From the Principal's Desk

There is a definite “buzz” around the school today, as Life Days is “taking over” the gym… It will be a very busy weekend.  For those of you who have not experienced this HUGE event… be ready for a great time.  And get ready to see things you may have never seen before, like a pie worth thousands of dollars.  Yes, that’s correct.  You’ll see…  For those who have experienced Life Days, well, here it comes again!  


In all seriousness, Life Days is a fun and memorable time.  But the purpose of Life Days is to fellowship together, in support of the ministry of Christian Life Academy.  It’s for the students, the families.  It’s for our Lord and Savior.  I’m excited to share this time with you all!

Blessings,

        Mr. Horning
