansonia. Kids are being given the opportunity to open the Bible, hear God’s Word and learn what His truth means for their lives and we are incredibly grateful for every parent who chooses to make LifeWise part of their child’s week.

📚 Grades 1–6 begin October 7
🎒 Kindergarten begins January 6

There’s still time to say YES!

And help us keep growing! Share this post with an Ansonia family. They may just be waiting for someone like you to invite them to LifeWise.

A prayer for the first day of school:

Good, good Father,

Today, we bring You the nerves, the excitement and all the feelings that come with a first day.

Please calm the hearts of our Ansonia students as they begin a new school year today. From those walking into their last first day to those excitedly awaiting their very first “first day,” we pray that Your hand would be over every one of them.

We pray for hope. For peace. For wisdom and discernment.

We pray that Your Spirit empowers them and Your love surrounds them. Give them courage when things feel hard, kindness when someone needs it and confidence in who You created them to be.

And through every classroom, every hallway, every friendship, every challenge and every victory, remind them of this: they are Your children. They are deeply loved. They were created with purpose, with gifts and talents that are uniquely theirs.

You are a good, good Father who loves His children. Keep them close today and protect them throughout this school year.

We place them in Your hands and we praise Your perfect name.

In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

What a beautiful way to begin a new school year.

Tonight, more than 50 students from local school districts joined us for our Blessing of the Backpacks: sharing some treats, spending time together and, most importantly, being covered in prayer as they head into a new school year.

A special thank you to Ansonia- Fort Recovery United Methodist Church and God Shaped Ministries for joining us and praying over our students, their families, teachers and the year ahead.

Each student who attended also received a backpack keychain blessing card from our LifeWise program. A small reminder they can carry with them all year long that God is with them wherever they go.

As students across our community head back to school, this is what we hope every one of them knows: you are known, you are loved, and you are prayed for. May God guide your steps, give you courage and remind you that He is with you every step of the way.

What a special night with our community. We’re excited to see everyone tomorrow at Open House!

This is for our students. Our families. Our community.

We want every student to know there are people in this community who see them, support them and want them to have a great start to the school year.

Whether your child attends LifeWise or not, they are welcome. Whether they attend Ansonia or another school district, they are welcome.

This is simply a chance for our community to come together, love on our students and remind them that they have a whole lot of people cheering them on.

All students. All schools. One community. ❤️💛

We saw a whole lot of LifeWise Red this week!

We loved seeing SO many LifeWise shirts around the fair this week, not just from Ansonia, but from chapters all across the county… and even across the state line in Indiana!

Thank you to everyone who sent in photos and helped us fill our feed (and the fair!) with LifeWise red. We loved seeing our students, families, teachers and friends representing their chapters.

And now for our winner…

🏆 Congratulations, Joshua K.! 🏆

We’ll send you a DM to get your prize headed your way!

Thanks for playing along and reminding us just how BIG the LifeWise community really is. ♥️💛

LifeWise Ansonia takes a community: Teachers. Volunteers. Donors. Prayer warriors. Parents. People willing to step in where they can.

And right now, we need someone who can drive the bus. ♥️💛

We’re looking for a primary driver on Wednesdays, October–March. $17/hour. CDL with passenger endorsement required.

Can’t commit to every Wednesday? That’s okay.
We can work together to fill the gaps.

You don’t have to teach the lesson to help make LifeWise happen. Sometimes, you just have to drive the bus.

Know someone? Tag them or share this post. Our driver may already be right here in our community.

💛 Let’s help our LifeWise neighbors! ❤️

Our friends at LifeWise Academy Greenville Ohio are getting ready for the school year and could use a little help stocking up!

Paper towels. Glue sticks. Printer paper. It doesn’t cost much to add an extra item to your cart, but the gratitude goes a long way.

A little from us can mean a lot to them. 🫶

Greenville Lifewise is looking for donations from our supply list as we are gearing up for another school year! If you are able to donate any items from our list there will be a drop box in front of our building. Message us for the address or if you have any questions. We can arrange for item pick up if needed too! We are grateful for each and everyone’s support of this wonderful program that God has put in place for Greenville area students! We want to thank you in advance!
Have a blessed and fantastic weekend!

“NO PERFECT PEOPLE ALLOWED.”
Good thing Jesus never required perfect. 😉❤️

And this crew definitely understood the assignment. Fair food, rides, rabbits, sibling shenanigans and plenty of LifeWise red!

📸 Keep sending us your fair pictures! We’re loving seeing our LifeWise students out having fun and turning the fairgrounds RED! 💛 ♥️
