Grandparents’ Day!  Tuesday, November 22nd

We are so excited to invite our CLA grandparents to visit our school this fall.  Our theme is “Thankful for Grandparents” and we will celebrate on Tuesday, November 22, our last day of school before Thanksgiving break.  PreK will have their grandparents celebration from 10-11 am in the preK room.  We will invite grandparents of K-12 students to arrive in the 2:00-2:30 time frame for a welcome, and then have activities with students in the 2:30-3:30 time frame.  See the invitational flyer for more information!

CLA Christmas Program and Dinner - Thursday, December 15

After a two-year break, we will be holding a special Christmas Dinner on the evening of our CLA Christmas Program.  This will be held at Living Hope Community Church on December 15.  A detailed sheet regarding the dinner (tickets are $10, there’s a “table host” option for decorating… and much more…) will be coming home today or Monday.  


THE CHRISTMAS PROGRAM on December 15 is open to all, and tickets are not required.  All students participate in the program or help with the meal, so it’s an all-school event and we are excited to have it again this year! More information to come.


From the Principal's Desk

As the weather turns cold, I continue to pray for health and the safety of our families and students.  It turned sharply colder today!  From temperatures in the 70’s earlier this week to 20’s and 30’s… wow!  Just a reminder, that we watch out for the safety of our students at school, and we will keep students inside during outdoor recess if they are not properly equipped for the weather.  Send gloves, warm coats, hats, cold weather gear, as we love outdoor recess!  


We do know who holds control of the weather… (and it’s not the weatherman!).  I enjoy the changing of the seasons, and am grateful that God designed our world that way.  Have an enjoyable (cold) weekend!


Blessings!

        Mr. Horning
