END OF YEAR MESSAGE from your OCPA president

Dear Ontario Christian School Parents and Volunteers,

On behalf of the entire Ontario Christian Parents Association (OCPA) Board, we want to extend our deepest gratitude and appreciation for your incredible support throughout this past school year.

Your generosity, time, and commitment have made a lasting impact on our students, teachers, and school community. Because of you, we were able to provide meaningful grants and resources that supported field trips, the Walk-Through California program, teacher appreciation luncheons, student incentives, and so many other enriching experiences that strengthened our Christ-centered education.

We are especially thankful for:

  • Your faithful participation in fundraisers and the Scrip program
  • Your willingness to volunteer countless hours at events and behind the scenes
  • Your consistent encouragement and prayer for our teachers and staff
  • Your generosity in giving financially and through donations
  • Your advocacy and partnership in raising courageous Christian leaders

This year would not have been the same without your active involvement. You have helped create a vibrant, supportive Knight community where families, teachers, and students grow together academically, spiritually, and relationally. Your partnership reminds us that Christian education truly thrives when parents step forward with open hearts and willing hands.

As we close out this school year, we want you to know how valued and appreciated you are. Thank you for investing in our children and in the mission of Ontario Christian School. We are excited about what God has in store for the coming year and look forward to continuing this important work together.

May the Lord richly bless each of you and your families for your faithfulness and sacrifice.

In Christ’s love,

Amy Etienne
