LIFE DAYS IS HERE! We are looking forward to EVERYONE being a BIG PART of a BIG EVENT! Looks like great weather in preparation for great fun!
A couple of LIFE DAYS REMINDERS….
The ONLINE Auction (on FaceBook) will end at 6 pm Friday (tomorrow) night. Keep bidding… or if you haven’t started, there’s still time! A few new items were added just yesterday, and the bidding will get fierce I’m sure! (Read and play by the rules, of course!)
If you haven’t signed up to volunteer, what are you waiting for? There are still a few slots left https://www.trackitforward.com/site/840757/events
SCHOOL PICTURES were taken today… if you missed it, you can get a picture taken at the LifePrint Studio in Minier… and be added to the class picture! Just contact Amy Williams ([email protected]), or check with the office.
Winter Sports for grades 5-12 will kick off at the end of October. The deadline for signing up is next Wednesday, October 23rd. Check your emails and the sports section of Lion Tales for information!
Reminders… There are always a few items to remember, learn for the first time, or re-learn! Here’s a brief list of some things that might be important to remember or are coming up soon:
Drop off and Pick Up - We ask our PRE-K FAMILIES to wait until 8:30 to park (pull-in) in front of the preschool door. Our K-8 families use this lane for drop off right up until 8:30! This will avoid congestion in the busiest 8:15-8:30 time frame.
Absences - please inform the school regarding absences as soon as possible by calling the school office at 309-449-3346 main office, or call/text Mrs Stribling (HS). You may also want to email teachers regarding absences and pickup of schoolwork. In doubt, do both!
Music Lessons - Piano and Violin
Mrs. Waggoner is offering private lessons that happen during the school year. If you’d like to get involved right away, contact her at 309-840-1068 or [email protected]. She’s offering 30 minute piano ($20) and violin ($25) on a weekly basis Wednesday afternoon (during school) and Tuesdays and Thursdays (after school).
Volunteer Opportunities - Keep your eyes on these opportunities and get involved!
We are looking for a basketball coach for our 5th/6th grade team this year. If you are interested, or know someone who might be, please contact Mr. Horning. Basketball season begins in late October and we would love to have our coaches in place and trained in doing sports God’s way!!
If you have a special talent that you would like our staff to know about, maybe it is an opportunity to get involved and volunteer! Contact the office or your child’s teacher!

From the Principal's Desk
Looking forward to seeing you this weekend!! Yes, Life Days is a fundraiser. We count on it for about 10% of our operational budget each year - that’s a big deal! But from the very (humble) beginnings in 2008, Life Days has also always been about fellowship - about spending time with the “family” that Christian Life Academy becomes each year. If this is your first Life Days, welcome… and get ready. It’s a pretty big thing. But don’t miss the opportunities to visit and fellowship with one another. Life Days gives an opportunity to spend time with one another. That’s important in every family! See you this weekend!
“I have no greater joy than to know that my children are walking in the truth.” 3 John 4
Blessings,
Mr. Horning
