Please join me in welcoming our new teacher who will lead us into the 2026-2027 school year as we welcome 6th-8th grade 👏🏻

✨How did you get connected to LifeWise Academy?

I got connected to LW through my church. My nieces attend the West Milton program and LOVE it, so I knew a little already. When I stopped at their information table I met the director at Miami East and God said “Christ in schools, this is your next ‘yes’”.

✨ Favorite story in the Bible? And what character attribute does it portray?

One that has really gripped my heart lately has been the story of the Shunammite woman in 2 Kings 4. It is a beautiful picture of faith in God’s provision and protection even in disappointment.

✨ What do you think will be the most exciting part of your job?

I think the most exiting part of my job will be seeing that “Jesus connection” go from a lesson plan to a lesson lived out.

✨What’s your idea of a perfect day?

A perfect day would start with meaningful time in prayer, worship, and the Word. A good swim or workout, an already clean house (even better if I didn’t have to do it!) then spent with my dog and the people I love most on or near a body of water, with the sun shining all day long!

We are so happy to have you on our team and looking forward to how God will use you in the lives of our students, Ashley! 🍎📚✨

That’s a wrap on our first school year!
Thank you to everyone who prayed, planned, gave and supported our program.
God is going to do mighty things in this school district, and we are so grateful to be here in the midst of such a wonderful community, sharing the gospel with public school students (and a couple homeschoolers, too 😉

Our 5th grade class went out with a bang on Monday! What a beautiful year it has been here at LifeWise Miami East.

We are steadily working on planning our summer and would love to be a part of local community events so we can get new enrollments, recruit volunteers + staff and partner with those who would like to financially sow into our program.

Do you know of a local community event that would be interested in letting us set up? If so, please comment or message us— thank you!

Hello, LifeWise Miami East Family!

We are currently in need of a volunteer who can help us with a very specific need: purchasing and maintaining a bus for our program.

As many of you know, during our Evening of Impact, God made a way for us to raise— and for you to give!— enough money to purchase our very own bus (a BIG thank you to LifeWise Academy Bradford OH for lending us their bus as we launched this year)!

Now comes the fun part: finding and purchasing the bus, getting it painted + wrapped, and then maintaining our bus (safety inspection, routine maintenance, etc).

This person would be a volunteer with our program— one who maintains the bus and coordinates these inspections, etc.

Is this person you? Or do you know someone that can do this? Please comment, DM or email us at [email protected]

You all did it! We raised enough funds for our very own bus— because God provided, through you!

What a night it was— the very first Evening of Impact for LifeWise Miami East. And this is just the beginning.

Thank you to Johnathan Newman For State Representative for coming to speak to us all about the importance of LifeWise, thank you to The Light on the Hill for hosting + catering, thank you to sip coffee co. for providing the coffee, thank you to EVERY SINGLE VOLUNTEER who used their time + talents to put this event together, and a very special thank you to Mike Havenar for stepping in as the Lord led to help us raise the funds we needed (in about 3 minutes!) for our bus.

What an honor to share this night with each of you ✨
