No Track? No Problem.

LFLA Track & Field Shatters Expectations

The 2025 Track & Field season at Lift For Life Academy was nothing short of legendary. With no home track and limited access to full facilities, the team faced challenge after challenge, yet still rose to the top.

Led by Coach Danielle Price, the team’s determination carried them from makeshift practices on grass and parking lots to the podium at the State Championship. “No track, no fancy facilities—just grass, a strip of rubber, a hole in the parking lot, and an unshakable belief in one another,” said Coach Price. “This season wasn't built on comfort, but was forged in grit. We set new personal, school, and state records, and against all odds, we finished third in the state.

Even without a track we still ran our hearts out, broke boundaries, and left our mark. I am proud of a team that turned every obstacle into fuel, and made history doing it.”

Their grit paid off in a major way:

• Girls & Boys District Champions
• Boys Sectional Champions
• Boys Team: 3rd place overall finish at State 
• Boys 4x100 State Champions — second year in row!
• Boys 4x200 State Champions — and a new Class 3 State Record
• Boys 4x400: State Runners-Up
• Girls 4x100: 4th in State
• Boys 4x800: 5th in State
• Boys 100m: 5th in State

This season proved that greatness doesn’t come from having perfect conditions—it comes from perseverance, passion, and a team that refuses to give up.

Design. Print. Hustle.

Middle Schoolers Learn Business 101

Lift For Life Academy alum Christian Noble (Class of ‘24) is back on campus this summer, but this time, he’s the one at the front of the classroom. Christian is leading a summer school enrichment course for middle schoolers focused on business, branding, and entrepreneurship.

Students are learning how to design, create, and print their own custom T-shirts while exploring what it takes to start a small business. “We’re opening their minds not only to T-shirt design but to the idea of business and what they can do with it,” Christian explained.

The hands-on project is already sparking big ideas. “I could really do this and make a business,” said D’Asia P., a rising 7th grader.

From students to CEOs in the making—this is the Lift For Life difference.

Egg-cellent Experiment: Science Gets Cracking

Middle school science got messy in the best way thanks to Mr. Kevin Wang’s recent “Egg Drop Challenge.” Students were tasked with designing protective packaging that could keep a raw egg intact when dropped from the top of the school’s staircase.

Using materials like paper, cotton, plastic bags, and tape, students applied concepts like force, impact, and gravity to engineer their own solutions. The real test came when it was time to climb the stairs and let gravity do its work.

Cheers (and a few cracks) echoed through the halls as eggs plummeted—some safely, others not so much. But every drop brought valuable lessons in trial and error, teamwork, and real-world science.

Imagination on Stage!

On June 25th, Lift For Life Academy brought smiles and applause to the Donn Lux Theater with its Summer Camp Showcase, featuring 2nd through 4th grade students in a lively celebration of learning and creativity. LFLA offered its summer camp throughout the month of June to a small group of students interested in delving into drama, music, science, and chess.

The show opened with an imaginative skit titled "Dr. Seuss’s Super Dee Duper Invention Convention," where students blended Seussian flair with real-world history. Dressed as whimsical characters, the Cat in the Hat and Thing 1 introduced famous inventors like Alexander Graham Bell and Madam C.J. Walker, sharing fun facts and creative inventions in rhyme and rhythm.

Following the skit, the stage came alive with a percussion performance, as students showed off their musical skills through drumming routines full of energy, coordination, and joy. The beat had the audience clapping along, ending the show on a high note.

From storytelling to rhythm, the showcase was a joyful reminder of what kids can create when learning meets imagination.
