SECA is open today
Good morning Parents,
While some private institutions have closed today due to the frigid temperatures, no public school districts in our area have closed besides the Rochester City Schools (likely due to the fact that many of their students walk to school). SECA will be open today. Busing should be running as normal.
In Christ,
Pastor Rickner
Good evening Parents,
Many school districts in the area are closing due to the extreme wind chill factor predicted for tomorrow. As such, Southeast Christian Academy will be closed Wednesday 1/22. Stay safe and warm!
In Christ,

Hello Parents,
With another Buffalo Bills playoff victory comes another opportunity to celebrate! Tomorrow, Tuesday 1/21, students will be permitted to wear Buffalo Bills clothing on top, including hoodies, in addition to being allowed to wear sneakers this time! All other school dress code rules are in effect (it is not a dress down day other than what is stated above).
Let's take this time to enjoy the spoils of victory, and hope for more to come next week. If you have any questions, please feel free to text me.
In Christ,
Pastor Rickner
Hello Parents,
In celebration of the Buffalo Bills playoff victory today, students will be permitted to wear a Bills shirt or jersey over their regular school clothes! All other normal dress code rules apply. We will continue this tradition each Monday for as long as the Buffalo Bills keep winning playoff games. Enjoy, and GO BILLS!
In Christ,
Pastor Rickner
Dear Parents,
This year SECA will be hosting the annual Christmas party on Thursday, December 19th. The school-wide activities will begin with lunch at 11:50 pm.
Please have students bring a snack and drink to share with the school.
Students are allowed to dress down in gym clothes or festive Christmas attire regardless of character essay status. Boys may wear jeans or wind pants, and girls may wear culottes. Sweatpants and joggers will not be permitted.
On a separate note, some school bus garages may be operating on some days over the next 2 weeks, so please contact the bus garage in your school district and inform them that you will not need busing until Monday, January 6th.
Thank you for your support, and have a Merry Christmas!
In Christ,
Pastor Rickner
Hello Parents,
Tomorrow morning 12/15 the SECA Kids Choir will be singing. Please have them dress in their Sunday best (preferably something Christmasy!) and meet in the hall by the nursery at 10:45am. We look forward to hearing them sing!
In Christ,
Pastor Rickner
Dear Parents,
The Christmas season is upon us, and with it comes the option to wear Christmas attire at SECA! For the month of December, students are permitted to wear articles of clothing that have a positive Christmas message (no "I hate Christmas" or similar Scrooge-like attitudes). Only the Christmas party on Thursday 12/19 will be a dress-down day. On all other days in December, students must still follow the school dress code, but will be allowed to wear Christmas-themed sweaters, t-shirts, skirts/dresses, etc. I hope this helps to foster the Christmas spirit at school this month. And remember, Jesus is the reason for the CHRISTmas season!
In Christ,
Pastor Rickner

Dear Parents,
A wild idea shuffled into my head for this school year, and I decided to roll with it! Here’s the deal - SECA will be having our first Board Game Club activity after school. This club will broaden the horizons of the students who make it a point to participate, encouraging them to experience new and diverse games that will challenge them intellectually while having fun! They certainly won’t be board. Pastor Krohn and I have a large library of games to draw from, so students are bound to check out a game (or two, or three) that suits them and will capture their hearts. We play some games that are real diamonds, and we have them in spades. Students should definitely come check it out. This could start a domino effect, and they might become gaming kings and queens!
The Board Game Club is available for students 6th grade and up. It will run after school from 3pm-5pm on Tuesday December 3rd at the church. We encourage students to bring snacks, but dinner will not be provided. Students will have to be picked up by their parents at 5pm. Please fill out the permission slip below and return it to Pastor Rickner by Monday, 12/2 in order to participate.
In Christ,
Pastor Kevin Rickner

Good morning parents,
SECA Ensemble has begun, and Mrs. Safee is planning for their first song and is practicing parts with the students. If you will be opting out your student(s) from Ensemble this year, please notify me by Friday 10/25 so that we can finalize our Ensemble roster. Thank you for your cooperation.
In Christ,
