Day 1: Let There Be Light

Today marked our very first day at Little Light Academy, and what a beautiful beginning it was!

Each morning before class, our community gathers together in unity — to pray, say the pledge, share our affirmation, and begin with a short devotion. These moments center us and remind us of our purpose:

Our mission is simple — to nurture the light inside each person.
We believe that God created every individual with purpose, with potential, and with a light that can shine brightly in the world.

The scripture that continues to guide our journey is Psalm 119:105:

“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.”

This verse reminds us that even when we can’t see the full path ahead, God’s word — through scripture, prayer, or quiet promptings — lights each step along the way.

Our first day was filled with laughter, teamwork, and creativity. We began with team-building games to help everyone get to know one another, followed by a special project:

“My Best Self Shield” — a reflection of each child’s unique gifts and heart.
Students filled their shields with:

Things I love, What I’m good at, What helps me learn How I can help others

It was a day full of excitement, nerves, and joy — a beautiful blend of new beginnings and growing friendships. We ended our first day together sharing homemade popcorn, a simple treat that brought smiles to every face.

The light here is already shining so bright. ✨
