Grad to Grad
The Grad to Grad Program is one of the intentional ways that LCA works to unite our Upper School seniors with our Lower School students. Our desire and purpose is that the senior students will be godly spiritual and social influences who lead their kindergartners.
The idea was proposed by two former students, Kevin Allen and Rylee Atwell, and was launched in fall 2016. As seniors, they proposed this program to build upon relationships they had already established with staff-member kids. We are grateful for the vision of two students to create this opportunity at LCA.
