πΊπΈβ€οΈπ€π BCA PATRIOT DAY 2026 β€οΈπ€ππΊπΈ
What an incredible day at Bethel Christian Academy as our school came together to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and honor the first responders and military members who serve and sacrifice for our communities and our country. πΊπΈ
Our Patriotic Spirit Day was a HUGE success! Our students, teachers, and staff went all out in their red, white, and blue! πΊπΈπ Congratulations to Mrs. Ingramβs 2nd Grade and Mrs. Sterlingβs 8th Grade for winning our Patriotic Spirit Contest and celebrating with an ice cream party! π¦π
One of the most incredible sights of the day was the North Lenoir Volunteer Fire Department arriving with their ladder truck and raising a huge American flag over our campus. ππΊπΈ Seeing Old Glory flying high above BCA made an already special day even more meaningful.
The BCA Booster Club was honored to host a spaghetti dinner for our first responders, military members, and their families. πβ€οΈ A special thank you to the Kinston Fire Department, North Lenoir Volunteer Fire Department, Lenoir County Sheriffβs Office, New Bern Fire Department, New Bern Police Department, and our active and retired military members who joined us for dinner and participated in our 9/11 recognition ceremony.
A HUGE shoutout to Sheriff Jackie Rogers for joining us and volleying the ceremonial first serve of our Varsity Volleyball game! ππΊπΈ
The competition continued throughout the evening! π₯πβ½οΈ Our Trojans and the New Bern Christian Academy Mustangs battled it out on the court and field with some intense competition. Congratulations to our Varsity Soccer team on a nail-biting 3β2 TROJAN WIN! ππβ½οΈ
A very special THANK YOU to the Law Office of Roy A. Dawson for sponsoring our First Responder & Military Appreciation Dinner and Patriot Day games! We are also incredibly grateful for their continued support of BCA Athletics as a Spring Season Booster Club Sponsor! π
And finally, a HUGE thank you to our Booster Club volunteers, BCA PTF, SLI, Pastor Taylor, Pastor Brandon, Athletic Director Ashley Stroud, faculty, staff, and everyone who helped decorate, serve, organize, and make today possible.

Today was about so much more than sports. It was about remembrance, gratitude, service, community, and honoring those who answered the call.
πΊπΈ WE REMEMBER. WE HONOR. WE ARE GRATEFUL. πΊπΈ
