GHCA Harvest Festival celebrates autumn

7 years ago

HOULTON, Maine — The Greater Houlton Christian Academy held its annual Harvest Festival and Auction Saturday, Oct. 7, drawing a good crowd to the school.

Featuring ideal weather conditions for children’s games, youngsters tried their hand at such activities as putting a golf ball into the mouth of a jack o’lantern, sticking their hands into a gooey-filled bucket in search of a prize, and getting their faces painted.

While the children enjoyed games outside, adults could partake of the school’s annual auction, which serves as one of the primary fundraisers for the year.

The auction raised more than $11,000 for the school.

GHCA has provided a Christian education to students from Aroostook County, Maine, New Brunswick, Canada and event overseas students for 33 years. It is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) and the Association of Christian Schools International(ACSI).

GHCA also has full “State Approved” status by the Maine Department of Education. The Harvest Auction is held at the school which is located at 27 School St. in Houlton. To learn more about GHCA, visit www.ghca.com, “Like” them on Facebook or contact the office at 532-0736.
