Clifton Forge, VA (Nov. 12, 2026)— Covenant Christian Academy, located at 1601 Chestnut Street in Clifton Forge, recently held a Fall Festival in the back grassy area of the school. The five-hour-long event took place on Saturday, November 7, running from 10:00 a.m.—3:00 p.m. and was fundraiser for the nonprofit private Christian school.
"Vendors paid $20 a piece for their spot," said Reverend David Hanks, the school's pastor, "and I think we had seven vendors. And then also there was several items for silent auction for people to bid on them. That money will go to the school, and I believe the money from the lunch goes to the school, too." In addition to the vendors, some parents set up a table where they served hot dogs, chips, and drinks, donating most of their earnings back to the school, keeping only what they needed to recoup their cost. "I'm going to make a donation on my table, too, other than my table fee to help them," said Hanks.
"We can always use donations of snack items or school supplies," the Reverend added, noting that the best way to make any type of donation, monetary or otherwise, is to call the school to let them know when you will be dropping off items. As a safety precaution, the door is kept locked at all times.
