Montgomery Academy welcomed Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville to meet with 5th Grade students. During his visit, Senator Tuberville spoke with the students about what a United States Senator does and how Congress works, including how bills are created, put into action, voted on, and how resolutions are made. Senator Tuberville also talked about representing the state of Alabama and how important it is that we have a voice in our nation’s capital. Students were also given the chance to ask the senator questions about his current work and, of course, about his career as a football coach. Thank you to Senator Tuberville and his staff for taking time to meet with our 5th Graders!

Understanding the process of planting is very important. When it comes to successful home gardening one must carefully plan and constantly pay attention. TEA Christian Academy Science Club students have spent time learning the processing steps, photosynthesis, weather conditions, soil composition, and so much more. TEA Academy has partnered with the Alabama Cooperative Extension Service, and the students are eager to learn and are applying what has been taught. Mr. Roosevelt Robinson (Urban Regional Extension Agent) has been leading the way and directing us with setting up raised flower beds, and establishing the irrigation system, as well as testing the soil. Mr. Robinson is a great role model for students and he has the tools to direct students interested in pursuing a career in science medicine, natural resources development, or landscaping to name a few career fields. Our students have learned the importance of selecting the right type of plants suitable for Alabama’s weather and soil. We are planting flower bulbs that will bloom in the spring, and fruit trees, vegetables and herbs that will be used to cook a healthy meal.
Yes! We let our students get their hands dirty so they can enjoy the fruits of their labor. We will share more details and photos in upcoming articles. Submitted by Mrs. V. Warren, Science Instructor.

Montgomery Academy senior Adrianne Lin has been named a Finalist in the 69th annual National Merit Scholarship Program.

Evangel Christian Academy’s kindergarten class recently held a special tea party. The students had recently learned about mealtime etiquette as part of the Manners of the Heart curriculum.

As we celebrate Black History Month, we want to acknowledge the great Dr. Carter G. Woodson, founder of Black History Month. Dr. Woodson was the second Black American to earn his Ph.D. degree from Howard University. He worked as a faculty member and later served as Dean of the College of Arts and Science. One of Dr. Goodson’s famous quotes says, “The oppressor has always indoctrinated the weak with his interpretation of the crimes of the strong.” “At this moment, then, the Negroes must begin to do the very thing which they have been taught that they cannot do.” “No man knows what he can do until he tries.”
The word “bias” is defined as a disproportionate weight in favor of or against an idea or thing, usually in a closed-minded, prejudicial, or unfair way. Biases can be innate or learned. People may develop biases for or against an individual, a group, or a belief. Retrieved from Wikipedia February 8, 2024.
There should not be bias when it comes to teaching; TEA staff realizes that students learn differently in many cases. To accommodate the needs of all students and help them reach their full potential while acquiring love and respect for learning, it is our top priority to build respect for our students in an environment that ensures students’ safety where they not only learn but feel safe, valued, and welcome. TEA supports the achievement of high standards in academic performance: “We seek to nurture the whole child socially, academically, spiritually, intellectually, and morally.”
TEA instills the “Try Harder” attitude into the minds of all our students and further lets them know that each student will reach their full potential as a person created in God’s image. Through hard work, students will graduate and become responsible, productive citizens with strong critical thinking and excellent academic skills, a spirit of charity, social justice, and a love of God and others. To accomplish these goals, students experience a rigorous, relevant, comprehensive, standards-based curriculum delivered in partnership with family and competent staff in a safe, nurturing environment, taught from a diverse culture depicting Black History and “the way of life for an entire society.” Thank You! Dr. Carter G. Woodson.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.” While January brought in the New Year, it was also the month of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s birthday. T.E.A. Christian Academy paused to remember this African American History Maker. The students wrote essays and poems, researched interesting facts, viewed his speeches, and included much of this information in the 2nd 9 Weeks Awards Program.
The students appreciate Dr. King’s demonstration of non-violence even when he and his followers were subject to brutality and abuse. They learned that “loving your neighbor as yourself” and “doing unto others as you would have them do unto you” are important principles all people should follow. They also learned the importance of remembering the past; it is equally important to follow in the footsteps of those trailblazers who made a difference that impacted all humanity. To keep MLK’s Dream alive, we must continue to move forward in pursuit of equality and justice for all.

It was a day filled with excitement and literary adventure as Sherri Springer, a proud alumna of our esteemed institution from the Class of 1990, graced the halls once again. This time, however, she returned not as a student but as a celebrated author, eager to share her delightful children’s book “Dorkle’s Day at School” with our kindergarten classes.
As Sherri Springer entered the room, she was greeted with enthusiastic applause and cheerful greetings from the eager young audience. Dressed in casual attire but radiating warmth and enthusiasm, she immediately connected with the students, instantly putting them at ease with her friendly demeanor.
With a twinkle in her eye, Sherri began to read “Dorkle’s Day at School,” a charming tale of friendship, acceptance, and the joys of being yourself. As she brought the lovable characters to life with her expressive voice and animated gestures, the children were completely captivated, hanging on to every word.
After the reading, Sherri took the time to engage with the students, answering their questions and sharing insights into her journey as a writer. She spoke passionately about the importance of imagination, creativity, and perseverance, inspiring the young minds before her to pursue their dreams with determination and enthusiasm. Thank you, Sherri, for reminding us all that sometimes, the most magical adventures can be found within the pages of a book.
