Life Days 2022 Updates - Just over one week away!
REMINDER - We need everyone to participate… in particular, we could use additional VOLUNTEERS - see the link below - for Setup on Wednesday, 10/12, for monitoring kids activities on Friday and Saturday, for concessions on Friday, for helping at the live auction on Saturday night… please sign up to help!
Currently, we have our 15th Anniversary CLA T-shirts available! They will be at the school office, at a price of $15/shirt, cash and carry… So stop by! We have sizes YM through XXXL, in green and white. There is NO pre-order for T-shirts, just the available stock… so come and get them! You may also call the office to check sizes available, and we will set shirts aside for the next day payment. This is a part of the Life Days fundraiser, but we’ll likely re-stock shirts through the year if we sell out on certain sizes.

Change Wars Update
The collecting of coins ended last week, with an amazing total collected:
$1206.35 in pennies/nickels/dimes/quarters. WOW!
PTF would like to thank all the families for participating in this fun challenge, raising money for classrooms and student activities. Great Job!
Parent-Teacher Conferences Coming up Soon!
It’s important for us to communicate well, and conferences between parents and teachers is a great way to connect. We hope that ALL parents will participate in conferences. We set aside Monday, October 24 as a conference day. You will see communications via email from staff asking you to sign up for a conference slot. Please sign up!
Pizza Ranch Tip Night - What a great time of fellowship and a Successful Fundraiser!
What a great time of eating, serving, and raising funds for CLA on Monday, September 26th! The Pizza Ranch in Morton was bursting with CLA families and friends. Can you believe that $1155 was raised in support of Tuition Assistance? That’s right! Thank you everyone for participating, and a special thank you to Mrs. Gibson for organizing and the many students and parents who volunteered. Fun times!
The next Pizza Ranch Fundraiser for CLA is set for Monday, February 20, so mark your calendars!

There is a remaining need for 2 volunteers in the office. This role assists with daily flow of the office and supports the teachers by making copies and various other tasks as they arise. Days currently needed are Mondays and Thursdays but any time you can give is greatly appreciated! Please consider giving to the ministry at CLA through volunteering!
From the Principal's Desk
Have you ever been involved with something that was hard work… but the feeling and results made the hard work completely worth it? I have been having these types of mornings this week! We’ve been pouring sections of the floor for the new high school building. Great work by the contractors - Prairieland Builders - Lorn, Everett and RJ - and I’ve also enjoyed working with different volunteers each day… On Tuesday it was Josh Schmidgall and Landon Horning… Wednesday I was joined by Jubilee Plattner, and the Riggenbachs (Jonathan, Kiera, Jordan and Jackson). This morning, Roran Stribling and Jesse Rupp were helping. My muscles are a bit sore, but my heart is bursting with joy and satisfaction of working together on a project. Each step moves us closer to our goal! Who’s helping tomorrow at 8 am??
If you would like to get involved, there will be MANY more opportunities! We’ll continue to pour concrete tomorrow, Monday, and Tuesday. I’ve heard there may be some projects on exterior steel, windows, doors getting started soon. Keep your ears open! I’ll send emails and post on facebook when opportunities arise! And also, blessings to those who have volunteered in so many previous projects. There are too many names to mention them all without missing some… you know who you are, and please accept a “Thank You!” from CLA!
Blessings!
Mr. Horning
