Silent
Auction Update........."Fantastic Evening!" "Amazing
event!" "Every detail so well planned!" "Such
organization!" "The hard work of the committee members was obvious!"
"This was their first one? You've got to be kidding! Incredible!" "So
much fun to dress up and go out for the evening!" "The food was
delicious and abundant!" "The gifts were so varied and had such a quality
about them!" These and many more comments like these were expressed at the

greatly humbled by the grace and mercy of our Lord upon this ministry and may
He receive glory alone for all that is accomplished.

NASA Astronaut Colonel Jeffrey Williams Visits AICA!
In May, AICA was given a special privilege with a visit from Jeffrey Williams (Colonel, USA, Ret). Colonel Williams spent the morning of May 18, 2007 at Aquidneck Island Christian Academy (AICA) giving a presentation about his recent travel aboard the International Space Station. Colonel Williams was the Flight Engineer and Science Officer for Expedition 13, during which he successfully completed two space walks logging 12 hours wearing Russian and U.S. space suits.
Previous to his launch on a Soviet spacecraft from Kakastan, Colonel Williams requested objects from the school that he might take with him into orbit! AICA sent Colonel Williams a painted school banner and a CD with pictures of all of our students. After six months in space, Colonel Williams visited the students of AICA, presenting amazing details of his space exploration via a spectacular slide show of God's beautiful and miraculous universe! During the presentation, Colonel Williams returned objects to AICA that accompanied him in space!
Jeff is a Christian man who came into contact with AICA during 1995 while working at the Newport Naval War College, and has since been a strong supporter of the school. Thank you, Jeff, and may God continue to richly bless you in the Lord Jesus Christ!

Aquidneck Island Christian Academy Wins First Game
The “Homeschool Riches” hosted the “Aquidneck Island Christian Academy (AICA) Eagles” in a basketball game on Thursday, in what became the first victory in an organized sport in the history of AICA.

The Riches also played well, displaying excellent passing, good intensity, and selfless play on the court. How has AICA responded to this historical, first ever win? “This is another example of the Lord’s faithfulness to this school”, replied Administrator Stephen Bailey.
