Another incredible year at LifeWise Academy Arcanum has come to an end, and we are overwhelmed with gratitude for the volunteers who made it all possible.

Because of your time, energy, prayers, encouragement, snack donations, bus rides, check-ins, and smiling faces, students were able to hear about Jesus each week in a loving and welcoming environment. What may have seemed like “small” acts of service made an eternal impact.

This year was filled with growth, laughter, meaningful conversations, and countless moments that reminded us why this mission matters so much. None of it could happen without a community willing to step up and serve.

To every volunteer: thank you for showing up faithfully, loving our students well, and being the hands and feet of Christ. You are deeply appreciated, and the impact you’ve made reaches far beyond what you may ever see.

❤️💛❤️💛

Help us grow our team!

✨ LifeWise 2026 ✨ We had an incredible last day of Monday classes! We spent the day focusing on all the ✨ joy ✨ we got to share with these students throughout the year. We are so thankful for each and every student who attended and praise God for the opportunity to speak life into them!

All the 4th grade students went home with their own Bibles. Huge thank you to Tom Kessler for taking the time to engrave every single Bible with the student’s name! We will miss our 6th grade class greatly, but are so thankful they can continue learning during our Thursday class!

✨ Self-Control ✨
Students learned the 9 different Fruit of the Spirit attributes 🍎🍊🍓🍑 We studied Paul’s letter found in the Book of Galatians chapter 5. Paul was telling believers in the Galatian church how to recognize that God was working in someone’s life

The Holy Spirit gives us the power to control our words, actions, reactions, and choices.

✨ Confidence ✨
Students learned that we can have confidence and trust in God’s goodness no matter what. We played a fun game trying to listen to directions and draw a picture with their eyes closed. It turned out to be much more difficult than when they tried again with their eyes open! We can't see Jesus, but we can have faith and confidence in what the Bible says about Him!

We had the opportunity to thank the incredible staff at Arcanum for all they do for students throughout the year with some Root Beer Floats! We are so appreciative of them!

*Parents, please check your email for a note from our Director regarding next week’s class and our video! Don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions.

✨Easter Party✨ Yesterday, students got to celebrate Holy Week. The last few weeks have been spent teaching the kids about this week, and hearing them be able to relay all they’ve learned is so sweet.

Ask your kiddo to show you the hand motions they learned to help them remember that “Jesus was buried and rose on the third day, according to the Scriptures.”

We missed 5th/6th grade yesterday, but look forward to celebrating with them after break! Be blessed ❤️💛

As we near the end of the school year, we are preparing for one of our favorite traditions—gifting all the 4th grade students with their own Bibles before they graduate to Middle School! Would you prayerfully consider helping us by making a donation?

We have such an incredible community of supporters, thank you!

✨ LOVE ✨ Such a fun Monday at LifeWise! Our teachers got creative and students learned our Bible story through a play. Easter lessons began as we heard about Jesus’s ride through Jerusalem, the Last Supper, and His time of prayer and arrest at Gethsemane. Jesus loved us all so much that He willingly gave His life for us. Additionally, Jesus knew Judas planned to betray Him to the religious leaders, and yet He loved even Judas and washed his feet and shared communion with him. Let us all follow the example Jesus set for us and love others better! ❤️💛

✨ Wholeheartedness ✨ Monday classes were able to learn about Paul’s journey spreading the Gospel and how he wholeheartedly committed to his journey. Between the paper bag video, game, and Forrest Frank music, it was a blast!

Thursday classes have been so fun with a balance between learning and getting a break from the heaviness of a school ✨
