January 23 Head of School Update

by Les Rainey on January 23, 2025

Dear BACS Family,

What a wonderful experience this week. Growing up in South Georgia, it snowed very few times. However, each time it snowed, the excitement was the same. I remember staying up late to see the snow begin and couldn’t wait to play in it in the morning. Those are some of my favorite memories from my childhood. I’m glad our students (and faculty and staff) got to experience such a natural wonder (I hope you even participated in a few friendly snowball fights).

Remember our Annual State of the School Address and Preview Night on Monday evening, at 6:30 pm in the Worship Center. This one-hour event will provide a snapshot of the incredible happenings at BACS and a look ahead to what’s planned for the 2025-2026 school year. You will hear what’s happened this past year, some great initiatives for the next year, and have an opportunity to win various discounts on next year’s tuition and fees! Remember, you must be present to be eligible for the drawing. I hope you’ll plan to join us—you’ll leave encouraged and inspired by how God is working at BACS.

As I am preparing, I’m becoming more and more excited to share with you the wonderful things taking place on our campus and in the lives of our students. This evening is always a great opportunity to be reminded of how much God has blessed our school, so I hope you will make plans to attend. Also, if you know someone contemplating Christian education, please invite them!

It’s a great day to be a Bronco!
