Welcome to a new school year. We're excited that our returning students are back while we receive our new students with open arms to the Cougar Pride experience "where only the best is good enough." We recently graduated 29 students who have gone on to become trailblazers in their respective new universities and colleges. Our reliable Adventist higher educational system absorbed a majority of our graduates, while many others chose to enroll in the University of California system.

For the 21 that make up our current senior class, the expectations are high and we know they will be amply rewarded with a great senior experience. Of the 33 who graduated from our 8th grade class, 31 decided to stay on here at Glendale Adventist Academy. Pastor Anthony Pascal is our new bible teacher and that promises to be a great experience.

We have two kindergarten classes this school year and one transitional kindergarten class. Mrs. Rayan Abdul Karim and Mrs. Remilyn Hale will be our kindergarten teachers and Mrs. Ivanelle Perez will be our T-K teacher.

We currently feature one fourth grade class. Mrs. Jessica Czajka, formerly a fourth grade teacher, has been asked to join the sixth grade team. Ms. Sandra Candelario, formerly a sixth grade teacher, has been asked to join the eighth grade class team.

Stay tuned for more updates in our upcoming posts.

Israel Olaore, Principal.

A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens is perhaps one of the most popular stories of the Christmas season. Dickens published his novella in the late fall of 1843. Meant as a quick means to make a little money, it turned out to be arguably his most popular piece of fiction.

Over the years there have many adaptations for the stage and screen, both musical and a straight play. Marrying fidelity to Dickens' words with open, simple staging and costuming, McDonough's script is fresh and highly performable. A Christmas Carol has been one of the favorite presentations on Christmas programs for more than a century. Now, Jerome McDonough's adaptation offers an exciting and lively style.

Glendale Academy Drama Department is proud to present this holiday classic. We invite you to be a part of our performance.

Performances:
November 8, 10, 15, & 17 from 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

The first two weeks of the school year have gone by like a whirlwind. As a new principal I was overjoyed to discover GAA has a wonderful faculty focused on starting the year with a united vision of educational excellence with Christian values. Our students are warm and friendly. This is indeed a lovely Christian family.

A parent shared with me at Back to School Night how excited she felt that her child was learning about the Armor of God in his classroom. Another parent testified to the fact that her child was sharing the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ with her family
members. Yet another parent told me that her child is considering being baptized in the very near future.

Our goals for the upcoming year include:
 Expanding our enrollment through the marketing of our school to constituent churches and the general community. Our home rooms will be adopting and visiting churches to showcase the talents of our students.
 Increasing our endowment base through reactivating our Alumni Association. We are starting a chapter of the association for the Glendale Adventist Academy campus and the Greater Glendale area as a catalyst for our fundraising drive for the year.
 Building strong bridges with Glendale Adventist Medical Center (our sister organization) and other corporate organizations and municipalities in the area for top of mind name recognition.
 Diversifying our strategy for recruiting international students by working with agencies with a strong track record of success in the field.

With the Holy Spirit as our Divine Helper, victory is assured. Our Superintendent
of Schools, our School Board and committee members, our faculty as well as
Home and School Association are all behind us for success. Our vision is to
make our school the best in the region in terms of spirituality, academic
excellence, and financially viability.
