Special Awards

Excellence in Education

Crawford Christian Academy has an amazing group of students who are creative and gifted communicators. It has been a great honor to participate in the Beautiful Balance Inspirations competition and we are so proud of our students who went on to place. Our students have been encouraged and have become more motivated to continue writing because of this opportunity. Some, in particular, have made decisions to continue creative writing on their own, outside of school as a result of winning this competition. We are delighted to see a love for writing and honing that skill in our students. We hope to see our creative writing class expand and more students have the opportunity to become excellent writers as they work towards graduation.

I am so glad that our students at Crawford Christian Academy participated in the writing competition. It is a great experience for them, one in which they will look back on with pride in their adult years however God decides to use them in His Kingdom.
