Why Attend the MACSA Convention?

Barbara Williams, MACSA President
(Lehigh Christian Academy ~ Allentown, PA)

Perhaps in this economic climate your school is struggling due to decreased enrollment or loss of other financial resources. You might be thinking, “We just won’t attend the convention this year. It is one place we can save some dollars.”

I would like to suggest that this may be the very year you should attend. What is the value of the MACSA convention? Of course, there are the workshops where the faculty can be taught best practices in education and how to effectively teach each student. There is also the encouragement we receive when we gather as a large group of Christian educators and worship our God. We can tangibly see that we are not in this very important task alone. There are others standing with us. Finally, but certainly not least, is the fellowship individual faculties can have. The convention is an opportunity for them to get to know one another on a deeper level, be students together, and have fun together (maybe even shop together).

So…if you are still considering attendance at the convention in November, I would ask that you think about the value of learning together, worshiping God together, and having fun together. 

I hope to see you all in November.
