“POCKET CHANGE WARS!”
SEND in the QUARTERS next week!
The next two weeks… Pocket Change Wars will continue. Watch the brief introduction video from Mr. Horning at this link https://youtu.be/iaiKYjMxUSY. This is organized by Parent-Teacher Fellowship (PTF). Money raised will help to support classroom and teacher needs at CLA. The students are competing for their TEAMS - the team that brings in the most coins each week gets a prize. Each week, students should bring in a different coin:
Week 1 - Pennies
Winner: 6th grade
Total: $170.40
Week 2 - Nickels
Winner: 3rd/4th
Total:$117.48
Week 3 - Dimes
9/28 through 10/2
Week 4 - Quarters

So empty those pockets, search the cushions of the sofa, ask grandma and grandpa to do the same…. and get in on the Pocket Change Wars!

PICTURE RETAKES - Friday, October 23 @ 8:30.
There were several students that were absent on regular picture day so plan on this day! For those that need retakes, here is your chance! If you already have pictures printed, turn them back in on this day and the new picture will be taken, printed and sent to school.
Technology Corner
Having Tech Issues? Now that our students and teachers have “hit their stride” in the school year, this is a reminder that if you have technology issues - chromebook issues, struggling to get the digital communication from school, or anything else tech-related, please ask for help! We have multiple staff members that can help get these issues solved. Just ask!
Reminder - devices are monitored by GoGuardian. All chromebooks which are used at school, whether owned by CLA, or personally-owned devices that are loaded with a school license, are monitored during off school hours. This is necessary for school use, since off-hours searches and activity often affect in-school usage peripherally. If students do not wish to be monitored by GoGuardian they need to use a different device than the one that is licensed by the school. Want to know more? Mrs. Stribling or Mr. Horning would be glad to talk with you!
From the Principal's Desk
Fall is in the air! I am a big fan of the cooler weather, the harvest time, apples, pumpkins, leaves changing colors, and all the other reminders that a new season is upon us. I believe, wholeheartedly, that God is also bringing us into a new season of gratefulness. We will begin a new theme of gratefulness with our Monday morning chapel next week. Please take the time to read and ponder Psalm 105. If not the whole psalm, at least look at the very beginning! Verse 1 says “Give thanks to the Lord, call on His name, make known among the nations what He has done.” I am hopeful that we can lead our students to see the amazing work of the Lord… and be grateful for all HE HAS DONE!
Blessings,
Mr. Horning
